Fremantle coach Ross Lyon is adamant his future lies at Fremantle, but that hasn’t stopped Herald Sun Chief Football Writer Mark Robinson raising his name as a possible candidate for Carlton’s coaching role.

His comments come as reports emerged today that Brisbane legend Michael Voss met with the Blues coaching selection committee this morning.

While Robbo believes Voss is a frontrunner, he says caretaker David Teague is “on the podium” and Lyon is a chance.

“I know this is going to sound ridiculous, that’s OK, it’s coaching silly season,” Robinson said on AFL 360.

“I’m not ruling out Ross Lyon.

“I’m inundated with people from Perth saying ‘you’re too soft on Ross Lyon, you’ve got to go harder’, there’s real angst over there.

“He hasn't got a contract beyond next year, does he want a contract going into next season? “What if they say ‘we’re not giving you one’ and Ross goes, ‘well, I’m a professional coach, this club over here’s just offered me five years’, what does he do?”

Lyon today maintained he was committed to the Dockers.

“I’m fully committed to Fremantle,” Lyon told media.

“I’ve loved my time here … we’ve had some wonderful highs, we’re rebuilding, we’re three-and-a-half years in, there’s been some really good signs.

“It’s a tough spot, but that’s what you sign up for.

“I don’t want to indulge the conversation (about him leaving the Dockers) — I’m fully committed here and determined to continue to turn things around.”

Fox Footy has reported Voss was absent from Port training today.

The Brownlow Medallist struggled in his first job as coach of the Lions and was given his marching orders in 2013, joining the Power as an assistant in 2014.

He has since expressed regret at taking the Lions job and believes he has developed enough for another crack at a senior role.

“More my name won me my first role. I’m hoping that skill sets win me my second,” Voss told reporters in June.

“There’s no doubt that clearly my name was an influencing factor the last time around.

“The time (since) has been spent to try and … make yourself better at what you do and hopefully it’s for different purposes this time.

“I am pleased that there is a conversation in the industry right now around experience and the benefit of what that looks like … I don’t think we have had that conversation for a very long time.

“I frame it a little bit like you’re a 19-year-old player and at 200 games you’re different.

“You know more, you have learnt more, you learn more leadership, you learn more what you value and what you don’t, it is gained over a period of time.

“It’s a very hard one to say ‘what are those specifics’ because we’re looking at 10 years of time that has passed from the time that I stepped in to where I am now.”
