During the pre-season, the good folk in the AFL social media team have been running ‘Ask the Coach’ sessions where senior coaches take over the @AFL Twitter handle to answer questions from the fans.

Here’s Ross Lyon’s session:

@AFL Ross Lyon is here to answer questions because he’s contractually obligated to. Ask away

@FREO4life Do you think the team has learnt lessons from last year’s Grand Final loss?

@AFL Yes

@Docker21 Are recruits Colin Sylvia and Scott Gumbleton fitting in?

@AFL Yes

@Pavfan Ross, do you expect you’ll change the game plan much from last year?

@AFL Maybe

@Purplepride Ross I just wanted to say I’ve always admired you as a coach and person.

@AFL OK

@DrFreo How’s Pavelich’s body holding up?

@AFL Good.

@TimFreo5 Did you see the catch Tendai Mzungu took in the crowd at the Big Bash Final?

@AFL No.

@Dock654 Just interested in how you think the new interchange cap will affect games?

@AFL I don’t know.

@WADocker Do you know all the words to the club song?

@AFL Next question.

@Frem8975 Do you use social media much Ross?

@AFL Yes. I love it. The chance to communicate with others is a wonderful thing. It makes us human.
