I almost feel sorry for our former assistant coach, Ross Lyon. Can't win a trick at the moment......a great coach who looks like he won't ever taste the ultimate success. He's gone so close, a point not lost on Titus O'Reilly......... "Ross Lyon: I can lead Dockers to almost winning Premiership again" Ross Lyon has reacted to Fremantle�s poor start by assuring Dockers fans that he can again take a team to falling just short of a premiership.
�I�ve got faith in our processes, our list management and my coaching ability to ensure Fremantle lose a Grand Final before the end of my contract,� said Lyon.
�It hasn�t been a great start but building a team capable of almost winning a premiership takes time. Rest assured, our aim is to nearly deliver a flag to long-suffering Dockers fans.�
Fremantle player Zac Dawson has backed Lyon as the man to get the club agonisingly close to a Premiership.
�Ross has the game plan that can get you almost all the way,� said Dawson.
�We as a club have all bought into Project Bridesmaid, as we�re calling it, and I�m teaching the younger guys how to be almost good enough.�
Fremantle captain Nat Fyfe said he hoped to play in Fremantle�s next Grand Final.
�Not for them, for the winning team. I�m really excited.�
Again, great stuff from one of the keenest and funniest observers in footy, Titus O. My prediction is that the Dockers will languish at or near the bottom this year, Ross will move on and never coach again unless as an assistant......again! A bit sad. Is he contracted for next year?
