Seeing your guess is as good as the Herald Sun's

I'll go with 4. I reckon there might be a dark horse we don't know about.

Well I suppose I better apply while I've still got time.

Obviously it's between, Mick Malthouse, Leigh Matthews, Rodney Eade, Mark Harvey, Gary Ayres and Dean 'the Brawler' Laidley

Me thinks it will be Leigh Matthews as Director of Coaching, Mick Malthouse as Senior Coach and the other four as the assistants.

I can't be far off it, 'cos I'm sure over the weeks since Lyin left us in the lurch I've read these names on the site as possibilities in some form or another.......... and we all know what experts we have on this site and 'people in the know'

Sad part poor Harves will miss out on a spot

The selection panel told him the reason was, he doesn't have an ego to match the aforementioned.

If we recall last time we were in this position, none of the remaining candidates got the job!

What happened last time?

I can't really remember the lead-up to Ross Lyon getting the gig; who was in contention?

I think and hope it's out of Watters and Richardson - had these 2 in a group of about 5 from day one.....

Ah yeah that's right. I remember the hot money seemed to be on Longmire now.

McKenna, Longmire, and Bond (2 are current coaches, the other Footy Ops Mgr)

Ross Lyons name was also on that list ... It was a final 4 candidates and Ross was the looong shot

I reckon they have already decided by now.

So 1.

Yes obviously. The poster asked, who (else) was in contention in the lead up to Lyon getting the gig. Seeing he mentioned Lyon only, I didn't include him

I'll be upfront; that's not enough to convince me. It's more than enough for the HS though.

Douglas Adams was asked many times during his career why he chose the number 42.

The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do' I typed it out. End of story
