I am one very happy supporter while the rest of you guys get very analytical about the game which I love to read Im just enjoying watching how the team is unfolding I believe we are Geelong of 2007 just going about our business quietly.

But what impressed me most about Saturdays win was the small little bit of emotion Ross Lyon showed at the end of the game as he walked pass the social club area all the supporters were clapping and cheering good on you Rossy,Ross gave a wink and a slight smile.
At long last I think he felt part of our club and I feel he loves the Saints.

Showing this tiny bit of emotion ended the day perfectly.

Thanks Ross!GO SAINTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I agree, I am just going to enjoy each week as it happens. I can see a real change in the team, something I havn't seen before. As for Ross, he talks differently about us now, I agree, I think he nows feels part of the club.

That's my season plan too, Saint Bev.

I can't wait for my annual pilgrimage to The Dome. I'm thinking Round 9 against the Brions.

I disagree entirely.

Ross Lyon has been part of our club since the moment he was appointed coach.

He - like ALL AFL coaches are professionals and I believe do not get emotionally involved like lifelong supporters.

I actually think it is insulting to Ross Lyon to suggest he hasn't been part of the club and only is because he gave the SC a wave after a win.

I think it is a silly assertion and the type of thinking that holds back a club.

If Lyon came out and won us a flag and then said he didn't have any particular emotions toward the club would anybody give a flying fig???

Sorry but I really think this is a totally wrong assumption and belittles the coach.

We're talking about footy and footy followers, j.b.... stop trying to be rational.

I think the point being made is that RL seems to be developing an emotional attachment to our club.. I'd be more surprised if that wasn't the case.

I think that it has been publish before that he had a sit down with his wife and she told him to just be himself. Since then he has been more media friendly,

What I saw as he passed us on saturday was a coach enjoying his job and proud of the team and club
