Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
Jack Stevens played 30 games before Ross showed his true colours and ran off to Freo for the cash. So if you claim he developed him he didn't develop Fyfe who already had 40 games before he arrived. Sean Darcy played 26 games only under Ross. You haven't really helped your own argument by showing h...

Re: Pick 3 in the draft
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. Give me Mt Barker over the Norwood Oval obl...

Re: “Innovate or perish: Why the numbers just don't stack up for Ross Lyon“
As someone who witnesses training twice a week I can assure you it’s not the game plan. The training drills and ball movement are fast, in some cases kamikaze speed. It is basically all out attack. But obviously the defensive part of those drills are less than frantic as injuries would happen all t...

Re: Ye old Cordy
Cordy is decent, a bit underrated. Might need to bring him in to the defence and move Howard or Battle forward.

Re: “Innovate or perish: Why the numbers just don't stack up for Ross Lyon“
The flaw in Connolly's argument is that when Lyon had as going as he wanted in 2009, we were No.1 in defence and 4th for offence, this slipped to 8th offensively in 2010 although we remained No.1 defensively. The thing Connolly neglects to mention is that we didn't have Riewoldt for 12 weeks in 2010...

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
It is not an either/or situation. We need to turn over the list because we lack talent certainly. However, players are going backwards under the new messiah's watch. I would challenge any member of the Ross cult to try to refute that. The way we play lack's any semblance of a coherent game plan for...

Re: Sack Lyon
But the players were ok last season?? Trouble is, no one was really saying that the players were ok last season. Many including me, always said we had issues with the midfield. I don't recall many saying we had a Top 4 List. Aside from Jack Steele (who is not elite), none of our midfielders are cur...

Re: Sack Lyon
I mean if you constantly fumble and drop marks any gameplan disintegrates, you can't score and cannot possibly win.
The fact that we are just losing and not getting smashed, might have something to do with our system, particularly defensively, being ok.

Re: Sack Lyon
There's one if two possibilities. 1) the game has passed Lyon and his game plan doesn't work anymore. Or (2) Lyon's game plan is good but our players are too stupid to be able to follow it. The answer is mainly no. 2 and that some of our players simply aren't good enough. Our game against Collingwo...

Put a fork in him, hes done. Taken a middle team and turned them into a bottom 4 side that cant score.

It isn't actually his Player Manager, it was his Endorsements Manager. He has 2 managers who fulfill different functions. This is not the Manager who negotiated his contract.

Re: RTB's Presser
The problem Lyon has - and I’m a fan is he’s wrong to say “it’s a quick fix” That’s nice to say but not true He doesn’t have players with the smarts in decision making to go fast He doesn’t have the players who are “clean” one touch ball users - ours fumble, drop chest marks, overrun the ball or si...
