Together?

Surely Matteus has an extended spell in the VFL, confidence is shot.

Yep.
Probably take a few to get the right kick to ball ratio working.
But cream rises.

Of course it's not Ross' job to develop apprentice or specialist coaches, is it.
And by the way, be cautious of cause and effect linkages. E.G. do great teams inherently contain chaps that are natural coaches and pursue or .......
Will Fly be credited if Pendlebury becomes a good coach.

Blah, urr son I said blah, you listening son...

And now more on that cat up a tree....we go live....

Pseudo profound.
The team that goes top this year is closer.

The alleged offer to often injured and no longer relatively young Weitering is a serious signal to Dougs. I imagine he is trying hard right now and feeling unloved. Although we are supposed to love all our deck chairs equally.

We deserve criticism Don’t sook it up when it comes Fair enough. Doesn't change fact Lloyd was a gutless sniper and will always be one. Surely his head is on TV because it's photogenic not for what comes out of his bobble head clown gob. Pretty relief for craggy anorexic marathon man Cornsey. Port ...

Gawn is a freak.
Melbourne are fortunate to have him. Much poorer team without him.
He would have his own category. AA isn't high enough.

Salem is a place famous for concocted false claims against innocents. Great injustices were done by people taking advantage of tough times and feelings of insecurity but really just being opportunistic. A preacher was prominent in driving the injustices. No good came from the witch hunts.

Isn't this ensemble another governance mechanism linking playing group to the other organisational groups? As far, which is little, as I know there are no extra payments to group members and selection is a bit of a beauty contest, except the captain and vices need to be in. So while the players migh...

Wilson into the midfield mix next season. Forget Bonner. Put JS back where he shines. Stocker to do more bullocking in the middle. Pray Hayes comes good. Or whatever the Euro-Euroke people practised. Settle Henry, Higgins, Dow and Max in a side for a number of weeks. If a player consistently misses ...

I'd suggest we are the Zeta in a field of muscle cars. Beautiful design but a washing machine motor as an engine. Would not matter who is driving, in the back or the front it's not going to win a burn off at the lights. Can go forward or reverse at the turn of the key. Really need to change that tin...

Another hypothetical: what if there was a holding the ball free rule in AFL? and what if AFL ops staff couldn't just change the traditional rules without an open process. At least not monthly.

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.

...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...
