It's up to you
I'm very flattered.
You should be.
There are very few with the overinflated ego to match you on here!
But perhaps a new thread would be best so you can discuss me as much as you like?? Obviously you're obsessed with me, but I'm sure others (apar from your crew of course) don't want to read about me all the time.
Well I'm just waiting for the next edition of your Fox Report so that we can assist you in your 'ego-stroking' narcissistic self flagelating 'Master Debating' exercise in self promotion.
It can be risky depending on why it's done.WayneJudson42 wrote:Re the dropping of Dal: if it wasn't a "desperate act" it was certainly a high risk one which could have blown up in Lyon's face. Don't forget, Dal did not deserve to be dropped on form. Lyon was sending a message to the whole team about attitude. You only get one go at making such a statement: it either works, or you lose all respect. Full marks to Lyon for bringing it off.
Dude, the point is that none of us know why he got dropped. It may not have had anything to do with form. It may well have been attitude. It may have been as punsihment for letting the team down against the Swans.
What risk? If the guy gets dropped and he can't cop it, then F*** him off at the end of the year.
Same would go for any other player who decided to lose respect based on one selection decision.
Id suggest that second half of football is what hes wanted and hasnt been able to get executed on the park for some time.Saints43 wrote:I've had major doubts about RL's abilities working with the group.
But wrote somewhere else:
We ran the ball around the wing and then at centre wing tried to find an option in the centre corridor to attack them directly. Unfortunately the players really used the ball poorly in the first half.
We turned the game by pressuring them. 52 tackles tonight. They didn't start kicking it out on the full because they can't play.
Ross Lyon's coaching of quick handball skills when coupled with effective tackling is grand.
And if he keeps getting that effort and attitude out of the group then we are back.
That second half of football was as good as you'll see. And there's scope for improvement generally.
12 goals to three in the second half.
I agree. He is shaping up as a long term coach and may provide the stabilty that we have craved for so long. My only criticism is that he possibly waited to long to give a couple of players and the group a real kick up the bum that was sorely needed. He perhaps was also a little slow in getting youth into the team. We may have had an extra win if he had have done this which could be crtitical in the washupsaintsRrising wrote:I have been reading the various threads tonight and I would have to say that Lyon does not see to be getting the credit he deserves.
* He brought in two more runners and quick players in Schneider and Fiora to play a team where all but Max were capable of having run in the midfield. He copped a HUGE bag from most on this.
Result was that we outran the Hawks in the second half.....and that our run and legspeed were excellent
* He got most of his match ups right. BJ 's lack of pace was exposed early on in the backline and the Hawks exploited it. RL re-adjusted the backline to counter.
* He swung Blake into the ruck at the right time. Mini to shut down Mithchell etc etc..
*He kicked Dal, Milne...and through them the balance of the team up the bum a few weeks ago to lift the workrate of the WHOLE team. Players such as Kosi have noticeably lifted since.
*The Saints are now obviously a pretty fit team...able to run out games strongly...made more so with good team and structural selections.
Lyons fingerprints were all over tonights win....and great credit is due to him.
100% spot on but you need to take Dodgs drivel as most on here do - an agenda driven rant for all things that were.....markp wrote:Virtually every single one of his posts is indirectly about the GT 'legacy'..... he's the one who needs to lighten up.JeffDunne wrote:C'mon mark, lighten up.
This top 4 bollocks is just that, bollocks.... more than 4 teams could claim to have a top 4 list. Means nothing.
Some really insightful commentary.rexy wrote: My observations are that we are running out games as well as I have ever seen us and that the players have moulded to Ross's game a little and Ross has moulded to the strengths of our players a little. Ie Gramm is not a great stopper naturally so you cant give him a job every week. Our taggers are not prolific ball winners like Kirk so we must have at least one of Ball/Hayes in the middle to win the pill.etc etc. Overall I feel that RL will get credit as a really good coach when he coaches a team with sustained success. That is no different for any other coach in the League. I think he has the brains and the desire to do it and I hope he does.
As a doubting Thomas I reserve the right to see something before I believe it. And I want to see it fairly regularly.Teflon wrote:Id suggest that second half of football is what hes wanted and hasnt been able to get executed on the park for some time.Saints43 wrote:That second half of football was as good as you'll see.

Id also suggest that some of us had been saying this for a while but just couldnt seem to get the doubting Thomas' off our backs...
Lyon can coach Ive no doubt.
