Like skeptic, I decided that since the boss was the saints coach, I would refrain from making adverse comments about him personally. I don't s*** on saints officials. Never have and never will.
WTF! I didn’t say that. Why don’t you go back to ignoring me like you constantly claim you are rather than representing what I say.
My position is… I stand by everything I’ve said about RL. Every critique I’ve made over the years. Unequivocally and no question.
The thing is… I don’t actually have a personal dislike of him at all.
I’ve just always felt that across the 08-12 era his performance was overrated for a variety of reasons that are well documented.
Those observations however, right or wrong, are not relevant to RL and St.Kilda in 2023. If I think he’s doing a crappy job and my old concerns pop up again and definitively allow me to say I told you so… it’s coming. BUT… I have no desire to see him or the club fail. I want us all to succeed and hope that version 3.0 is newer and improved.
To this point in time… nothing is proven but one can only comment on what has been put before us and hyperbole not withstanding (I mean obviously he’s not really God he hasn’t definitively proven anything so no need to keep pointing it out)… he has done very well so far.

How many RTB fanboys creeping out of the woodwork tonight????
I didn’t see that coming - I’m just super wrapt it did!
Finally some of the prized idiot Lyon haters on here get to eat some crow…
Coach doesn’t matter - we can sack them all won’t change our players….pfffft …what a load of HORSESHYTE
Lyon’s efforts in 09/10 were only cause he had good players….pffft…..post above blows that out of the water and I contend IF Grant Thomas had of got out of the way much earlier, been a caretaker coach only (as he promised he was) and we had Lyon with Hamil, Gehrig, younger Harvey, Hudgton in prime we’d have that flag or 2 already…that’s why I despise the GT cretin …as one of his ex assistant coaches said to me directly “he **** your club”
Lyon brings discipline- we need it
He brings coordination and organisation- god knows after choose your own pre season adventure Brett…we need it
It’s early days ….give him 12 months and some more draft talent…then we ride for top 4
The Saints Are Coming…
Not entirely true. I swore that I wouldn’t admonish RL this time based on his performance as version 1.0.
I’m open to the possibility that he has merely gotten better since then."
