I swear SainterK's signature is magic or SainterK is the reincarnated Nostradamus. found it a bit but his disposal especially by foot is poor and a concern....................holds him back a bit. That is expected and you'll even see Nicky Dal and BJ make errors - so what. As long as he contributes...

He's fun to watch the way he barrels in head first. Good game for 3 quarters tonight and looked the player who led the midfield against the Hawks in Tassie a few years ago. Both Armo and Steven looked good in that game and Steven looked really good up forward...they were both dropped however and it...

Honest Lenny tells it like it is. David King's question to Lenny after the final siren about the new recruits and younger blokes; "Do you think the young guys are having a bit of an impact?" Lenny's reply went something like; "I think they're having an impact on the senior guys to te...

And Armo stood up when the game had to be won

Plenty...but you're back on ignore for now..I've got a footy match to watch and barrack for

Luke Ball was relatively young in 2010...he would have helped...don't you think?

Yeah...in 30 yrs time it'll say Geelong won 2009. Magpies won 2010. Who gives a rats who came second???!!!!!!! Lyon failed. Sacking GT and taking on Lyon was no more succesful...You still don't get it...Schneids, Zac and Dempster are recycled...Lyon didn't blood 'em!! GT blooded younsters like Gwilt...

Questions need to be asked of Peaky and Polo and Ray but as usual, Laurel and Hardy, aka pav and p66 waltz in with their 2 bobs worth. Guys; you can reflect and bask in the glory of a great h&a season and a great GF1 in 2010, but we actually lost the best chance in 40 years to win a flag. Some o...

The negativity and favouratism for taggers from Lyon means that guys who attack the footy and can set up play and lead and run into space can finally come into their own. Geary's game on the week-end should be a turning point in his career and even though it was against GC Suns, I reckon he should g...

Scarlett toe-pokes to Gazza Jr ... and there you have it in a nutshell: the father-son rule wins the Cats the 2009 flag. We have been unlucky. Nevertheless, I think it's too eraly to write off the Saints in the short term (as so many here seeem unusually eager to do). The great unknown is the kids ...

The youngsters will no doubt need a rest or will have bumps and bruises that may force the coaching staff to rule them out.... at some stage...but I don't think Scott should drop them for next week. We don't need to give Polo or Ray or Peaky games for the sake of it...The younger blokes are going to...

The difference in the side Watters is inheriting as opposed to the side Lyon inherited is that in 2007 Roo was easily rated as one of the top 3 if not THE BEST player in the AFL!! Guys like Lenny and Kosi, BJ, Chips and Dal and Milne were all on an upward trajectory back in 2007. The players that ca...

Good OP Con. There have been few whose star has shone as bright as rooy's at our club, but the reality is that it is inevitable that each and every players time in the game is limited. Let's not be blinded by past glories when it comes to our teams stars. Roo deserves every opportunity to continue a...

I beg your pardon??? GT DID have all those players. PLUS he had hamill, gehrig, heath black, aussie jones, x clarke, Guerra, Voss, TS40, and Robert Harvey. Compare that to Eddy, Mcqualter, Raph, Jones, Ray, Armitage, Geary, Dempster and Polo. The truth is the exact opposite to what you've said - if...

GT was not given the choice to accept an end of season review and any changes to footy departments and structures. He was simply sacked and told that; "You cannot improve this group and you cannot coach us to win a GF" (FULLSTOP) . You are correct,in what you have written. However in what...

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. Hear hear!! ...

Difference between GT and RL. GT got within a bee's dick of getting into a GF. Against the Power past their peak. IMO with a stronger list. RL got within a bee's dick of winning TWO GF's. Against quite possibly the best team ever in the cats at the height of their powers, and against the Pies in a ...

If you want to include the word great when you talk about Lyon, that's fine, but it's an opinion only. He inherited a great team. A team that had just played off in 3 finals series, 3 years running with 2 pre-lims under the belts of the core group, who were just hitting their straps.... Yep, he shou...

You have to be a lateral thinker as a coach and you've got to roll the dice to win the big one. You have to have a plan for a GF win. The finals were coming up and Lyon didn't change from the strategies and standard team selections. Most of all, you gotta get the runs on the board. Edward De Bono......

Great coaches win Premierships. Why do you include the word great when you talk about Lyon...He isn't, he wasn't and he will never be great!!!!!

I don't need to prove anything to you and you can have your opinion...it's just different to mine. As far as RLyon not doing anything wrong...well...great footy coaches are judged on premierships. Our team was ready to win one. He failed. If you want to keep defending him, go ahead. Your argument th...

Your name is spot on. I think you are full of it

Armo is ready and was ready. Ben could've been given a few extra games. Blake and Eddy should've been dropped for a few extra games as could have Dempster and Luke Miles definitely deserved more games. Maybe Milney or Schneids should have been rested more in the latter part of '09. As for Jack and h...
