Ross Lyon
Ross Lyon (born 8 November 1966) is a former Australian rules football player and the current senior coach of the St Kilda Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously coached St Kilda from 2007 to 2011 and the Fremantle Football Club from 2012 to 2019. He played for Fitzroy and the Brisbane Bears from 1985 to 1995.
Lyon is second on the all-time AFL/VFL list of most games coached without a premiership with 354, behind only Rodney Eade (377).
Lyon began his career with Fitzroy in 1985. After playing the last five games of the season and the first game in 1986 he missed the remainder of the season and most of 1987 due to groin and back injuries that was later diagnosed as spondylolisthesis. He returned to play 19 games in 1988 and ended up playing 127 games over the next ten years until the end of the 1994 season.
Lyon played for Fitzroy from 1985 until 1994 for a total of 127 games and kicked 112 goals.
Lyon played two games with the Brisbane Bears in 1995 before retiring due to a knee problem. As a player, he battled injury but was known for his fearless approach to the game, particularly his strong tackling and bumping.
After retiring as a player, Lyon began his coaching career as an assistant coach under senior coach Robert Walls at Richmond in 1996.
Lyon moved to Carlton in 2000. He spent three years at Carlton both as an assistant coach and as the club's VFL coach where he worked under senior coaches David Parkin, Wayne Brittain and Denis Pagan.
In 2004, Lyon joined the Sydney Swans in an assistant coaching position as midfield coach, working under senior coach Paul Roos his former Fitzroy teammate. He was instrumental in helping the Swans reach consecutive grand finals in 2005 and 2006, triumphing in the former year.
