After watching that press conference, I am really proud of the President and CEO, they handled themselves exceptionally. No point being nasty, it wont change anything.

Let Ross answer for his actions. Lets hope the media ask him the hard questions later today.

OK, so we present a completely unemotional press conference that refuses to say a bad word about Ross. Are we all happy with this?

Does the St Kilda Football Club really have "admiration" for RL after all of this?

Perhaps the idea is to let the media feed directly from Ross Lyon at his own press conference. I wonder how hard the media will go at 2pm today?

Not sure I am all that happy with how we presented ourselves and wonder what part our admin played in all of this. Seemed very careful not to say anything negative.

Thought those 2 guys spoke very well. Especially Westaway, seems like a "No BS" kinda guy. Of course they couldn't get out there and say what they really thought.

Looking forward to seeing how the search goes - never a dull moment at St Kilda.

The Club has handled this situation very professionally. I am sure how they feel is quite different but whats the point in spitting the dummy, just makes you look like a fool.

Bloody hell just watching the media harass Harvey at Perth airport, really feel for the guy.

Still cant believe this has happened and very angry with Ross Lyon.

Excellent reaction from the club.

No whinging, backstabbing or show of petulance and anger.

Just professional and respectful and hungry to move foward

Everyone knows that Nettlefold and Westaway wnated to call Lyon and Freo duplicitious, unprofessional, and backstabbers, because that exactly what they are...

but what purpose would that serve apart from making some supporters feel better. It wouldn't change the situation, and would drag the club down to Lyon and Fremantles level.

The club has a job to do. We need a coach who will commit to a rebuild of our shabby list.

And we need to give him time to do it.

Lyon is gone, he wasn't committed, he has turned out to be of questionable character, we are better off without him.

Good answer - Get Lyon to answer the questions about lying to the players, and dealing with a club behind his representation's back and while he was supposed to be steering the club towards a finals birth.


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Well, if we're going to retire or delist half the club, a fair proportion of both will be required.

Sure do,

Could perhaps re-hash the slogan 'ride of your life' - quite appropriate

Are we back on the subject of Kim Duthie again?

Well he's going to be trying to justify his position somehow - so expect criticism! I doubt he's going to come out and say, i did it just for the money....although that would be refreshing.
