Here’s captain obvious….

I don't think Collingwood have a better list. They have a few gun players and the rest of the list average or below ours. How many of their players would get a game in our 22? The "few gun players" is a massive difference though. You only need 2 or 3, but they need to be league leaders in...

I think takeaway, nostalgicsaint and Yorkeys would be perfect as assistants to Lyon. The perfect Yes men Watch the football on Sunday smartarses and then we'll chat But you don't chat. Some hope the current regime works given time. That's not a crime, it's being a genuine supporter. You want Ross t...

Fell asleep watching. Can't imagine what the post game analysis is like with the team. I think you should just get it off your chest - you don’t like the coach Stop pretending with rubbish “I’m not a hater but…here’s sone vitriol I wanna just put right there…” You strike me as the type that likes t...

?

He looked like Ross Lyon
Not overly emotional
Factual
On with the job
…I didn’t get tired from that ..

These pressers are getting shorter by the week, but I’m sure polymer brain will have something to say about that. :lol: There’s that quality original thinking again 💩 How bout you just ask Scollop if you can cut n paste his posts …save you a heap of time …he might even let you squawk occasionally f...

Seriously?
Coach trolls fan base with selections?
Get a grip.

It’s bat shyte crazy stuff but you just gotta laugh at mehebabblelots ….he tries hard

I think he’s just out to upset you as the major influencer you are ..

Actually Richmond were pathetic last week so ok to leave Garcia
But I’d have liked to see Crouch - unless injured
I’m no fan of Seb …need to move on
Clark / Crouch to help mids I’d have expected
But meh ..
Better get top 3 pick for this

I suggest we’ve conceded this one

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...

IIRC when RTB first came to coach us, the saints' fanbase was expressing the same sort of sentiments seen here. He inherited a very talented list from GT and promptly took the team to.......ninth. He was seen as being to negative and defense based, producing a boring style that mimicked the Swine's...

Lots of talk lately re our woes is it coaching ? Lack of talent? (probably bit of both is the beige reality) that said I thought N Buckley said it nicely this week on Fox when asked what the results might be if Fly swapped with Lyon…his thoughts were….Lyon would go considerably better with Pies and...

To put the bulls*** to one side AND identify the idiots who promote it, Ratts NEVER presented that St Kilda had a “top 4” List I can inform as fact that Brett, in his final season, presented to the Board that our List ranked 14 of 18, and an improvement based on the recruiting of Hill, Ryder and Cr...

Put a fork in him, hes done. Taken a middle team and turned them into a bottom 4 side that cant score. For reference Geelong without a bunch of their best players go to Darwin, get flogged by 60+ points and still manage to kick 100 themselves. At least their supporters have some goals to cheer. We ...

Silver lining. We should get a soft draw again next year Maybe. I think hawthorn will be a powerhouse next year and the remaining decade after that. Will probably cop them twice at this rate. North and west coast should also improve. To be honest last thing we need is a soft draw It’s fools gold!! ...

So Teffers Are you saying he inherited a bad list Ipso facto Ratten had a poor list Meaning it wasn’t his coaching - it was the list then too… right?! Ratten's defensive systems were s*** and he didn't know where our List was at. So it had a bit to do with his coaching. In hindsight Richo was a bet...

takeaway, Staying conservative in your thinking is not the answer to St Kilda improving. Considering Brad Crouch as our 'best inside mid' is flawed. Windy was only in his second year, Sincs was only starting to be used in the middle and Steele was injured. Crouch is fading just as Seb Ross is. He a...

So there we have the reason for the vitriol against Lyon “Showed his true colours and ran off to Freo for the money” Yes, Lyon took poor financial advice and found he and his family in a compromised financial position (living with his parents as I recall) And, given those circumstances, Freo came w...
