Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
Of course it's not Ross' job to develop apprentice or specialist coaches, is it. And by the way, be cautious of cause and effect linkages. E.G. do great teams inherently contain chaps that are natural coaches and pursue or ....... Will Fly be credited if Pendlebury becomes a good coach. If it's onl...

Re: Fingers crossed🤞 or we’re doomed.
Torrential rain is forecast for Perth late Saturday afternoon. Hopefully it arrives around midday to even up the skill and speed deficiency we have through the middle and down the spine. If there’s fine weather and the noise of affirmation is added….things will be looking gloomy. Usually fumbling a...

Re: Membrey
Tim found form at Sandy and clearly is fit and uninjured, probably gained some confidence, so as an experienced player, gets a recall. Must say Butler looked off the pace last week, but clearly the small defensive forward role is failing, like most other things at the moment, and Butler knows how to...

Re: Kane Cork Sucker
He doesn't say St Kilda should trade King, he says for the sake of his own career he should look to move to a club that will utilise his skills. Yes, it is an article designed to be controversial but it is not definitively wrong. King would look better in a team that was more attack focused. Ross's...

Re: Team for Saturday
Should have dropped the entire midfield, they are dragging the team down, and mixed with Lyon's stagnation game, we will go nowhere in a hurry.

Re: Match Day Demons v Saints
I will tell you why Bonner stuffed up because we have no one forward of the ball to kick to. Ross Lyon is a soccer coach who thinks there's an off-side rule in AFL. Horse shyte All he had to do was hit a target Stop talking out your arse Slack kick, sort of hard to hit targets when your teammates a...

Re: Ross Lyon Looks ahead to Narrm - Pressser
Loved Ratts I didn't have a problem with him, he had the same problem Lyon is having with regards to access to his first choice players. It's always been a really hard club to coach for one reason and one reason alone, lack of talent. It's perpetually frustrating that most of our fans don't get tha...

Re: Ross Lyon Looks ahead to Narrm - Pressser
If Lyon wasn't our coach, there is no way we play finals last year with the injuries we had for the first half of the season. No chance! A few weeks ago, we would have beaten by twice as much against the Dogs if he wasn't coaching. RTB can clearly coach, and I am certainly a lot more confident in o...

Re: Team Saints V Melbourne
This is a game we can win by playing attacking, positive football, exploiting Melbourne's lack of real leg speed. That's what West Coast did, apparently ... I didn't watch the game. If Lyon allows the game to open up, by shelving his negative lame plan, we should win on the MCG. You know Lyon will ...

Re: Jon Ralph is a tool.
All he is saying is that our good performance last year (which surprised everyone, noting the year of experimentation and the injuries we had particularly early) resulted in the bar being set too high for this year. He is under the pump because he isn't living up to last year when in reality with o...

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
A few things from that Collingwood game we won- the midfield were much more attacking, Windy played a more attacking game and got the ball out, and since his suspension, seems to have gone into his shell a bit and is now just defending and nullifying. Nas got a lot of the ball and set up a lot of pl...

Re: Good kicks taking short kicks
I'm always bemused by the way we take so long to bring the ball in from a kick out, often just to kick it 15m. Yet our opponents almost always bring it straight in, often with kicks of 30-50m. Watched a game a few days ago, the kick-in went a long way towards the wing to 2 guys who were well in the...

Re: Sack Lyon
With all due respect, Battle at his height can get away with playing a CHB (nominally) But it is another matter playing as a key forward at that size where you have an opponent focused on spoiling (at least) And Owen is 191cm, so smaller again In regards Ratts and defence, during the season in Quee...

Re: Sack Lyon
I think it is time for Battle to be put in the forward half- he came to us as a forward anyway. All the talk about Owens should be in the midfield is just pie in the sky, I would like to see him developed as a CHB as I think he would perfect in that role. Battle is more skilful than Owens and has be...
