If you're going to attribute retarded opinions to Leigh Matthews do try to ascertain what Matthews actually thinks. In Matthews' opinion (as articulated on Saturday after the match against Freo) Ross Lyon is the best coach in the competition and the coach he would hire first if he was running a club...

MIlne is the heart of soul of this club both in spirit and in ability. But only those with a heart and soul can recognize that.

Well he also had his chance to make change happen and that didnt appear. We had the same players making same mistakes using what appeared to be the same game plan. I wonder if Mr WATTERS has the 'metal' to do the job or is he just full of media fluff similiar to Terry Wallace. I worry that Dean Lai...

Mr Magic, you've confused all the quotes which unfortunately put your words in my mouth and my words in yours. In answer to your question - what I wrote is not misleading. What's misleading is pretending you want someone to stay then admitting you don't care that they left. You don't have to delist ...

Scott certainly said he was a required player publicly.

Of course Scott wanted him. But it was Pelchen's decision. And Pelchen stated quite quite clearly that he kept the players he wanted.

We need to trade for another ruckman and a genuine fullback, but lets face it, the dream is gone for another few years. Good luck finding a "genuine" full back. Zac was an integral part of the best defence in history and we chose to delist him at the age of 25. Went on to save the game fo...

Well he should have done a lot more to retain Dawson. Have no idea what he was thinking on that. We are one big defender down and this will come back to bite us.. We were going to lose someone, salary cap was too tight and Dawson got offered a chunk of change. Simple as that. No it's not simple as ...

you can't keep someone who is adamant they want to leave. Don't kid yourself. Pelchen said: "We kept everyone we wanted to keep" - Ergo he wanted Dawson to leave. You don't have to delist someone you don't want. When it's someone like Dawson on a very small contract, you just offer them a...

Incidentally, what did everyone think seeing Dawson collect Stokes in that last 1/4? I reckon we're better off without him. That challenge could have gone very badly for Freo. Dawson leaving his man and running 60m to knock Stokes out of a contest that would have resulted in a certain goal for Geel...

Salt of the earth is our Jason....

What an absolute sweetie! Shy and humble as ever. Hardly changed at all.

Did Nick actually say that? I find that really sad. I doubt he would have said it of his own volition.
Why should Jonathan Brown or someone like Ling - an ordinary player by comparison - be captain until he retires and not Nick?

The point is who Ross would have played this year, not this time last year. The point was Lyon would have been crucified for selecting this team. The reasons offered were that it's too same old, same old Agreed. And my point is that it is too same old, same old, given the kids Lyon played last year...

Siposs, 19; Cripps, 19; Ledger, 20; Stanley, 21; Steven, 22; McEvoy, 22; Geary, 23; Armitage, 23. A third of the selected squad is younger than Terry Milera. Three of them have played five games or less. Stanley has played less than ten. Lyon may have played a younger, less experienced squad at som...

What an intelligent young man. A wonderful player with great character to boot.

Better able than last year, certainly.

David King has two outstanding qualities. Brainlessness and dishonesty. That you're quoting him as an authority says a great deal about you & your attempts at misrepresentation are worthy of King himself. Robinson asked King what evidence he had for connecting Ross to the departure of that assis...

Not playing for score-less draws anymore.

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you meant losing games by 15 plus goals. Why would anyone complain if we win games having 15 goals scored against us?
You're definitely setting up a straw man there.

Hey whiskers, why are you expecting to have 15 plus goals kicked against us? We didn't last year. Why this year?

In 2011, St Kilda went 12-9-1 with a percentage of 112. We were knocked out in an elimination final. Geelong get a terrible rap because of one half v Collingwood in the prelim where they were obliterated. But make no mistake, in 2010 they were still a very good side, much better than St Kilda 2011 ...

SAme as excuse in '07. Settling in new coach/gameplan. That is a false analogy and a lame excuse. Lyon radically overhauled our game plan to turn us into premiership contenders and taught our players the forward press when no-one had ever heard of it. Beginning in 2010, Worsfold studied St Kilda's ...
