Just another thought …. I don’t think it’s up to Mattaes Phillipou to determine where he plays. He was of value to the team when he played as a forward. I reckon we should play him as a forward. Maybe in 2 years time when he shows he’s winning ground balls and can stick tackles, he can move into the...

Instead of looking to improve our player development and instead of looking towards our coaches to get the best out of the existing talent we have, we are once again (under current regime) looking to blame the players If the footy journos (including Montagna) want to continuously blame our woes on t...

I had a cheeky little smile when Nicholls gifted Freo the goal

Was lovely watching them whittle away Collingwood's 25 points lead

Hope you're right

I believe the rule is you must hand direct to umpire or place the ball on the ground, but that's for boundary stoppages. Correct The commentators initially thought it was a free paid for time wasting, but the fact that Nicholls had blown time on, meant it wasn't in that category. Conveniently they ...

Of course it's the rule (not handing it to another player) but it wasn't written in the rule book to specifically prevent this situation. If Sullivan put the ball on the ground and didn't hand it straight back to Nicholls he would NOT have been penalised. Nicholls didn't have to bend down. Nicholls ...

Obviously mismanaged last week (and after R10 last season!) Firstly well done on having the courage to criticise. You had people defending the coach for playing Pou when the obvious was happening right before our eyes. Poor performance and a lack of selection integrity. We’re all supporters of St K...

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...

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...

Anyhoo…stuff ‘em. They get get a good run most weeks, so suck sh!t Collingwood

Matty Nicholls is a vindictive prick. I think it was late in the 3rd quarter or maybe early in the last, that Steele Sidebottom was at the bottom of a pack and Nicholls was the presiding ump. Umpire blows whistle and as Steele gets up, Nicholls is calling for the footy. He called out Steele’s name t...

I just watched channel 9 news sports report and they showed footage of Saints training session Looked look the local suburban footy club warm up. Zero intensity. Zero commitment to excellence Just want to check. Is the anti Ross narrative from you that 1. He doesn't drive standards 2. He smothers p...

Ross wanted to walk off after 2 and a half minutes. He seemed surprised/annoyed that the journos kept asking questions

Another pearler from the Pav. Looking forward to the next one ….

The other observation is that Richmond are in the same position we have been at this season and leading into last week - so a very weak VFL side with only a handful of AFL Listed players Performance may have been considered on that basis - so knock the door down by performing consistently Jack Byte...

They know what they're doing. It's all part of the development plan ...anyone questioning the club or the head coach is a Lyon hater. Only some Scollop, only some.... It really depends on the issue that arouses critical discussion. Likewise there are those like myself who support the choice the clu...

Getting the picks is only 1 part of rebuilding Getting the selection right is part 2 Developing them correctly is part 4 Having the right leadership and culture around them - part 4 We got it very right in 2000-2002 GT should take a lot of credit for that We got it very wrong 2012-2014 Elshaug and ...
