Re: RTB's Presser

I am a Ross Lyon fan. The best coach to coach St Kilda in my memory. That said, he needs to own how we are playing in terms of attacking and hitting the scoreboard. Put the acid on a insipid midfield and dysfunctional forward half. Those are factors he can identify as requiring improvement, he simp...

Re: Chicken or the Egg

Look, I just don’t agree with people blaming one player or 2-3 players for losses. I also don’t agree on the coach solely taking the blame. It’s a team game. You wear the losses the same as when you celebrate the victories…as a team The sooner they start doing that, the better our culture and the so...

Re: Chicken or the Egg

I like what you’re saying. I totally agree on the youth thing, but you lost me with your line about your criticism of Jimmy Webster and praise for Ben Paton … Paton is the better lock down defender. What did Paton do today that you’re giving him credit for? He did not have a goal kicked on him. He ...

Re: Chicken or the Egg

What we have is a group that is very young and they need games against VFL squads They will learn the game and they can grow and improve their footy together and build connection. That’s what we need for a successful side. Players that are connected and want success for their team mates Play them al...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks

And what does that mean? Perhaps if we did not - we wouldn’t be 3-6 We dropped to 15th on the ladder in 2018. We refused to trade out Jack Steven when he was worth something at the end of that year. We brought in a banged up and washed up ex champion in Dan Hannebery. Swans keenly and gladly let go...

Re: Ins and Outs

I don't agree with Paton being preferred over Dow. Paton was ok but I reckon Lyon wants him for a tagging or run with role Hawthorn have a pretty good midfield so not a bad strategy, but we recruitd Dow for our midfield. With Crouch out, we need to see if Dow can improve our clearances. We should b...

Re: Hayes the missing link

He was good last week. Could have possibly been important in the second half for us but Lyon decided to sub him off early Might have been part of the plan to sub him out, but he wasn't killing it before that was he? He wasn't alone in that respect The fact remains that we had half a dozen players to...

Re: Membrey should have been subbed off, Not Hayes!

But the thing is... you have to coach that out of him.
Lift your game Max or you're playing VFL son

A good coach will get the best out of the talent he has. Either you motivate him and get him to perform or ship him off

Re: Membrey should have been subbed off, Not Hayes!

Hayes was awful Membrey contributed a lot more than Jack Hayes It's not Membrey's fault we lost the match and I doubt very much whether it would have made much difference whoever was subbed off. Hill had 1 disposal in the last quarter. 1 touch only for Liam Henry in the 3rd quarter and 1 touch only ...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks

Ugly football again. Just imagine if we'd won. There'd be people posting that a win is a win. Positives...etc

The really funny thing is that no matter what the result, Teflon would be still telling us it was great coaching.

Actually... it's not funny... it's tragic.

Genuine effort.

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks

Good finish to the quarter. Kicking improved. We won clearance in the last 10 minutes

Henry a bit rusty

I don't mind it if Hastie and Garcia make mistakes ... they're teenagers but Ross and Marshall ...33% disposal efficiency

It's up to our senior players to get us over the line
