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: Sack Lyon
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.

Re: Time to sit back and relax
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...

Re: Sack Lyon
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...

Re: Crowd prediction vs Freo
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.

Re: Chasing Weitering
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.

Re: I accept the criticism: Ross Lyon press conference
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.

Re: I accept the criticism: Ross Lyon press conference
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...........

Re: saints interested in players already
Shoulda given up the 2nd rounder for Xerrie instead of Campbell couple of years ago. Maybe looking a little further ahead if picking up a ruck. My guess is if Stengel went anywhere I’d would be Carlton with Eddie betts Stengle needs Miers and Duncan kicking to him. Won't leave and be successful. Mi...

Corrosive topic. Sad/disappointing so many have been sucked in and to read the heart wrenching tales of distress and angst. Congenital pessimism must be a burden, good luck dealing. Unless you like the wallowing, of course. Tip: you can stop "supporting" anytime you like, find some other c...

Re: Crowd prediction vs Freo
Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Dockers fans came over. Expect an easy kill, see Melbourne, plenty of tickets available, compare Southbank with Freo's High Street. Or maybe bottom of Elizabeth with High St. Catch up with Ross.

Re: Changes for Freo
Cordy might be mightily under estimated in regard to what he brings. Could release Battle fwd, give Max a spell as he looks injured. Zane just brings serious effort and smarts. Qualities the side doesn't have a lot of.

Isn't he a young man living away from home a long way from home and quite physically small. Subi to Wonthaggi, who wouldn't be a bit perplexed by the journey. So quick to critique these young blokes going through tremendous change. Support wouldn't go astray in this formative stage. Maybe?

Re: Losing to Hawks
Kick long & high into forward line to the disadvantage of our forwards or to an outnumber. Repeat 20+ times per match, a method that has transcended 3 coaches & a few playing groups. Must be something in the Moorabbin water. And if being 5 points down with 50 secs on the clock isn`t the tim...
