Essendon, Richmond, Collingwood players seem to be bragging about how playing for those clubs provides unique experiences such as ANZAC day clash and Dreamtime at the G. I'd like to suggest to the AFL those games be played between teams in the top 4 at the end of the previous season and not limited ...

And with a fend like a Mohammed Ali jab.

Just goes to show you that perseverance in the face of diversity pays off....fortius quo fidelious. The point is he has had good years and bad years but when the stars alig and get a good coach that gells with the team the sky is the limit The word you're thinking of dimwit is adversity Do you need...

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...

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...

I would imagine that Brunswicksainter and Yorkeys want it changed to "In Ross we Trust" or "Ross completes me" or some such. No. Just something like: a lot but not all, want the Club to sack Ross. The majority still get their message across and the innocent are protected, or at ...

Hi skeptic, any chance of changing the title of this topic to something more respectful and in line with a supporters forum. Its a bit low rent, I think, and its popularity means its one of the first things a reader sees: like coming upon the latrines out back before seeing the big house. Couldn’t ...

...anyone questioning the club or the head coach is a Lyon hater.

More churlish.
Especially when no question is posed.
Bit vacuous?

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

These mystifying selections are not a good sign. Dropping Pou is not mystifying. Higgins in, not mystifying. Bigger bodied Seb v Petraccia/Oliver not mystifying. Stocker to replace Bonner or Paton, not mystifying. Byrnes on MCG not mystifying. All can be debated, but hardly mystifying. Crouch and C...

Is it my imagination or are most sides physically larger than our current best 22. Or are we unlucky with the chaos ball situations. Does our best 22 handball to space or to a predictable close and covered team mate. Freo seemed to generally out muscle us in the contested ball scraps and send quick ...

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...

Is that the same as the DCM notice I got?

Why, Brigadier? If I may ask.

Players are expected to be resilient, show composure. Fans can demand a new coach as soon as they don't have bragging rights, going gets tough. It's hypocritical, dumb, self indulgent short termism, but many supporters are like that. Not all, but. Same ones calling for a sacking 5 minutes into the j...

Then Bonner is officially bullet proof.

No love for Tim M?
Maybe if he can light it up in VFL. Maybe.
Spot for Hayes?

So Narm-Euro-Yuroke?

It's because a number of people hold a grudge against him and the opportunity to slag off has just emerged.
Commentators frame it as a discussion because of a vacuous need to have an uneducated opinion on everything and pad between adverts.But it's not a balanced informed commentary.

How about a warrior or fierce creature name/description to compliment the place name. And tell you what was great, the didgeridoo playing. If that could be a regular part of the players entering the field atmospherics, terrific. Imagine, if it is possible, few bars of Oh when the Saints on a didgeri...

Seems a smart player.
We seem a bit light on for footy smarts.
Hope he can mentor Dougal.

JB on Clarke hypothetical.
Could probably keep Clarke to just 2 or three goals.

With Lyon we be fly'n.

Well North don't need mids so we should get a beauty.
Also no Thursday or Friday matches and few Saturday evening games.
Unfortunately it also means a game at Mt Barker, about 8 interstate fixtures and no mercies from the MRO and umps. Character building.
