Good thread I thought last year the difference was exposed by GWS in that final I walked away knowing we were a long way off it and knowing we’d had a decent draw I thought this year (like when Lyon took over last time) could be a step back k to go forward- especially playing kids The club have been...

Lost the game - poor system

Poor system? Were you watching the game? You fumble and slip as much as we did and any system will fail.

Funny guy huh?
1.6 from 16 entries q3 ….poor system …

That’s all that matters
Enough for senior call up????

I’d keep Hayes with King bring Sharman in drop Membrey

nah, entries were the problem today. king looked ok. not great, but ok. The King hysteria by the uninformed is laughable- least of our issues As coach said - symptomatic of other upfield garbage going on Put King into Dogs next to Ugle Hagen , Naughton watch him star At Saints he has to kick bags e...

Didn’t he have 2 All Australian players and an AA squad ruckman in the midfield yesterday?! 😂 is that best u got?? He had an AA HBF he’s desperately had to put in the middle cause he has no one ..so midfield all fixed ? Brain dead No hope I will desist from responding further as it denigrates the f...

The problem Lyon has - and I’m a fan is he’s wrong to say “it’s a quick fix” That’s nice to say but not true He doesn’t have players with the smarts in decision making to go fast He doesn’t have the players who are “clean” one touch ball users - ours fumble, drop chest marks, overrun the ball or si...

And you say now it’s the players fault when with pretty much the same list it was Rattens fault We have a 9-12 list I Dont believe in the messiah complex and that the coach is the panacea of all performance and results like you think (although now you’ve changed your tune!) So I enjoy letting you k...

…but we still have some incredibly poorly skilled, dumb decision making footballers getting a game who can’t produce under pressure that’s the bottom line… This ^ is the issue. And unfortunately some these players are our better players imo who get a lot of it. I’m not sure of our team rules, but f...

The same people sucking from the RL teets are the ones who argued the Chris Pelchen was doing the right thing with his ‘spreadsheet’ in 2012 They want a messiah to believe in The same morons telling us coaches are overrated during Ratten years are now telling us it’s ALL coaching Mindless batshyte

That’s not what Basset thinks, Beg to differ. Listen to the press conference held by Bassett to announce Ross had been signed as coach. Also Read his letter to members from a few weeks ago. Ross was given a mandate to rebuild. It's just been sold to us as a restumping, or rewiring, or restoration o...

I remember well the time around the club when Lyon left years back- it was common knowledge that he wasn't interested in rebuilding teams. The Lyon I used to notice at training back then looks and sounds a lot different than the one I've seen at training now. Back then he was clearly driven and who...

Let’s not let the truth get in the way of a good story Here’s some truth for you armchair I counted 8 clearances between Marshall and Steele from a stoppage where they turned and kicked the ball directly forward. The ball went low and somewhere between 15 - 30 metres in a straight line towards the ...

Match thread discussion Tip out Bonner - bring in Henry :shock: :oops: Yep good one Bonner 30 disp 81% TOG 87% DE Henry 4 disp 82% TOG I’d take Henry over Bonner anyway Anyone with half a brain knows that Bonner under pressure crumbles We saw that against ESS ….17 clangers ??? Highest by a player s...

Bonner was our scapegoat for the loss against Essendon. I suppose we had to blame someone He actually got a fair amount of footy and his work rate was there, but a few howlers were unforgivable I watched that Essendon match on replay and it wasn’t the worst game I’ve ever seen from a Saints player....

It is not an either/or position. We lack high-end talent, and skills across the board are substandard. However, that does not mean that the coaching is not also to blame. We have a coach who is completely opposed to attacking, he does not try to win the game. Ross coach's to breakdown the oppositio...

People whingeing we kicked 7 goals are simpletons We kicked 1.5 in Q3 from 16 entries you turkeys ….we kick 6 and that score line looks a whole lot different!! To suggest we are kicking low scores because Lyons game plan is forcing them too is sheer stupidity We HAD chances We **** em!! How hard is ...

Whether the game plan is right or wrong doesn’t explain dropped marks, fumbles, missed tackles, mis-kicks, poor accuracy. Too many players not up to it. Thank you This “game plan is crap” is just a puff piece for weak minded apologists letting sone of their “heroes” off the hook So so many fumbles ...

I am a Ross Lyon fan. The best coach to coach St Kilda in my memory. That said, he needs to own how we are playing in terms of attacking and hitting the scoreboard. Put the acid on a insipid midfield and dysfunctional forward half. Those are factors he can identify as requiring improvement, he simp...

The fumbling from the start of the game was an indication how things were going to turn out. A lack of assertiveness was there for all to see. That's the killer. We did not look like we had any intention of imposing ourselves in the game. No aggression towards our opponents, no confident attack on ...
