Re: Sack Lyon
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...

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

Re: Cold Hard Facts
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...

Re: David King and Whateley analysis of what's gone wrong this year
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...

Re: Do you enjoy supporting the Saints?
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...

Re: Sandy at Wonthaggi
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...

Re: Chasing Weitering
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...

Re: Byrnes for Zebs
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...

Re: Philipou’s Manager
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.

Let’s not let the truth get in the way of a good story Here’s some truth for you armchair I counted 8 clearances between Marshall and Steele from a stoppage where they turned and kicked the ball directly forward. The ball went low and somewhere between 15 - 30 metres in a straight line towards the ...

Re: Votes v Hawks
Got to base my votes on effective effort over four quarters, not just stats so..
5. Battle
4. Wilke
3. Bonner
2. Marshall ( though his opponent did well early)
1. Steele (another slow start to a game but I'll cut him slack for coming good later)

Re: RTB's Presser
I remember well the time around the club when Lyon left years back- it was common knowledge that he wasn't interested in rebuilding teams. The Lyon I used to notice at training back then looks and sounds a lot different than the one I've seen at training now. Back then he was clearly driven and whol...
