Thanks Ross and all the best

LENNY LEADS THE WAY · Thu 13 Oct 2011 8:53pm

I would like to send out a genuine thank you to Ross Lyon.

Ross has copped alot of criticism and maybe he deserves it but as a saints supporter who has witnessed alot of hard times i thank you Ross for getting us into 2 consecutive grand finals.

2009 was ever so close and will always burn in my heart as the 1 that got away yes Ross was defensive yes Ross didn't play the kids but to reach consecutive grand finals he must of known a little about what he was doing.

Yes i hated the chip chip chip boring footy and i am so excited for 2012 and the new coach and hopefully some attacking flair but i will not bag Ross for what he did for our club.

Thank you Ross you was ever so close and all the best.

Bring on 2012 and the new boss

I will thank him once 2011 is underway with a new coach, some exciting attacking players and we win playing a better brand.

But now he's a turd.

The closer we are to getting someone new, the closer I am to not wanting to spew when I hear his name. I am glad he got what he did from us but i am really seeing it as having run it's course now. I still hope he suffers from some kind of hideous disfigurement from the stress that he is under though. Please let freo finish lower on the ladder.

Nope, not so gracious. Cannot wait to see him fail. He has not an ounce of integrity or feeling. I pity his wife.
Get stuffed Lyon. You are a dog.

Btw , I am bitter about the 2 lost years of 07 and 08 when our list was good but he was determined to turn our wonderful attacking style into his dour defensive crap. Granted, 2009 we were very good but maybe he cost us premierships rather than almost getting us one. Thats how I see it now.

Who's this Ross bloke you're all talking about?

SainterK · Post: # 1161623Post **SainterK** » Thu 13 Oct 2011 10:02pm

Now now.

Those closest to him know his true character.

Hi Paul

Bernard Shakey · Thu 13 Oct 2011 11:30pm

Thanks Ross, you gave me three Grand Finals that I wouldn't have been at but for your innovative game plan. It was ugly, but it was necessary.
Unfortunately you had no plan B, which Freo will find out very quickly.

Thank you Ross for taking your stupid walk to Fremantle. Incidentally, I thnk it will look good with purple.

BigMart · Post: # 1161721Post **BigMart** » Thu 13 Oct 2011 11:57pm

Is this for real....urine extraction surely???

I hope he fails dismally at Freo...

Thanks for coaching us well......NO all the best though...infact, all the worst IMO

Teflon · Post: # 1161725Post **Teflon** » Fri 14 Oct 2011 12:07am

No time for Lyon - he almost got us Ayres.

But that aside, the man did coach well.

Develop? - whats that?

When Freo draft their first mature age spud Im going straight over to their BF Board to ask how much they payin rosco again..

Enrico_Misso · Fri 14 Oct 2011 12:20am

Ross

You had no Plan B as a coach.
And no Plan B as an investor.

Invested everything on spinning the wheel.
But in the end the numbers didn't drop for you.

So you've snuck off purely to seek money.
Your integrity and reputation is in tatters.

I'm looking forward to the day Freo sack you.
(Though I'm sure you'll make them pay you out!)

Yes the ride was fun.
But Good Riddance to you.

The bloke was a dud and our players and the assistant coaches and Saints footy department made him look good...Our team had great talent and he simply couldn't inspire and lead them to greatness...

But stuff it, I'll reserve my final judgement for a few years...lets just wait and see if he can prove himself..or if he just fades into obscurity like so many other duds before him

FFS Ross was a very good coach. He wasnt a dud coach. Amazing how peoples opinions change of someone so quickly. Stop being so bias and realise we lost a very good coach that took us so close to the ultimate.

Thanks Ross and all the best
