Re: Players Ross will love
I think he will love Butler, his forward pressure will be very highly regarded. His new Andrew Mcqualter. Higgins, on the other hand will need to do more

McQualter was an honest toiler, but quite one-dimensional.
Until we have an administration that demands success and a playing group that bleeds for the guernsey, St. Kilda will just be a sh*tty football club.

Re: Players Ross will love
Ross Lyon is basically like a testosterone injection for the team.
Watch the boys become men under Ross.
Will be great for Max and his brother when he comes to us in 2024

Re: Players Ross will love
Pity that Ben Long moved on. He is one player that would have grown under Lyon. He could see that the club wasn't getting anywhere and there were few chances/changes that would give him more games, so he looked elsewhere. Then 'POW" the earth moves on its axis and Lyon is at the helm.

His favs were - in no particular order
Hayes, Reiwoldt
Pavlich, Fyfe
Current team it’ll be
King, Steele

Re: Players Ross will love
I appreciate that Windhager has played and will play more games as a midfield tagger. I hope Lyon identifies the moment to let him become his own midfielder.
If we land MacKenzie (which we should), then the future of our midfield is looking quite strong with Owens and NWM. A bonus would be Bytel announcing himself as best 22.

Re: Players Ross will love
Ross is on the record as to how he couldn't understand why Hill wasn't playing on the wing given that's what we recruited him for. Hill played his best under Ross on the wing so I'd say that he'd be more relieved than nervous.
A few of Ross' favourite's IMO: Dougs, Hill, Windy, Jones, and D-Mac

Re: Players Ross will love
I think Ross will will love D-Mac.
A player who gives 100%, 100% of the time.
I also think D-Mac will flourish under Ross too

Re: Players Ross will love
Players Ross will love =
1) New team leaders - (we desperately need 'em) , they will emerge*, they may not even know it about themselves yet.
2) Alsorans that make a pledge to fill a roll
*caveat
If Ross the Boss changes into a marshmallow of consensus and outsources to sub-committees, all bets are off.

Windy got over 20 touches (exact number I can't recall)
and the champ Neale got under 16?
A tagger doesn't normally get a lot of ball but restricts the tagee

They say as a stkilda player you are born twice. First as a baby, then as a player under Ross Lyon.
Some wills are going to be tested.
Ok kill the boy it is! Kill the boy John Snow! And let the man be born

I think Billings, Clark and Seb are the players who have never pushed themselves hard to be elite and need a Ross rocket

Re: Players Ross will love
Here’s one from left field. I think big Tom Campbell will thrive given the way he gives 100% and throws his body around. He will play his role. It’ll also allow Lyon to play two big talls in the forward line (King and resting ruck). I would play Battle as the third tall and Membrey as the 4th tall but with a licence to move up and down the wing.
