The senior coach said off field support and excellent administration had been crucial.
“The past three years, the club has been really strong financially, thanks to great corporate backing with Woodside, Programmed and Decmil and a great executive and management,” he said.
“It's not one person, it's not one player, it's about the whole club and we're a serious football club that’s highly accountable and aims to win.
“The fact that we’re in the preliminary final means we’re making in-roads, but we're really keen to try and capitalise.”
Lyon said he was aware of the importance fans had placed on winning Saturday night’s game, which will send the club into its maiden grand final.
“It's no more important to them than it is to me,” he said.
“We're just keen to get out there and put a good show on.
“It’s one of the hardest games to win.”
