Re: Zac to the rescue
It's not a magic figure. It's what I thought at the time. If we were good enough to win 15 in a row...logic tells you we would probably win a few more from there. Logic also tells you you cannot get the best out of your playing group unless there is some fear involved in their motivation for wanting...

Re: Zac to the rescue
One thing I'm not is one-eyed and one other thing I'm not is stupid. Ever heard of Edward De Bono? As I've said many times before...I didn't see the logic in keeping Rooy and King and Gardiner and Dal and BJ and Gilbo and Joey and Schneids and others out there each week after we'd won 15 in a row. O...

Re: Zac to the rescue
Yep, it's that easy isn't it...maybe you should just let go now.....move on it's 2012 Ok thanks for letting me know what year we are in. What's your point...times change...Yep, I agree. Lyon should have figured it out, but he was stuck back in 2005/6 wasn't he? If he cleared his mind of his bias an...

Re: Zac to the rescue
In the end it was pleasing.....no hang on....it was bullsh1t...What's the point of winning 19 in a row!!?? Ross was handed the blueprint and he failed. The fact that the team played in pre-lims before he arrived and the fact that we had such an awesome year in 2009, tells me that it was all wasted o...

Re: Ross Lyon on The Couch this Monday
Oh do you explain Robert Eddy getting 33 games - including Grand Finals - but being delisted a few weeks later? Makes no sense - unless Lyon seen as a Lyon mistake of judgement. Rather large mistake in judgement. And there are plenty more to list. As I have said all along - Lyon = very good coach -...

Re: Ross Lyon on The Couch this Monday
boring, negative ALMOST succesful. And like other ALMOST successful coaches, he will be judged when his time is up. I reckon they'll be saying things like; too conservative in his footy philosophy and basically too defensive to the detriment of the Saints chances in 2009 and 2010. Maybe he didn't h...

Re: Big Rhys
We are lucky to have a guy like Stanley on the list and we need to give Rhys every opportunity to be one of the hardest guys for opposition sides to match up on... Rhys could develop into a full forward if that's where the coaching staff reckon is his best position and then Kosi can share ruck dutie...

Re: Freo
Is your enthusiasm for Ross prejudiced. Why do you always jump to his defense? Terry Wallace got a second chance and failed. Rodney Eade got a second chance and failed. Gary Ayres got a second chance and failed...all of them failed to win a flag and all of them will go into the history book as good ...

When your team has kicked 2 or 3 goals up 'til half time (like we did with our last match under Lyon and many other matches throughout his tenure) then perhaps that summarises the philosophy of the head coach and the stats are bound to reflect the game plan to a large extent. My read on the stats fr...

Scott Watters is the boss Essentially, that is what Scott was saying without actually saying it. I think it's great that he is open minded about making a decision in 5 or 6 weeks time. Apart from the fact that he will consult with the board and with the senior playing group, I think Scott Watters i...

RE: '09 GF. Yes, Lyon, by his own admission, says he should have given more game time to Ball in the second half, and also humbly admits to another match-day error on that day (can't remember it now) BUT He also says, (and I agree with him), that the reason we lost the game is because we missed so ...
