Ross Lyon is a stubborn prick. Not the first time Bonner has made monumental stuffups from there. Sincs or NWM or Hill himself need to be kicking out Hilly, I need you to be delivering inside 50. Hilly, I want you running past the guys to receive. Hilly, I need you to make space to get the 30m kick ...

Clark wearing number 14

Jarryn Geary’s old number

We all know players can have bad weeks. I’m not a huge fan of Seb Ross, but he’s an experienced midfielder and he rarely plays 2 really poor games in a row When we lost to Hawthorn, everyone knew there’d have to be some changes to the team…but Lyon decided to have 3 of his more experienced players ‘...

Jack Steele might be carrying a niggle. Didn't he have a crook knee a few weeks ago? I really don't know what's going on because I'm not on the inside, but he looks dispirited at times. Craig McCrae played Jordan De Goey exclusively in the forward line as he's coming back from a sore groin. Why does...

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 that...

Would the coterie groups and members and sponsors have enough patience to ride out the next 2 and half years of his current contract while we bottom out? I can probably answer that myself. I think if the club came out and was honest with the supporter base (instead of the dual natrative) then these ...

Devils Advocate again Maybe we win 2-3 more games for the year. Worst case scenario sees us finish 16th. More probable is 15th. Yes...that gets us pick 4 or pick 5...but Instead of the talk about who St Kilda might bring in, could our poor performances herald an exodus of our best players? Suppose 3...

After the Hawks game and the game last night, good luck convincing prospective Free Agents to come and play under Ross Lyon

Ive refrained from calling Max a bust...however his gutless, passionless effort tonight was insipid. But who cares? We cant drop him! We'd never survive without his 3 marks & 1 behind. He'll have a meeting with Ross and he'll say it wasn't fair that Caminiti was targeted as a KP Forward. "...

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, ...

More shite in the RTB presser. https://www.afl.com.au/video/1133254/full-post-match-r10-saints?videoId=1133254&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1716037077001 Yeah, more mumbo jumbo, if he was genuine he would sincerely apologise to all the supporters and sponsors etc for his stuff ups....

Put a fork in him, hes done. Taken a middle team and turned them into a bottom 4 side that cant score. For reference Geelong without a bunch of their best players go to Darwin, get flogged by 60+ points and still manage to kick 100 themselves. At least their supporters have some goals to cheer. We ...

Ratten said the same and St.Kilda Board didnt like it, so they sacked him.

If Ross Lyon wasn't available they wouldn't have sacked Ratten.

Apparently Ross is going to take us to our next Grand Final

I would have preferred Jones in ahead of Paton tonight It's illogical to be making him the sub. I thought Paton or Pou should have been sub Jones was in ripping from in the VFL. Use that momentum and confidence he had and start him on the ground. Copper Sharman was in ripping form in the VFL. It's ...

The development isn't going to be a linear graph pointing upwards...we all realise that

We have young players so we understand there will be inconsistent form from some

What we are getting right now, is consistent low scoring. Consistent ugly and boring football

That has to change

We're stuffed Laughing stock I'm not contributing to this thread because I agree with the title. I don't want Lyon sacked...but ffs!! We just need to try and play with a little freedom and release the shackles. No more tagging. No more restrict, defend, kill the footy. Let's aim to be a team who ki...

Teflon thought yesterday that we'd win tonight

He'll be responding to all the negative threads telling us that Ross is doing a great job and all is positive

He'll be spinning it into ...helps the club get better draft picks

I’m not talking about his ability The idea of him playing at HF - beyond a joke Puts someone in the forward line who you want there to NOT kick goals. I mean...he's not specifically telling him to do that, but he's not a goal scorer...is he? Classic Ross Lyon move What's changed since he was our co...

It's not just the low scoring every week It's the rubbish excuses we hear ... it's the sycophants telling us about his great understanding of the game...etc I think he's struggling to coach in the modern game. Has he worked out how our runners should be used? Has we worked out how our best players c...

The Lyon cultists will tell you it's Robert Harvey's fault Paton should not be in this team right now. We need the younger guys like Hastie and Garcia getting games...or Clark should have been in Same thing last week against Hawthorn. Never should have been picked. I liked his development and progre...

You're the funniest bloke in the world

Thanks for the laugh

This is Saints footy

Ross Lyon style

Great effort from Mattaes late in the game and unlucky not to have been paid that mark...but game was all but lost by then. He had 2 possessions up until that stage Out of Cooper Sharman and Mattaes Phillipou...who would you say has better form? Who has better touch? Obviously it's Cooper. Why take ...

Team looks switched on

Midfield is competing well

Dow doing well

That desperation to spoil by Webster was also an inspiration.
