Fremantle coach Ross Lyon is poised to step back into more direct hands-on control of Dockers ball movement strategies in a bid to eradicate hurtful turnovers from his side's defence.

Lyon is considering a major overhaul of his support staff in launching a planned return to the finals next year.

A significant step in his sweeping makeover will be the coach himself to take increased handling of ball transfer processes and skill development, as well as structures and implementation of full team defensive strategies.

Lyon could coach training and specific match-day attacking and scoring attempts as well as defence when his unit is not in possession of the ball.
