Press Conference announced for 1pm today

[nobhead]

Maybe harvey

[asiu]

haha

that smells like our favourite son

[saynta]

f*** it! DoIng a one-eighty and backing Lyon in

Liking what I'm hearing from the big fella

The only other option is to sook about it, so I choose to jump on board.

Or do what I did. Give Lyin my middle finger, both hands at once.

Childish I know, but extremely satisfying all the same.

Maybe you should stick to soley supporting the womens team for the forseeable future

Step on or step off

Maybe you should keep your advice to yourself or at least contain it to those that actually give a f*** for your thoughts.

[thejiggingsaint]

So I wonder how many members on here are not renewing?

I remain to be convinced that Lyon is the coach to take us forward, however I’m signed up for 2023, and did that without conditions/ strings attached. It is what it is, and I for one, am prepared to give Ross the benefit of a clean slate and back him and his coaching panel because the alternative is to just drop my bundle and walk away, and I AIN’T doing THAT any time soon!


Go Saints! ( To hell with the rest! )

I will consider your advice

By the way it's advice not advise

[shanegrambeau]

I elt excited and relieved at the prospect of Llyon returning (even GT coming back might have worked)

However, I am a little pensive now....I hope Lyon doesn't become too much of a 'modern' coach and hasn't lost his instincts.

Still, I am absolutely convinced that what we had going under Ratts was weak. Don't wanna knock Ratts, but the order of things in '21 and '22 was very sketchy.

Bring it on!

Similar to how I feel.

[Waltzing St Kilda]

When Ross looked like getting the Carlton job I said to a mate he'd have the Blues winning a flag within three years.

When Ross looked like getting the Essendon job my mate said to me, "Watch them zoom up the ladder as we languish in mediocrity."

Well, now we've got Ross.

Not expecting miracles, mind you. Might actually be better if we go backwards in 2023, ladderwise, and load up on draft picks.

[ace]

Very impressive presser
Rtb came across as very passionate.was interesting that he mentioned walsh being head of football a very important part of him deciding to take the job.
Also keen this time to delegate more of the workload with everyone in the football department.
Also mentioned there was 1 more appointment to be made (assistant coach) which members will be thrilled about .tba later this week apparently.

BJ or Roo?

Both part of the greedy 10 who took too much.
Those 10 blocked the import of two more star players who would have guaranteed multiple premierships.

[1971]

We could have continued with Ratten and of course I would have continued my membership. Rusted on. But I now have a spring in my step as well as my membership.

[saynta]

Now he is the coach, no more bagging from me. Against forum rules I'm afraid,

[The Fireman]

Cmon saynta. Come clean it ain’t the forum rules stopping you
Deep down you know this is a positive move not to mention the revival of the man love you have for rossy baby

Wrong mate, it's how I said it was. I don't bag saints players or their officials.

[freely]

sayonara from me. Club now has me on invidious position. Long to see us win a flag, unable to stomach thought of Ross Lyon ever winning one. Won't be renewing. And owing to those forum rules won't be posting either.

Good luck all. It's been real.

Good for you saynta, you're a man of your word in sticking tough with the Saints which is very commendable, I'm a lot more pragmatic than you but understand that you and others will take a long time to come to terms with these developments - you can also take comfort from the knowledge that Geoff Walsh will make sure Lyon Mk II will handle the job in a much better way than he did in the past.

[Bruce G McAbee]

As I have said, I have had my reservations about his appointment because if we return to winning ugly, that will be a problem.
Football is sadly very much a marketing game now and it isn't so much of if you win, but how you win.
Teams that play an exciting brand of football get the prime time TV spots and therefore attract the better sponsors and draw bigger crowds.
Just look at the Western Bulldogs under Beveridge, they play exciting good to watch football and they get a lot of prime time slots.
I hope I'm wrong and Ross turns us into an exciting winning team, because that's what is needed.
Simply, we need to score.

Bull$hit. If you are still here and reading this take a breath

After all the s*** this this club has been through over such a long time you’re going to pull the pin because we have chosen a coach not of your liking ??

The flag is what we all strive for and if this guy can do it that’s all that matters sit back mate have a nice bourbon on the rocks and a good rethink

[WellardSaint]

We need Ross to walk the fine line between being tough/hard but also forgiving and empathetic.

For whatever reason, after our win vs Cats, the entire squad seemed to be scared of making mistakes, and couldn't break through the middle.
Membrey always hanging onto the ball for too long.
Our defence usually (except Sincs+Wilkie) always kicking too close to the boundary line, hoping for it to go over.
I played VAFA in a bottom team, home ground had a strong cross wind.
Our instructions were *always* kick along the flanks so it'd go over and have a throw-in.

We need the guys to believe in themselves to trust their skills and being forceful, assertive, crestive

[prwilkinson]

Love the way Ross deals with the journos

[WellardSaint]

I saw a few seconds on TV
Where RTB spoke about how he's been whacked in the past about not bringing others in (my way or highway?)
And named Boris n Hayes, how he wants their input on what they wanna do, he 'wants to bring em along the journey' cos it's their journey too...
Geez,
Maybe getting out of footy and getting into media showed him how to really play well with others.
Maguire said that Ross has learnt a lot in media and real estate.
Hey guys, girls, and those indeterminate bipedal hominids- are YOU ALL EXCITED BECAUSE THIS OLD BASTARD IS FIRED UP

Well, I will be if Banger joins the band.

[Toy Saint]

Wow Saynta, you really know how to hold a grudge

Yep, never forget and never forgive. Maybe if he gets us our second flag before I depart this world I might relent. Just a tad.

Anyway , he owes us one.

I'm with you Santya, hopefully Lyon will prove me wrong. I'd be delighted to have Banger back at St Kilda, and, as the Blues Brothers said, happy to get the band back together.

+1. Lenny and Banger will be a huge get by the President. Very happy if Harves comes to St Kilda.

I concur with your sentiments about forum rules and (even if we don’t like Ross) we can’t demean a Saints official or discredit their character.

Best to just sit back and wait….maybe Ross reverts back to his true form and starts bagging the club himself prior to the day when he eventually walks or is sacked
