You've trotted this nonsense out at least 4 times already.

Ross Lyon never said it.

No matter how many times you post it, it will still be false/wrong.

Youth policy finished?

Ross has said that he will not play the kids anymore,unfortinatly. I thought they would try one of the Key position like johnson,Walsh. Both have been playing well for sandy,or Archer,lynch, Stanley( injured hammy) but that now will have to wait till next season. I really feel that it will styfle ou...

It depends on the trend of the game Con, big bodied forwards are the in form ones at the moment. Cloke, Petrie, Kennedy... Perhaps the game will evolve back to suiting the slight more athletic forward soon, but until then, they will struggle to make an impact IMO. Archer 193 cm 99kg big bodied Wals...

Re: Gards comeback has terrible timing.

With both Johnson and Walsh currently pushing Very hard for selection the comeback of Gards could not of come at a worse time. Huge chance we will see him playing second fiddle to Mcevoy ala kosi. Playing as a full forward and going into the ruck for a Bit. Meaning on past history of how Ross likes...

The young guys find it hard in their first season to keep their bodies up for extended periods. Siposs was great in one game and looked less involved by the week, playing his confidence down doesn't fast track development. Guys that are in that next group are Johnson a tallish forward, we went with...

It is very clear that Ross now has " the opportunity, without recriminations " to find out who amongst the young guys, can come on. 8-) There are 10 games to go, so let's roll a few through these games - get plenty of games into Sipposs, Simpkin, Ledger, Winmar. "Try" Stanley, W...

Time to put your money where your mouth is Ross. Sam gilbert has been a very good player for this team in previous years but he has had 13 games now to find form and is a still an absolute liability. Guys like lynch and Walsh are pushing for selection and deserve to be rewarded. I hate to say it bu...
