Ratten said the same and St.Kilda Board didnt like it, so they sacked him.
If Ross Lyon wasn't available they wouldn't have sacked Ratten.

Apparently Ross is going to take us to our next Grand Final

Re: Ben Paton Forward

I would have preferred Jones in ahead of Paton tonight It's illogical to be making him the sub. I thought Paton or Pou should have been sub Jones was in ripping from in the VFL. Use that momentum and confidence he had and start him on the ground. Copper Sharman was in ripping form in the VFL. It's ...

Re: Sack Lyon

The development isn't going to be a linear graph pointing upwards...we all realise that

We have young players so we understand there will be inconsistent form from some

What we are getting right now, is consistent low scoring. Consistent ugly and boring football

That has to change

Re: Ben Paton Forward

I’m not talking about his ability The idea of him playing at HF - beyond a joke Puts someone in the forward line who you want there to NOT kick goals. I mean...he's not specifically telling him to do that, but he's not a goal scorer...is he? Classic Ross Lyon move What's changed since he was our co...

It's not just the low scoring every week It's the rubbish excuses we hear ... it's the sycophants telling us about his great understanding of the game...etc I think he's struggling to coach in the modern game.

The Lyon cultists will tell you it's Robert Harvey's fault Paton should not be in this team right now.

Re: Match Thread - Saints V Freo

Great effort from Mattaes late in the game and unlucky not to have been paid that mark...but game was all but lost by then. He had 2 possessions up until that stage Out of Cooper Sharman and Mattaes Phillipou...who would you say has better form? Who has better touch? Obviously it's Cooper. Why take ...

Midfield is competing well

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...........
