I think this place is going to be fun tomorrow night C’mon mods. You’ve been working too hard. Take the week end off I'm thinking i should avoid saintsational tomorrow night and check the forum on hangover day, err, Sunday. :lol: :lol: Hang around Bob gonna be a hoot After we win - watch all the Ly...

Our training standards were a joke - N Riewoldt came out and said it What was it you posted about Ross Lyon and how he responded to what Roo had said? Roo Max criticism…inside 4 walls all that matters So ... basically you're saying that the coach and players would know more than someone who isn't i...

After Ross the boss and Attila the hun, Mr Dupont lists Dennis as one of his role models

C’mon mods. You’ve been working too hard. Take the week end off

If all it takes to be successful is a good coach Either 1/ Ross Lyon is an average coach 2/ that statement is incorrect Give it another 2 years...wait....hell - let's go with 3!! Give it another 3 full years. That'll make it nearly 5 years of Ross the Boss's second coming Up until that time...........

Not all football pundits seem to see worrying signs as early as you Scolops. Coaches included. Even after the event. I'm just a plebeian fan. An outsider The coaches have the insight. It's Ross's job to analyse and predict. The coaches are paid to review each player's performance AND to watch train...

Bringing Pou back in after 1 game in the magoos is ok by me, BUT…he didn’t get a rest last week If you notice the reasons for dropping several players this week it says ‘managed’ If it’s ok to ‘manage’ Seb, Tim and other players, then I’d like to see Pou managed at some stage Also Wilson. He’s in hi...

Read the tea leaves Ross. somewhere , i heard Ross say that he watched the 2nds run round besides , that being an example of the new ross in action ... one would presume , reading tea leaves was exactly what he was at the game for ... and there's the new onfield team as written in the empty cup Lov...

Coach decides to manage 3 players altogether in the same week as he drops another 3. That's 6 changes. Sometimes you can have too many changes. Need continuity for consistent performance Why couldn't you see this coming when 3 weeks ago, YOU were the guy complaining about tough schedules? Why not ma...

Weak and reactive. Ross Lyon's 'whateva' selection. What utter garbage Just post “I hate Lyon” Leave it at that cause this is dribbling The messiah can do no wrong He could have dropped 10 players and Mr Dupont would still be calling him a genius What would Pou's team mates be thinking after he is ...

Rubbish thread

I was one of Longy's biggest supporters when he was with us, but he's been disappointing since moving up there.

Let's see how he progresses with his career

Hmmmm. 2009 is a long time ago and that team was already high scoring before Lyon arrived as coach The rules were different. The game was different...but none the less, Rossy soon had his stamp on that team and they were scoring 9 goals per match And... let's face it. Who gives a stuff what we score...

You're gunna be mighty busy after Saturday night

Who?

RTB or the toxic skillet?

Mr Dupont of course

I really respect rtb. Great salesman

Hillsong and Scientology followers have nothing on this bloke

Steele, Clark, Ross, and Jones Versus Bontempelli, Liberatore, Mcrae, and Dunkley We won a final against them. Remember that? Oh... sorry...I forgot. Ryder was the difference and our mids are all hopeless Jones, obviously has been tried this year and is now out of favour. I think Seb is also passed ...

Petracca gets forward and kicks goals Steele? Don’t get me wrong, Steele is a very valuable footballer at St Kilda but given the position he plays he is compared to (list the elite mids) 2021 was 2021 but it is now 2024 I just do not rank Steele as competition leading - unlike Marshall, Sinclair, H...

Why is the last quarter or the last 15 mins any less important than any other stage of a match? They call them 'junk time' goals for a reason. It's usually because the other team has all but sown up the victory. Our opposition in both the Port match (Powell-Pepper, Rozee and Aliir) and GWS match (T...

Nick Riewoldt has come out and said Max doesn't work hard enough. Plus...he lacks forward craft. Well done to the bozo amateurs Lethlean and Co. for releasing Josh Bruce at the end of 2019. Who the bloody hell was Max supposed to learn from when all of a sudden in his first year in footy, he's being...

AFL report out 25 minutes ago regarding Ross Lyon responding to criticism...at the end of the story was this paragraph:

Midfielder Brad Crouch has recovered from a knee injury, but will return via the VFL.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/1130829

"I accept the criticism because it's valid. I've said there was a sameness (about us)." "We were really disappointed with our offence." "There were a lot of opportunities left on the table that we were really disappointed with." "Ideally we'd have another one or tw...

They are about to fall off a cliff.

Why don't you double down on that bet you took for them not to make the top 8.

The odds will be nice and juicy for you

My Mrs is a Collingwood supporter. Her sisters are Collingwood supporters too. Took after their mum who was a passionate footy fan ... Anyhow... I'm in a difficult situation where I have to watch some of the Collingwood press conferences because I also subject her to some of the Saints ones. I usual...

I don't think it's simply about players. Last year was a bit of a honeymoon period for Ross Lyon. The new 'game plan' for players and the new messaging from the new coach was important, but so too was the need to impress and preserve your footy career. It doesn't take much for players to lose faith ...

The cold hard facts are that we have a core of players at the level So Marshall, Wilkie, Sinclair and Hill We have a bunch of kids we have hopes for, starting with King, Wanganeen-Milera, Windhager, Owens, Phillipou and now Wilson So that is 10 players we hope will influence the results of games wi...
