i cant believe these guys.
they think that they can just kick the ball and win games without running.
no wait, they kicked the ball without running and won games.
who knows what they can do with more run.
Unless of course you believe that Ross is holding us back...
The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.
IMO we have a very good coaching team on our hands. It's now over to the players.
Was music to my ears to read in St Mart's excellent training report that Steven King is very vocal and saying things like "you've got to learn to coach yourselves!" Wrapped with the Kingy - knows what it takes.

keep up the good work
I reckon you can be pretty sure that King is playing for another medal... and not for a pension cheque. He's now earnt the respect of the players, so expect him to show his leadership skills more often.

agreed...he is one of the most vocal out on the field..
i think the addition of him somewhat outsourced helps our younger leaders and assists the development of future leaders

i have a lot of respect for ross lyon.
i had a lot of respect for robert harvey.
the difference i believe was that robert harvey cant deliver a flag and that was shown.
ross lyon has a winning record.
reason enough to re-sign the man in my opinion.

No one man can deliver a flag, it takes a team to do that, Harvey's lack of team success was through no fault of his own...
Your posts are getting weirder and weirder, I'm begining to think you're troll more with every post...
ROBERT HARVEY A.K.A The Great Man, Banger, Harves, Ol' Man River...
384 games, 4 B&F's, 3 EJ Whitten Medals, St.Kilda Captain, 2 Time Brownlow Medalist, 8 Time All Australian, 2nd Highest Brownlow votes poller.... The greatest of ALL TIME!!

Ross Lyon has won as many flags as a senior coach as Harvey has as a player...
You must really like attention...

Armoooo,
Ross Lyon is a part of the furniture like it or not.
He will be our Tony Roach (Head Coach) for the next ten years.
He is commited to the club and the club is commited to him.
He has been around long enough to know what he is doing.
He is twice-better than GT.
Ross Lyon is intuition personified.

It wasn't the media bickering I was worried about... if you know what I mean
I do indeed ........................................................... and unfortunately even being signed for an extra year wont release him from the clutches of some
but to have three coaches working toward their 4 th year is great- solid base of understanding.
this is a good thing, we need a stable coaching staff and Ross has done enough to get this extra year.....didnt know we had turned over 19 of the list in his first 2 years.....
I agree it takes the heat off the coach and club in the media by doing this early.....there will be a few coaches out of contract next year so this is good....
Even Caro almost said he was doing a good job.....could she be turning around and actually supporting Ross....

i would have liked to have seen him back up 2008 b4 extending his contract
I'm actually a bit the opposite.
Lyon hasn't convinced me that he has us headed in the right direction - however it's great to see we have a Board with some ticker who will stick fat (whatever that means!).

As was mentioned before, he's moved 19 players since he's taken over as coach, that's a good thing, he does what has to be done and I applaud that.
Moving players doesn't mean squat.
Moving on ordinary players, and replacing them with ordinary players isn't much value.
In terms of Lyon 'doing what has to be done', I'm still very surprised and quite disappointed that he hasn't made any real tough calls on our list.
