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.

Re: Are happy with Euro-Yuroke name change
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...

Re: Ye old Cordy
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.

Re: Pick 3 in the draft
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.

Re: Bonner to Hill, Freo goal
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...

Re: Time to sit back and relax
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 ...

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 ...

It was a 5 year deal.

Honour the undertaking.
Don't go the bed wetting route.
As the man observed "...s*** happens.." then it doesn't.

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.

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...........

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.
