Port knew very well what they were doing letting Howard and Bonner go and the Dogs letting Cordy go. Never going to be a challenger with duds like this. Play more youth and give us supporters some real hope with new talent and upside. These blokes are a liability to the team going forward. Membrey and Ross are done too.
Cordy won a premiership how do you explain that?
He's past it Curly. That was 2016 mate. 8 years ago. Clubs NEED to make tough decisions to improve. We gift games to players that don't deserve to be automatic inclusions week in, week out.
He has been pretty good as a back up tall. No team has good tall back up.
Curly, respectful and not having a go at you but we are only treading water playing him. I will say it again, they need to send some senior players to Sandy because we are nowhere near acontention stil with the list we have. It's vital that we try to unearth, new untapped talent.

Ok and play who?
Our injuries have restricted our selections
Would rather have seen Arie Schoenmaker out there by now given the injuries. Bonner's automatic selection is also mind-boggling. We still have too many dumb footballers in the side with average skills.
As I said, Port kept us in the game tonight.

Poor skills anywhere on the ground is poor football.
There is nothing to say free kicks should be even , it’s swings and roundabouts…..we gave away too many stupid ones by being second to the contest or just tackling too high … yes some maybe missed and next week we might be on the other side … we played some dumb football again
We've been playing with an undermanned team since round 3. He knows we'd be better with those injured players back in the team.
The midfield is killing us. It's putting pressure on both ends of the ground. Marshall is the only player who gets multiple clearances a game. Steele has been good for the most part, but Seb Ross is struggling most games.
Dow, Crouch, Clark, and Henry rotating through there will help enormously.
Most people underestimate the impact of having 8 or 9 players out every week.
Certainly was bizzare. The Garcia comment was very strange. Had no idea who was 25 and who was 10 apparently in the free kick count..yeah right.
Just my opinion and it stands out like a sore thumb of late but something just doesn't add up with him.
I wonder what the President thinks after that game, hopefully he doesn't go riding his steed, again, to AFL house complaining about the machinations of the draft. He can't blame 58 years of incompetence on the current draft shenanigans.

The only people that think he is the messiah
Hopeful supporters and dumbarse media
I keep telling you
The coach is not the answer!!!! It’s good to have a decent one
But give me good players over a good coach anyday
People just want to believe it is to give them hope when a coach is sacked!
What do you make of the lions and port of the past few years? Been blessed with ridiculous talent (particularly the lions) but consistently not been able to get the job done on the big stages largely due to incompetent match day coaches. Coach’s make a big difference.
Defensive, called Garcia a second or third year player and was basically rambling
I honestly don’t think he GAF
Oh come on re Garcia, it was a boo boo - it was a slip of the tongue - Lyon at that time was talking about the youth of the team and when he mentioned Garcia in that context he meant to say second or third game, not season. It was obvious to anyone listening, except some supporters hyper critical of Lyon, who want jump on and say a say a slip of the tongue in an interview, shows he’s got no idea & doesn’t as you would say GAF.
Here is me sticking up for Lyon & I’m not even a member of the Lyon fan club - far from it.

Have you not been paying attention.
Two years ago tonight's scenario would have been a 70 point shellacking.
The guys play for Ross. He proactively coaches.
Last week 10 goal drubbing. This week could have won in Adelaide v top 4 side. Same players as the week before.
Credit where due, eh.
Meanwhile, we're playing with one effective midfielder in Steele.
That’s half the tale then you to our more experienced players and look at their quality….
Cordy, Howard, Byrnes, Ross, Membrey , Stocker , Bonner ….tgese guys are either cooked or not good enough imho and wouldn’t get games at top sides.
It will take all of Lyons 4 years and then some luck with 2-3 more Wilson’s to turn this around

I’m very impressed Loris. I’ve never said that in 20 years here.
Firey and I have a seat on the RTB Fanclub Board …feel free anytime..
Oh…and you’re right.
So we are now 2 - 5 and we have played 6 games against top 9 sides on the current ladder and lost 4 of them by 1, 7, 8 & 10 and played 3 interstate matches with a huge injury list
Now we start to get some players back and the fixture becomes a little easier for us
So who is in .... and who is out? ....and I ain't talking about players
