More Lyon bashing

[felix]

I was listening to Lyons post match conference Freo vs Richmond , a journo asked him about what the pre season means, he said "WE lost to essonden by 80 points in the nab cup then WE went on to win 20 games straight you work it out "
WE , he's not WE anymore .How dare he say WE, He should have said I or stkilda . He has to let go . Absolute disgrace.

Okay.

[felix]

Just a rant

[mr six o'clock]

and then we lost to essendon !
what was his point?

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Is it accurate, more to the point? if he's referring to the 2009 season (in which we won 19 consecutive home-and-away games), I could be wrong but I think our pre-season went like this: Brisbane, small loss; Bulldogs, win; Richmond, win; Port Adelaide, nine-goal loss.

.i agree.

.it's time to let go woss.

OP was incorrect. Ross did say Port not Essendon and he did say 2009.

It took Ro$$y a fair while to start refering to St Kilda as 'we'. Wonder if it will take him a similar amount of time to stop...?

Personally, I quite like it that he is still refering to St Kilda as 'we'. Could be indicative of a deep down gnawing thought that maybe he made a mistake leaving the club that gave him the chance to make his name... and now he is having to dress in purple?

A Freudian slip maybe???

[hungry for a premiership]

I just watched the press conference in question and I have no doubt that Ross Lyon has a love of StK.F.C deep in his heart that he will always cherish. He may not entirely regret leaving, he made his decision and he stands by it, but you just know that he's seeing what's going on at St.Kilda now and he's wondering, "what if?" What if he'd "stayed for the long haul," ala Mick Malthouse at Collingwood, and rebuilt this list with the new resources at the club to finally bring home the bacon further down the track? Wouldn't that really be something extremely special?

RL put absolutely everything he had into his time at St.Kilda, and he came up so unfairly and so very very unluckily short. Just two very small strokes of luck in two infintismal moments at the death throws of two marathon seasons where he had dragged us to the summit of the mountain, and we'd be sitting here right now with 3 premierships. The way he coached us up into the top four then to the clear standout team and kept us up there was outstanding. He tried his guts out, and you can't put your heart and soul into something for 5 years and achieve so much and not have a soft spot for that place for the rest of your life. IMO.

After his career is over, he should be welcome back to StK.F.C for his solid contribution to it's history.

Of course he will be, I don't doubt the club is at a place where this is sure to be the case.

[SaintPav]

If the players and club have moved from all of this then why can't some supporters? It's very very amusing and sad.

Agree.

Why can't we post Ross stuff in the opposition forum or at least have one merged Lyon thread on the main board? Over the Lyon SPAM.

[SainterK]

I think he a nice person, I admire him for his strength through some pretty difficult times.

He appears to put family high on his priority list, who can fault that.

I hope one day he elaborates on this shocking thing that caused him to be emotionally out, because until he does, he appears to have muddied up a little what appeared to be strong life principles.

It's a strange position, I almost want him to be justified in leaving, because up until that point I liked the guy. However in being justified, the club must of done something terrible.

Hear hear!! I second the motion...After all; even a prick of a man like Carey was welcomed back to the Kangas

[Wrote for Luck]

Despite Lyon's tremendous efforts with us, I can't help but view Lyon as a bit of a twit now. Think he did himself untold damage by leaving St Kilda. He's no doubt a little uneasy at just how easily we've moved on. I hope he has a terrible season.

He's probably preoccupied with coaching Freamantle and I'd say he doesn't give a stuff just like the Saints.

[satchmo]

He's an opposition coach. Couldn't give a f*** what he says or thinks.

Why is everyone so fascinated with Ross Lyon?
