Fremantle coach Ross Lyon has copped criticism for flossing his teeth in the coaches box during his side’s 61-point belting at the hands of Collingwood on Sunday.

With his side under the pump at the MCG, Lyon was captured on camera dealing with his oral hygiene during the third quarter, a period which saw them concede six goals to two.

Prominent Melbourne journalist Damian Barrett lined up the Dockers boss in AFL Media’s Access All Areas program on Monday morning, questioning his mindset.

“People might think I’m making a big thing out of nothing here, but I just wonder about the mindset of a coach who takes a flosser into a coaches box,” Barrett said.

“I actually do think it’s a bit disrespectful of those around you.

“You may as well cut your toenails at the same time. Go up the back of the box and do it.

“I know there’s bigger things, but I just think it gets to where Ross’ mindset is at right now and I don’t think it’s where it should be.”
