Why, Brigadier? If I may ask.

Players are expected to be resilient, show composure. Fans can demand a new coach as soon as they don't have bragging rights, going gets tough. It's hypocritical, dumb, self indulgent short termism, but many supporters are like that. Not all, but. Same ones calling for a sacking 5 minutes into the j...

Then Bonner is officially bullet proof.

No love for Tim M?
Maybe if he can light it up in VFL. Maybe.
Spot for Hayes?

So Narm-Euro-Yuroke?

It's because a number of people hold a grudge against him and the opportunity to slag off has just emerged.
Commentators frame it as a discussion because of a vacuous need to have an uneducated opinion on everything and pad between adverts.But it's not a balanced informed commentary.

How about a warrior or fierce creature name/description to compliment the place name. And tell you what was great, the didgeridoo playing. If that could be a regular part of the players entering the field atmospherics, terrific. Imagine, if it is possible, few bars of Oh when the Saints on a didgeri...

Seems a smart player.
We seem a bit light on for footy smarts.
Hope he can mentor Dougal.

JB on Clarke hypothetical.
Could probably keep Clarke to just 2 or three goals.

With Lyon we be fly'n.

Well North don't need mids so we should get a beauty.
Also no Thursday or Friday matches and few Saturday evening games.
Unfortunately it also means a game at Mt Barker, about 8 interstate fixtures and no mercies from the MRO and umps. Character building.

It is a part of Lyons game plan to get the ball in Bonners hands as often as possible (and Nas) A part of that is him kicking in Freo bought in. Kicked lots of points. Possibly Bonner was tired from all that kicking in and the hopeless kick to Hill was his last gasp of energy. Well planned J. Longm...

I’m not 100% on it

I miscounted the year of exploration. Apologies.

The list is 80% the same And a year more experienced Every team has injuries and suspension Squad mentality- you deal with that So list is significantly different. No two teams have identical injuries and suspensions. Deal with it? Sounds easy. A seriously disperate 44 plus group in a complex high ...

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 ...

It was a 5 year deal.
Let the man go the journey.
Honour the undertaking.
Don't go the bed wetting route.
As the man observed "...s*** happens.." then it doesn't.
All good things usually involve hard work and perseverance.

What happened last year - with the same list? Is Jack Steele the new Seb Ross?! Where were you last season. And it is not the same list. Form and personnel changes, suspensions and injury have made it significantly different. As has the butterfly wings effect of Bonnor's clangers. Or sledgehammer b...

Please help understanding this. If Ross goes Bonner would not have served up that comedic turn over. Steele doesn't give Marshall a hot potato holding the ball, suddenly Dougal is a footballer, Max can hold marks. Is that right, the players are conspiring to fail. Seems to me junior footy brain fade...

Not many.
Smallest crowd I can remember.
Train lines out. Cold. WA team. We are struggling.
Not much of a hard core!
Will be hard for the players unless the club plays canned applause.

Max v Pearce will be a contest worth witnessing live. Steele v Fyfe Brayshaw v Windhager See how Dougal approaches the job on Amiss/Treacy. Caminiti is always fun to watch and a bit like Forest's box of chocolates. Henry down one end, Walters the other. Wilson Real debut of Collard Sharman back in t...

Only had to start speculation he might come to Saints and he injured himself.
Bit fragile for the large lump he is?
Has to be a beat up.
Anyway, two Carlton hand me downs is enough for present, don't you think.
Although Dow should scrub up nicely.

A horribly miserable cold wet winter awaits that big bunch of Collingwood players who are well into their 30s, They are about to fall off a cliff. For once , I hope you are right. N. Daicos. Captain Moore. If they or either go down for a few weeks Coach Fly might have to change from sanguine to ref...

Nah… He’ll change his tune. And will be adamant that he never supported Ross. It’ll be Chris Pelchen and Brett Ratten all over again! Fair dinkum. From a supporter. Check the calendar, it's 18 months in. Billings is no McEvoy. New players take time to identify and develop. Feet of clay stuff.

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...........
