The disappointment in this year isn't the losses (although they hurt), it's that we are playing periods of really poor footy. I would expect any Lyon coached side to be 'on' every quarter. We need to be. Lack of consistency is common in young sides, but we are a rollercoaster. I can't fault effort ...

Really, why thank you Teflon Your approval means so much to me! Just because a post suits your agenda doesn’t make it good… and conversely if a post is contrary to your opinion doesn’t make it bad! I’ll add some spice I don’t think Ross will be coach when we contend. It’ll be the first year of a ne...

You’ve got friends tonight, Curly! That umpiring was utterly disgraceful. Cop the fine and call it out, Saints! Absolutely Would just ONCE stand up and say this isn’t good enough FFS we’ve become a soft target for these maggotts Even Pies game imho WE were the beneficiaries that night but it’s just...

Is the new ‘year of exploration’ So we are trying to win games and get games into kids at the same time - to build a premiership list Injuries could be a blessing in disguise Maybe this year, dropping down and getting a pick 5-8 won’t be the worst thing? Combined with a pick 23-28. And maybe tradin...

I’ll take 6 6 after round 12, if we’re lucky. Hopefully we can reset after the bye in round 19 or whenever that is. Thank you, AFL. That would mean we’d win 4 of our next 5. If we do that we’re a lock for finals I would’ve thought. Here’s the REAL question….one I’ve asked last year… Is that REALLY ...

Who from the older core Is not getting a game? Zak Jones - Ross doesn’t rate him Any others? Is he playing kids over older players? I don’t thinks so, or he would’ve played Schoenmaker instead of an underdone Howard - who was atrocious Once again…Martin reads a post and only what HE wants to read a...

The losses by small margins masks the issues - we struggle to score I like Harvey but don’t think he’s a forward coach I watched fumbles, overrun the ball, dropped chest marks last night….thats not game plan Seb Ross 9 possessions at HT ….thats not game plan Smashed in tackles ….not game plan Hill ...

A pretty unbalanced article that doesn’t go anywhere near our injury challenges - true, many sides have them, but I’d argue a Carlton cover their gaps a lot easier than us. It’s interesting- Lyons team burst out of the blocks last year and we’re being lauded for fast, attacking footy with many sayin...

The AFL is F######. I love my football however increasingly getting so disillusioned by the game i.e umpiring rule changes and Gestapo running the game. How good were the good old days. AFL clearly have it in their sights which teams they want in finals. 28-8 free kicks last night absolute joke. Ca...

Agreed 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 mea...

I think he’s sick of saying the sane thing
The whole world knows we have no midfield and and no elite talent in there ….yet ask same questions

Hastie 18 Garcia 18 Wilson 18 Phillipou 19 Owens 20 Windhager 20 Caminiti 20 Wanganeen-Milera 21 That's 35% of the team tonight Port had maybe one player in that bracket Meanwhile, we're playing with one effective midfielder in Steele. That’s half the tale then you to our more experienced players a...

Full Time ..frees 21 to 8 Eff me. We were second to the ball all night. No surprises there. We were but let’s not let those pathetic excuses for umpires off when it mattered… Dogs constantly caught with ball … Dogs throwing the ball???? Saints forwards had no back apparently it was ok to charge int...

That's without doubt the worst performance we've offered in over 15 years. There were way worse games under Ratten, Richo and Watters in that time. Lyon’s second worst losing margin though (60 points vs 61) Yep Ole Vort /Caurnsman posting the exact same cut n paste dribble on BF I can recall a 111 ...

I would have been doing the opposite to trading King I’d add more King I said 4 years ago Max and Ben - twin towers - one at chf (Max) away from the goals and one at FF (who leads well and is a dead eye (Ben) You need a point of difference to win a premiership 2 x 202cm key forwards with speed and ...

Multiple routes to goal. What a novel idea It’s amazing how often clubs become over reliant on one man as the main target. Makes you predictable and easy to counter. It needs constant vigilance. I agree Think it takes pressure off King too - we need to get to a stage where his success in a game is ...

Sharman isn’t ordinary he’s just being asked to be an everywhere man atm and that’s a tough gig
Let him settle as a forward and he’ll do fine

Does Garcia take Butler spot?
Become that hard small pressure forward who can also in future spend bursts through the midfield??
He’s got that aggression you need and yesterday Giants walked it out of our F50 with ease….

Nothing like an over reaction. Glad some are not on match committee or head of football 74 games and Ave just under 2 goals per game in a team which has made finals once in previous 4 season. Give it some context: Tom Hawkins first 60 games averaged 1.3 goals per game Jack Riewoldt first 68 games a...

Doesn’t need to be traded Needs a rocket His effort and body language is unacceptable He was getting flogged by Taylor for 10 minutes Then lucky for him Taylor was subbed out, instead of stepping up and taking advantage of that he was limp as an old lettuce leaf Don’t care about goals - just effort...

A trend now???
He was great against Pies…
1 game coach said we made it hard for our talls and it’s a M King trend??
Bizarre

I hope it’s a knock nothing more n he plays next week
Hands down our best forward

No.

I don’t think so …bizarre
Let’s get the pitch forks go get King…”in case” we get another Plugger type deal….
Batshyte crazy stuff …

When Plugger left, 3 years later we made a grand final. Just saying. No flags tho Just sayin Swans got some though.. How many did they get with Plugger? My point is that if he left for the right price, it’s not the end of the world and could work in our favour. My inclination is to keep him at this...
