4. Sincs

1. Owens (needs to string 4 quarters together)

As far as I can tell our midfield is setup to try and negate rather than do anything constructive I get that our midfield is not flash but they need to play with some freedom and dare Coaches need to stepup and make proper use of what we have That's a real problem, but I don't think with Lyon's sys...

It's not like we have a great forward line waiting for a good midfield to come along and help them out- both are sh*thouse. I think the votes for the best players in the comp this season are mostly midfielders. Our forwards don't seem to know each other, and the mids are just static when the ball is...

THE NEGATIVITY IS CREEPING RIGHT THROUGH TO THE PLAYERS.

sorry had the caps on.

To the players and coach- you give us something to smile about, and we'll smile back at you. I don't think they give a stuff about us

Maybe Bassat could drag some other ex coach out of retirement and see if that helps..couldn't do any worse. In my long years as a Saint supporter, I'm really over the excuses for failure and dumb decisions from the various boards and presidents. Too many talented players- senior and inexperienced, a...

Set up two goals in a low score, but I guess we need a whipping boy. Better off looking to the coach's box

There is no rebuild, just stuff ups

Bassat should hang his head in shame- what a dud appointment

Poorly coached team lacking confidence

We just need better players - be used for previous coaches? 1 million percent agree that is absolutely applied to previous coaches. Haven't you been paying attention for the best part of a decade and at least since the sacking of Richo and Ratts, I have never ever waivered in my belief of the well ...

Maybe he just has better players ??

No talent = no coach

We need more talent if Lyon is to be successful.

He doesn't have a magic wand.

He can't do magic tricks.

He can't improve every player he meets.

Clearly hasn't got a magic wand- couldn't win a premiership with good teams.

I recon Jones might be a starter for this game, maybe Pou as sub. We need run in the midfield

The guy is a loser and should never have been brought back

This will be a good game for those who really want to step up- you won't get that many chances.

Was glad he was dropped, was playing weak footy.

Has demanded selection and is playing for his life. Glad he gets the opportunity. An in form Jones would elevate us substantially.

Probably sub for the game

Spreader of left wing crap and spam. Can't stand them and I never watch .

How do you know they spread left wing crap if you never watch them?

As usual with St Kilda, there’s a truckload of overreaction when we have a poor game or two. And the reality is, that’s what it’s been. Two poor games. Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn. Throw in the first half vs Richmond and the second half vs Essendon and you could say three games in total. Two of t...

Ross needs to give the on field leaders license to make those calls in game. I think he's still a bit too much of a control freak, despite the outward demeanor. That’s just utter speculation and rot with respect Lyon is on record multiple times stating they do not sit the players down and say “play...

Been supporting the Saints for decades- but haven't enjoyed it much as time goes on. I'm not really in the fan club of any coach, but I was very disappointed with the Lyon leaving, Watters changeover, very disappointed with the lack of support the management of the club, and a few sooky senior playe...

Clark definitely deserves a call up to the seniors, most likely for Hastie. I'm not sure about Dow. In both the games I've seen Dow play, he has struggled with the pace in the early stages and has only begun to deliver much after half time. At AFL level the players tend to be a little fitter, so th...

Not going to leave Carlton for us as long as his @rse points to the ground. Fine by me if we up his price and stretch Carlton’s salary cap. Tall defenders are not our pressing issue. Midfielders and more of them please. Like most others I wonder why Owens is not tried as a mid, there must be a reas...

Maybe just lost confidence- I did see him on the wing against a Hawk twice his size who was grabbing lots of marks and was wondering why they left him there (could just be that Batchelor is a sh*t coach). But in that game, all our mids/ on ballers were terrible and only put in a passable effort late...

Might be a foolish thing to put on line as a manager, but probably factual. Owens and Pou are young players out of form, and clearly can't carry out what Lyon's game plan needs, and King is highly talented but doesn't work hard enough defensively.

We require ruck assistance for Marshall (Heath on our List) We require defensive assistance for Howard, our only KPP defender with size And we need to move on from the one paced (slow) mids we put in there week after week after week They do not only not provide breakaways from contests, they also l...
