[matrix]

beauty, i took a sickie today and can watch them

[Saint Bev]

You little beauty, cracking nite of TV.

[SainterK]

Yep Bev, good night of TV ahead

[Beej]

Nice work! Can't wait to listen to some classical Ross Lyon footy-vernacular.

The Winners, On the Couch, One Week and then Footy Classified.

Wall to wall footy programming from 730 until 1130.

[#1GILL]

On the Couch dedicates a good 15 minutes to their guests. Just non-stop interview and they ask the hard questions.

Ross handles the media well, and I am willing to bet we get some good responses from him tonight.


One Week at a Time on the otherhand.....

[Stephen Theodore]

Thanks Saintbrat. Wasnt going to watch "One Day " but will at least tape it now.

Speaking of that show, I dont think Robert Walls is anywhere near as effective as he was on "On the Couch". Maybe its me, but he just seems to go along with the rest of the panelists, whereas I thought he used to voice his own opinion more often against Mike Sheahan (and Healy) on the other show.

Anyway its all good tonight. You beauty. Go Sainters

[lendog heaven]

thanks for the heads up brat!!

I'm still tossing up One week or MVP
but probably come down on the side of One Week and tape MVP tomorrow arvo..

Look, we're really united about what we're doing and we've got a common belief that means everyone has to play their part and we're confident that we're on the right track. We don't have the luxury of looking back, or looking too far forward, it's about the here and now, we've achieved our goal making top four and now it's up to us to see how far we can push into September.

[saintbrat]

Now on

[Moorabbin Saints]

Pretty much said the same old things.

Said Baker still remains a chance.

He refused to comment on the free kick and said he hasn't made a whimper about one for 4 years not going to start now.

Said we are a solution based club.

An utter professional in whatever he does.

[mohannair]

Now on

Saintbrat, can you pl. post if something intresting is said by RL. I do not have Fox sports.

However I will watch BJ on OneHD.

[saintsareprettygoodhey]

Same ol' same ol'. Bit disappointing that they ran out of questions and instead asked him about a Geelong error

[evertonfc]

Remember when GT used to be slated for corporate-speak?

Heh, we're now a "solutions based club".

Nice sentiment...but I nearly fell out of my chair when he said it.

Maybe that's why I like Ross's style
I to like to Find' solutions' rather than worry about the how did we get here- the how do we move forward- or Find the solutions.......... the What's next? Ok that's happened- now onto...

[saintsRrising]

Why?

And it is not "corporate speak", it is just that Lyon is avery analytical coach and that Lyon focuses on how he want players, and the team to be.

Ross has always talked very technically...knows his stats backwards etc.

One of his mantras has always been based about playing correctly, and if you do that the result will look after itself.

this has included that players have set performance expectations.

Dal was dropped for it.
So was Ball.
so was Peake whom was tonights Case Study.

Peake is now playing as Lyon wants him to play.

What hits you is just how calm, happy, confident and focused he is in his role and this must rub off on the players.

Of course we are all biased but he comes across as a breath of fresh air when compared to the grumpy old man Malthouse, the half dead Thompson and the uninspiring Eade to name a few.

[saintspremiers]

Said Baker still remains a chance.

chance of what?

chance of getting a very good seat in the stands perhaps??

I was surprised, he said Baker is moreso a chance to play with more training?

[widereceiver]

What a fantastic coach. Refuses to be sucked in to trivial junk and just gives his public persona.
He looked very relaxed tonight but I'm sure behind closed doors he's working like a demon to take us one step better this year.

Yes, it is.

But that's ok. Just a quirky thing that's slipped into the AFL vernacular.

No biggie.

I think whats being lost in translation here is Lyon has the ability to back up his spin with facts/figures. I am genuinely amazed at how often after a loss he is able to specifically indicate in real football terms where we broke down.

Grant used spin, and then hid behind the intangibles "its mental toughness again" - all true but all very triring after a while and it smelt of someone who maybe didnt have anymore tricks in his bag other than the parochial supporter come coach.

Anyway lets not open those years again.....but it is how I see the vast difference between the 2 and Lyons use of the language (and he does know some bingo terms himself..)

[SainterK]

...and tired, he looks like he has been running through matchups and gameplans in the early hours. Tired eyes, hope he does take his wife out for dinner this week.
