Lyon loves Johnno as a player, and has always stuck up for D Pearce. If it was exclusively up to him, I reckon it would be a no-brainer - but there are other people that need to be on board, not least of all the players. Some players don't want the fuss. Zac Dawson, for example, politely declined the offer. The Wiz was shafted in the offseason, so he didn't get a chance, but declined to offer to go around in a ute.
I really hope they do get a farewell game - not many players get the chance and they've earned it.
