This reads just like a Lyon press conference, Morgan.
but fellow veteran Danyle Pearce hasn't been recalled.
"Last year he really struggled with his disappointment (at being dropped)," Lyon said of Pearce.
"Some people are a bit more embarrassed by it (a farewell game). He hasn't been a Docker for life, although he's played 120 games for us, he's been a great acquisition for us, I can't speak highly enough.
"But what happens is when he played, he became a whipping boy pretty quick. There's no doubt that hurt him.
"They are human, players. He heard all the criticism.
"There's no doubt he's been scarred by that. He's just balanced that up, do I need all that headache, or do I just keep enjoying myself (at Peel)?.
"I've heard all the rumours (like) he's disgusted. It's all garbage."
I don't like the way it has been put forward here, it sounds just like the excuses we have heard week after week about the way the future of Freo is going, and it is pretty telling that it is piggybacked on to the Brad Hill story
