I've read quite a few comments like this in the drafting forum. Originally Posted by Roosurgence Quote: It's not the first offer.

If Lyon rejects Everitt over trying to keep a good relationship with Roos, he doesn't have what it takes to be an AFL coach. Pelchen should swing by the Saints table next year me thinks

Actually Lyon was supposed to come to Sydney (as a player) in 1996, but was told by the AFL that it would have pushed us over the salary cap.

Suggest you read the autobiography of Roos "Beyond 300". Fantastic read! The Ex Fitzroy boys seem closer than any other group. Roos best friend is A Lynch, G Pert and a swag of others. Lyon was invited to Swans immediately after Roos got the nod... what does that tell you.... reckon he would invite a bitter foe? J Blakey taking over his position. Roos has talked up his assistants at ...

It was their friendship that brought Lyon to the club. Lyon didn't actually stay at Fitzroy until 1996. Like all of the senior players, he left. Tried to join Roos at the Swans at the end of 1994, but we ran into cap trouble and couldn't fit him in. He went to Brisbane but retired due to injury after two games. So your first post is rather wishful thinking, really. As Corpuscles ...

Maybe Lyon has said he's not interested in Spider because...he's not interested in Spider. Everitt has a history with St Kilda and it didn't end on particularly good terms. Lyon is going into a new club and will want to stamp his authority and start to build the culture he wants to work within. Arriving at the same time as a player at the end of his career who already has a colourful ...

Serious, is Roo's that naive to think if Lyons gets Spida instead of Sydney he would loose his friendship? Come on? Serious, Roos isnt that stupid he knows this is a buisness and Lyons has to do whats best for Saint Kilda instead of not trying to step on his friends toes. Either way, we better trade Spida off, for Sydney or Saint Kildas 2nd round pick!
