Re: Ross Lyon a huge get

A comment by a Fremantle supporter after 2018: "The Dockers play some of ugliest, least attacking, most shutdown football in the competition, although that in itself isn’t a bad thing, the plan they’re running with just isn’t working. Fremantle aren’t attacking focused and it’s killing them as ...

Re: Is Max getting nervous about the arrival of Ross? ☎️

If Ross sticks with his ultra defensive style of football, I can understand why Max may feel pretty nervous.

Re: POLL Y or N- happy for Ross to be our guy again?

In his last 4 years with Fremantle they finished 16, 14, 14 and 13. It seemed that his successful days were over.

I really think we have made a mistake but I will support the club as I have for 57 years.

Re: What does Gallagher interview really tell us

Nice post. I think that this should be a trading/draft period where we take it easy. Best available at all early draft picks. Couple of more mature key position players at later picks. We need to hope Clark and Coffield can have a good run at it next year and see what they can do. We should expect i...

In terms of where our List is and what is required from the avenues open to St Kilda to improve the List, it is interesting to note that from the 2020 side which won a final v the WB, we are now missing Carlisle, Ryder and Hannebery.
