Everyone is still entitled to an opinion...disagreeing with you doesnt HAVE to mean that you need a lifeSainternist wrote:Are there still any of you around?
If so, GET REAL!!!
This guy is possibly one of the biggest drama queens to coach an AFL club.
I have now lost every ounce of respect I had remaining for him.
If wish nothing for this guy, except some very, very hefty legal fees after hearing about his efforts.
"NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!"

Does this mean that I "sympathise" with GT? I have never met the man and have mixed feelings about what I have seen of his personaility as it has come across in the media: especially lately, when I think he has made some ill-judged public comments. But this hasn't materially altered my views that the decision of September last year was a major mistake.
Has he been undermining the club behind the scenes? We really only have the words of Rod Butterss, Archie Fraser and Caroline Wilson to back this claim. Sorry, but I don't see any of them as being particularly reliable sources. So my views on his sacking haven't changed.
As regards GT's various legal actions against Butterss and the Club: I don't feel that I have learned enough from the media coverage to have a firm view as to the rights and wrongs of these. I am surprised at how many on this forum seem to jump so quickly to an anti-GT conclusion on the basis of incomplete evidence.
I'm with you on this, too, mb. a very poor decision that has probably cost us a crack at the flag this season.meher baba wrote:I continue to believe strongly that the decision to sack GT last year was misguided and totally wrong.
I find myself agreeing with most things you say lately, Ev... well said.evertonfc wrote:It's funny, because the people who don't like him are the ones who are obsessed about him the most, and continually bring him it up...almost like he still works at the club.
I'm also noting that there's a lot of people who say "I backed GT 100%, and whilst also I'm behind Lyon, I don't see why you can't be positive about them both."
A good attitude, I reckon. Being pro one of them shouldn't have to mean being anti the other.

I heard he ordered Gehrig to kick 100 goals in 2004 before the season had even started, so that if we made a Preliminary Final, fans would run on and sabotage the game, and our chances of a flag.St.Kenny wrote:GT is a very naughty boy because infact he stopped us gettin to the finals !!
So I'm getting put through "the mincer" for voicing my opinion about that pr*ck am I?evertonfc wrote:Sainternist, I'm happy to kill the thread before they put you through the mincer...although too big a part of me agrees with them to do that.

Correct Sainternist.........but let them bleat on.....WHEN Lyon delivers success...simply remember who THEY are.......Sainternist wrote:So I'm getting put through "the mincer" for voicing my opinion about that pr*ck am I?evertonfc wrote:Sainternist, I'm happy to kill the thread before they put you through the mincer...although too big a part of me agrees with them to do that.

So be it... I couldn't care less about mob mentality on an internet forum.
If I was complete nerd, perhaps then I'd would be shaking in my boots over the prospect facing the wrath of the forum.
Step right up, folks...
Take your best cyber swing
p.s. quite untrue about the GT haters always bringing him up. There were times throughout the season when the GT sympathisers were acting like saps "If only GT was still here... boo hoo wah wah".
You better add the man himself and his own ego to your list.firthy wrote:Was the best thing that happened to our club for many years -- we re- discovered our winning culture that had been lost for a long long time -- correct discipline re- appeared -- we made the finals three years in a row , even though we had a stack of injuries -- it was obvious the players enjoyed playing with him as coach -- but unfortunately the old St Kilda returned and people in control with egos to stoke who don't actually care about our beloved club moved him on. They are still there ,so beware Ross Lyon beware . I believe Lyon will move elsewhere as quick as he can and who would blame him.
...Grant would NEVER have coached an AFL club.
