Given that most have me as a screaming Ross fanatic, I will answer. No, personally I thought the end was close, and I get today’s decision.
It has been extremely frustrating each year roll out with the same glaring issues behind our losses. A lack of skills and not having our best 22 available. After the Essendon loss on the weekend, I was also frustrated by Lyon’s unwillingness to take responsibility for this. He is the head of our football program, and to ignore the fact that our football program is ineffective at addressing this is unacceptable.
I can also see the other side in that in three drafts we have 12 players left from 2016. At the end of this year we will have 10. In any bodies language that is a massive turnover. With key personnel out for a lot of this season there was a case that things could be different.
All that being said I am looking forward to a new face and game style four struggles against all opposition have worn me out.
