Re: Effing disgraceful.

Clark, Crouch, Jones, Membrey in next week. Should also give Allison and/or Hotton a chance too. No to Jones - he’s finished Seb Ross ought to also be in that boat Gotta go forward Crouch Clark Membrey Forward line pressure massive issue Did Butler play? Did Garcia back up last week efforts?

Re: Harley Reagles vs Saints

There were some excellent performances in the magoos again today. I was at the G, but the stats from our midfielders were very impressive against an excellent Casey side. I would suggest if they come in next week, the Eagles will face a very different St Kilda side than the one that took the field a...

Re: Ross Lyon Looks ahead to Narrm - Pressser

Loved Ratts I didn't have a problem with him, he had the same problem Lyon is having with regards to access to his first choice players. It's always been a really hard club to coach for one reason and one reason alone, lack of talent. It's perpetually frustrating that most of our fans don't get tha...

Re: Ross Lyon Looks ahead to Narrm - Pressser

If Lyon wasn't our coach, there is no way we play finals last year with the injuries we had for the first half of the season. No chance! A few weeks ago, we would have beaten by twice as much against the Dogs if he wasn't coaching. RTB can clearly coach, and I am certainly a lot more confident in o...

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade

Our preseason form was fine, but after one game we lost Crouch. He hasn't played since. Clark hasn't played at all. Two of our best midfielders have played 1 game out of a possible 22 between them. I think it's time we were all a bit more realistic. We will probably make it close tomorrow. If we can...

I don't think height is the be all and end all. Doesn't matter how tall you are if you can't mark the thing or get your hands on the pill!

BF for the dumb ones on here sacking the coach in yr2 ***** As has been mentioned before, I do see Ross being the Paul Roos at Melbourne-type figure to fix this club and put it on the right track. Is he the bloke who wins us a flag? Unlikely, in my opinion. However, whoever takes over will have the...

Re: Sack Lyon

I'm watching the Zebs on channel 7. Hunter Clark is in everything. Not only is he clean, but he directs traffic. He understands the game and he is a leader on the field Ross Lyon was criticising his midfielders last night. He deflects blame away from himself What the footy world must realise is tha...

I see supporters on social media potting coaches all the time. Where would the Dogs be without Beveridge? Where would the Cats be without Scott? Where would Port be without Hinckley?

Re: Time to sit back and relax

What happened last year - with the same list? Is Jack Steele the new Seb Ross?! Steele is clearly playing under duress. He is literally taking one for the team right now. When Clark and Crouch come back - hopefully next week, I imagine Steele will have to be managed. Rumour is his knee is hampering...

Re: Sack Lyon

Freo have an experienced and pretty good midfield. They also have a very decent backline. We are currently having to play 7 or 8 skinny kids every week and up to 10 players who have played less than 50 games, and in several cases, less than 10 games. An unjury list doesn't get fixed straight away, ...

Re: Time to sit back and relax

if you don't think ross is taking a long term view you don't know footy. or you're simply blind to your bias. all the game time given to kids that should be in the vfl is to fast track them. wins are secondary. old ross rarely gave kids an opportunity, because we were a contender. best 22 for the h...

Didn't turn up ready for the first quarter

I knew in my own mind tonight that if we kicked 2 or 3 goals in the first quarter and were behind even by a point at quarter time that we wouldn't win the game. And that was exactly what happened. I thought we might win before the game tonight, but I am struggling to see where we win our next match ...

I think 2 of them should not have been out there as it was like playing 2 players short all night. Lyon is one of, if not the main reason why we are still competitive. How are ...

Re: Cold Hard Facts

I think we've got a core of great youngsters and the only reason we're struggling is because of the injuries to important players that we have had all season, and still do, and those players trying to regain touch. We have also had four suspensions to key players, with one player still on the sideli...
