So Lyon could be the Trojan Horse for an eventual takeover.

You reckon Lyon would get the ability to bring his own assistants over.
Dare him to make SOS one.  >:D

If they appoint Lyon and tell him no he can't choose certain assistants, can you imagine the chaos that would pursue!
 
On the silly side, what if Bolton applies and Lyon should choose him?

There are so so many ways to destabilise this situation, it's almost comical how it has been constructed.

Maybe but Lyon seems pretty desperate to get a senior coaching gig to me so not sure he would drive a very hard bargain immediately. Maybe he’ll to grind down the enemies over time. I can’t imagine SOS’s enemies being too keen on Lyon so there’s a rift straight off the bat.

Players must be looking over their shoulders wondering who they can/can’t trust.
Remember the rumours about some players questioning whether players were really injured or not towards the end of the year?

Cripps pulled out on match day against Port did he not.
Then snatched it against the Giants in the last week.
He was a late out against the Pies in R18 as well.

For a bloke who played with injections for most of the 1st half of the year, he certainly seemed to lose his pain tolerance once the review was started. Coincidence?

Yep.   Just because he's contracted dont  automatically assume he'll be lining up for us R1 2021.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Yep...Lyon will pick his own crew and I reckon SOS might cool his heels until Liddle is gone, IMO the latter will go when he gets a better job offer.

And he held out for a long time before re-signing on a long term deal with a pay cut. Wonder what possible undertakings were given to him by the club and could have also been in play?

Can't believe I'm hearing all this anti-Cripps noise. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no inside knowledge about;
1. How his body is
2. What he thinks about anyone

So, I'm willing to give the champ the benefit of the doubt after a couple of lean years based on his output which includes ;
Leigh Matthews Trophy: 2019
2× All-Australian team: 2018, 2019
3× John Nicholls Medal: 2015, 2018, 2019
I think he deserves it

Rocky, this is the type of speculation that flows when people lose trust in an organisation. I hope it all turns out to be just that, speculation.

Its not 'anti-cripps', it is pro-carlton.

Look at the 8 points i made on the last page, and tell me where i am wrong.

Among the players to voice their support were the Curnow brothers, Sam Walsh, Harry McKay, Jacob Weitering and Nic Newman.
I don't mind pointing out that they are all very much team players.

Quote
Adam Saad, Zac Williams, Caleb Marchbank, Liam Stocker, Liam Jones and Tom De Koning are also believed to have spoken favourably of Teague in the review.

It’s unclear whether Patrick Cripps also voiced his support behind closed doors to Liddle, as he did in public.

Give me a break Krudd. As if I could be bothered in engaging in one of those Tête-à-tête's and as if you'd ever admit you were wrong. But just in summary, he is prone to break down, he's too slow, he can't kick, he's selfish but he's still worth something to another club so let's get rid of him. Yeah, as I said earlier, I'm not ready to write him off just yet.

Thats the thing, there is no right or wrong. Its an opinion.
If you disagree with any of it, be my guest.

So far, the only 'pro' to keeping him is what he has done in the past.
Nobody questions any of my 'cons'.
