We saw how much they wanted to kill for each other in Ross's last two years at the Dockers where he got sacked.
Like last weekend
Sure, one is a young talented coach with a depleted list and the other a supposingly experienced coach that has never won a flag and been sacked.
Now I am not convinced Lyon will work, but I think the pendulum has swung too far from over coached defensive Bolts to under coached, player run, do as you feel Teague.
Also I think the AFL in general need to get away from thinking anyone who has ever lost their job at a club never deserves another chance ever again, in other sports it simply doesn't work that way. Leigh Matthews got sacked from the Pies and did ok at Brisbane. Eade same at Sydney, did well at the Dogs, without getting the ultimate prize.
Going back further Parko had coached Hawks out of finals then came to us and won 2 flags, also got the flick at Fitzroy before coming back to us, and from us before that!
Sometimes circumstances at a club lead to a coach being burnt out, losing the group, or the club just needing a change.
We need more of the former that Bolts was trying with structure, but to get buy-in from the players. Its simply not sustainable to be playing exactly the same way for 2.5 years, its been the same regardless of injuries, there is no identifiable system to how we play, as soon as things start going badly everyone just goes into self preservation mode, or trying to do things as individuals.
We need to work with what we've got as best we can, every side has deficiencies, every side has strengths.
I think ultimately the review will find that:
1. Not enough going on tactically, games we have won just seem to be when McKay and/or Walsh have dominated
2. Too player run, which Teague tried to turn around 2nd half of the year, but seemingly too late
3. Further to point 2, showing loyalty to players who helped him get the job like they were some sort of club premiership legends (like Murph and Casboult)
4. Wasn't a great idea to go with what they players wanted in 2019 rather than going through a process
