It's not a magic figure. It's what I thought at the time. If we were good enough to win 15 in a row...logic tells you we would probably win a few more from there. Logic also tells you you cannot get the best out of your playing group unless there is some fear involved in their motivation for wanting...

One thing I'm not is one-eyed and one other thing I'm not is stupid. Ever heard of Edward De Bono? As I've said many times before...I didn't see the logic in keeping Rooy and King and Gardiner and Dal and BJ and Gilbo and Joey and Schneids and others out there each week after we'd won 15 in a row. O...

Yep, it's that easy isn't it...maybe you should just let go now.....move on it's 2012 Ok thanks for letting me know what year we are in. What's your point...times change...Yep, I agree. Lyon should have figured it out, but he was stuck back in 2005/6 wasn't he? If he cleared his mind of his bias an...

In the end it was pleasing.....no hang on....it was bullsh1t...What's the point of winning 19 in a row!!?? Ross was handed the blueprint and he failed. The fact that the team played in pre-lims before he arrived and the fact that we had such an awesome year in 2009, tells me that it was all wasted o...

Oh do you explain Robert Eddy getting 33 games - including Grand Finals - but being delisted a few weeks later? Makes no sense - unless Lyon seen as a Lyon mistake of judgement. Rather large mistake in judgement. And there are plenty more to list. As I have said all along - Lyon = very good coach -...

boring, negative ALMOST succesful. And like other ALMOST successful coaches, he will be judged when his time is up. I reckon they'll be saying things like; too conservative in his footy philosophy and basically too defensive to the detriment of the Saints chances in 2009 and 2010. Maybe he didn't h...

We are lucky to have a guy like Stanley on the list and we need to give Rhys every opportunity to be one of the hardest guys for opposition sides to match up on... Rhys could develop into a full forward if that's where the coaching staff reckon is his best position and then Kosi can share ruck dutie...

Is your enthusiasm for Ross prejudiced. Why do you always jump to his defense? Terry Wallace got a second chance and failed. Rodney Eade got a second chance and failed. Gary Ayres got a second chance and failed...all of them failed to win a flag and all of them will go into the history book as good ...

There are some Ross Lyon devotees on this forum like Clarky that respond to all posts that criticise him and always jump to his defense...and there are others that call a spade a spade and see his failings regarding team selection and blooding the youth... fair dinkum clarky... I wouldn't be surpris...

Great read, thanks for posting.

When your team has kicked 2 or 3 goals up 'til half time (like we did with our last match under Lyon and many other matches throughout his tenure) then perhaps that summarises the philosophy of the head coach and the stats are bound to reflect the game plan to a large extent. My read on the stats fr...

Yep......... papers are also 'making it up'!! http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/doubts-raised-over-jacks-draft-20111210-1ool4.html Both Kieren and Garry Jack have subsequently - and independently - told journalists that, in fact, no such registration was ever submitted because the family was ignora...

Sounds impressive. Does he often chat to you? Thats the coach not your alter ego. Just asked you a simple question. Im amazed you know all that from watching training. I dont go anymore bit it seems people pick up a lot more than previously from going to training. I must start going again. Alright ...

Scott Watters is the boss Essentially, that is what Scott was saying without actually saying it. I think it's great that he is open minded about making a decision in 5 or 6 weeks time. Apart from the fact that he will consult with the board and with the senior playing group, I think Scott Watters i...

Recruitment has been for young players - exceptionally quick and highly skilled. Also good kids with strong character. . Interesting that actually a good chunk are not kids. Wilkes, and Milera are mid twenties....and Saad 22. Markworth is a year older than the kids. Two more rookies who are 21 and ...

What do you think of Jack Crisp?

I reckon if Scott had left out Vardy, the Cats would have still won the flag, just a hunch…

What the hell did Vardy contribute to the flag?

Oooooops I meant Varcoe

RE: '09 GF. Yes, Lyon, by his own admission, says he should have given more game time to Ball in the second half, and also humbly admits to another match-day error on that day (can't remember it now) BUT He also says, (and I agree with him), that the reason we lost the game is because we missed so ...

Article on Crisp: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/everybody-wants-to-know-bushranger-jack/story-fnau1fjg-1226191970536 Crisp has that steely resolve and 'the look in his eyes' of a kid that could play 200 games if his body lets him. If character is anything to go by, then this kid might be ab...

...........My guess is will will miss him as we havent really got anyone to replace him. My guess is that Wilkes is a like for like replacement with Dawson. The reason Pelchen and the club recruited Wilkes was to fill the hole for a year or two. You can pin your hat on a couple of finals if you lik...
