Ross Lyon has revealed he turned down an approach from Collingwood regarding their senior coaching position due to the “instability” at the club.
The former St Kilda and Fremantle coach has been the hot tip to take over at either Collingwood or arch-rivals Carlton, who are expected to part ways with coach David Teague – who is contracted through 2022 and maintains he is the right man for the job – in coming weeks.
After initially suggesting that he wasn’t interested in returning to AFL coaching circles, Lyon has changed his tune in the last week, and he revealed an advance from Magpies football boss Graham Wright.“I don’t think Graham Wright would mind, he reached out to a friend to get my number and I was aware and just said respectfully I wouldn’t entertain that for a variety of reasons,” Lyon told Nine’s Footy Classified.
“It’s hard to articulate. Sometimes it’s just sometimes just chemistry.”
Collingwood has been shrouded by off-field controversy all season, with a battle for the presidency taking place behind the scenes between the incumbent Mark Korda and challenger Jeff Browne. Lyon admitted the boardroom antics played a part in his decision.
“If you get a headhunter ring you and you go and meet them and you go for the job, if you haven’t got that chemistry, that happens pretty quick, well it doesn’t happen or it shouldn’t happen,” he said. “If Ed [McGuire] was president of Collingwood it’d be a different story.”
“I think it’s instability. I think Nathan’s a bit unlucky. I don’t know Nathan, Nathan’s not a friend, but just from the outside ... I think if you see misalignment it’s a red flag.”
