The old phrase
"be careful what you wish for" springs to mind reading many of these informed assessments of Ross Lyons ability. Last season he was set upon by all and sundry for being too defensive and ugly in his style of football. Now he is changing the teams style to fast open high scoring football he is a coach with no idea or plan? It seems he is damned either way. Here are some indisputable facts, he has been Freos most successful coach, he is the only coach ever to take Freo to a GF (and did it in only his second year at the club). If you sack him who replaces him? Ask the current coach of Carlton how easy it is to coach at AFL level, this is the same guy who had a perfect win loss ratio when he was fill in coach at the Hawks, his answer may be a little different now he is responsible for the whole deal and the buck stops with him.
