I posted this in another thread, but this is why. "Was explained to us at the SEQ function that Armitage was dropped because physically and mentally he is not quite up to playing long spells in the seniors. By that I mean the amount of games not game time. They said it can crush the young kids...

the softest of em all is lyon its HIM & HIM alone that keeps bringing our marshmellows back or keeps them in the team gram,schnieder,r.clarke,fiora etc dont select themselves its one r.fn lyon who selects them when blind freedy knows they are shielas Agree but i wouldnt leave his assistants out...

I havent seen any passion frm this side for 18 months.Is telling us something

Aussie Jones.."nowhere near ready"??? then the club should be moving heaven and earth to get him at the club in an assisting capacity NOW!!! I would hate to see one of our own get picked up by someone else and have him coaching against us in the future He is not ready to be the head coach...

I think he might be a good skills coach though.

By the way WHO is the skills coach,

Why wait till seasons end,if he is no good now ,how will that improve us.Dont talk to me about SOFT that comes from the people calling the shots ,dont remember being called soft before.If RL keeps us going down this path ,WHO would want to coach us next year I said 4 weeks ago that RL had to show hi...

And he wouldve been the difference today right?

Its a positive thread?
If you have none dont bother replying.

Sorry teflon,but i am positive he should have played

The list was going backwards if Gt was still here we would be in the same position. Ross will be a good coach like u said lets give it some time Rome wasn't built in a day. RL, wasgiven the job to get results,show me the indications that he WILL be a good coach,cause i cant see em,and not cause R W...

Buckets, I have always been skeptical to blame the coach but at the moment I see a team that has very little passion. Some players will never need a coach to rally there natural instincts to play at their best but it is fact of human nature that some do. Having a dead wet fish coming out at quarter...

He did say he doubts GT's prediction that we could win 2 flags in the next 10 years. If he fair dinkum said that he doesn't think we can win 2 flags in the next ten years, WTF is he doing in the job!!!!!!! Going to new depths of uninspiringness. For the coach to say that he doesn't think the club h...

Anyone hear Lyon's press conference? I missed it. What spin was put on the disaster? He said we were soft and this also reflected on the coaches.....so players and coaches were collectively poor. Soft i didnt think we were SOFT before he arrived here.. RL has to explain why we have gone soft and re...

1998 a coach is sacked who got us to a GF and playing with flair and passion. 2008 a dud of a coach is taking us backwards toward ???? Look on the bright side; we'll get the spoon in 2010 and then narrowly miss the GF by a kick in 2014 and sack our coach in 2016 just to keep the ball rolling!!! Let...

Out LYON In BURKE Sounds great. However it would be very surprising to see Lyon shown the door before seasons end. Probably more chance of winning Powerball, but you can only but hope. Yep lets give the players more excuses. Normally I am with you Plugger, but not this time. He doesn't have the bal...

No Run, No Passion and No Hope of playing finals football. The team is not enjoying their football under LYON and there is absolutely no hint of passion in the team - apart for the obvious Harvey, Hayes and Hughton. It is time for LYON to re-think his negative game plan of zoning and tempo football...

Im up for it. Rooy to back pocket, Kosi roving, Hayes into the ruck, Harvs to the retirement home and Dempster captain.

Thanks but no thanks

I certainly bloody hope so. Total softc*ck. Not worth a pinch of sh*t in pressure situations. Had so many chances and continues to be less than mediocre.

And he plays in front of Armitage can someone explain that to me

Thanks for scores guys are we that bad ,any one putting their hand up or what,beside 35,as usual

Just logged in ,dont sound good.Scores?

Now is not the time to cut Charlie Gardiner...a hard-working mobile forward has a poor week or two and then goneski? Yet Jones gets a recall? But Allen is left out? And Dempster/L Fisher/Blake are retained? And McEvoy is still in the VFL? I wish I could be critical and furious, but increasingly, I ...

Hard one to answer that.In hindsight aLOT of things should have been done different ,on and off the field.Unfortunately you cant change history
