Re: “Innovate or perish: Why the numbers just don't stack up for Ross Lyon“

Once we win the ball back from turnover we are bottom 4 for generating scores When we win the footy from turnovers anywhere forward of centre, we are bottom 2 for scoring. Our stoppage players either need to drive their legs and find space rather than kicking it blindly...or we need handballs to fin...

Re: Sack Lyon

So Teffers Are you saying he inherited a bad list Ipso facto Ratten had a poor list Meaning it wasn’t his coaching - it was the list then too… right?! Ratten's defensive systems were s*** and he didn't know where our List was at. So it had a bit to do with his coaching. In hindsight Richo was a bet...

Re: The Blame game

..Sharman should be played deep forward and left there for four or five games surely that opportunity has been given in spades, he's just not up to AFL standard. He stood up in a final last year and played a reasonably good game. What other AFL standard are you conjuring up? Obviously, you are stil...

The same list didn't have these talent issues sitting top 4 last year. Building a premiership side is often like turning the titanic, but poor Ross seems to be steering it towards a bigger iceberg.

Re: Crab watch

You do realise JB has kicked bags of 5 and 4 And has 30-40 Brownlow votes He’s not a super star But he ain’t no dud either - he’s had Best on Ground performances in the AFL He had a couple of shots on goal. Still hopeless. One didn't make the distance and was a wasted kick. The other was his standa...

Re: Bonner to Hill, Freo goal

I get where you're coming from Moods. It wasn't an absolute shocker of a kick, but how many overhead marks does Hill take per game? That's not his strength is it? Anyhow... it's one incident. There are dozens of errors we can find in each game... even from some of our better players. I agree that Hi...

The Gold Coast game was unbelievable. What a goal feast

The Port game v Hawthorn

And then... tonight...how good is it to see a bottom team beat a top 4 team and West Coast actually kicked over 100 points

He's a fill in only. He's back up. The coaches either back Dougal and support him, coach him, help him or ...hand in their resignation While Dougal is on the list he is the best option. I know he makes a few mistakes, but so does everyone. If we decide to offload Dougal at the end of the year, then ...

It's a rarity for me to be on the same page as my old mate Vortex, but I couldn't agree more with his succinct comments!

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade

We all know players can have bad weeks. I’m not a huge fan of Seb Ross, but he’s an experienced midfielder and he rarely plays 2 really poor games in a row When we lost to Hawthorn, everyone knew there’d have to be some changes to the team…but Lyon decided to have 3 of his more experienced players ...

Re: King ...out of form or

Let's all make excuses for King and let's all forgive Ross Lyon if he keeps him in the side over the next few weeks (regardless of how King performs)

We pay him like a super star so let's keep treating him like a super star

Re: I accept the criticism: Ross Lyon press conference

Why say we got it wrong bringing Phillipou back when no one asked ... I don't mind the honesty. He's at least taking ownership of that decision What I do mind is that you make a decision to drop a player based on poor form over an extended period (Pou has been either poor or below average in his la...

Talk about other issues. Talk about errors. Talk about misfortune, but share the blame.
