The happiest players no doubt will be the ones that leave St kilda and go onto play in a premiership at another club! I just hope they include a thank you to Footy First in their premiership medal winning acceptance speeches! Do you ever have anything good to say? Only if it's about the past...Hey ...

As for Milne - I notice you didn't address that in my post. Lyon was the one who got the best out of him NOT GT. Wouldn't that have been a wise move in hindsight - trading Milney :roll: Unfortunately for Saints fans, we only have a limited amount of finals heroes. GT thought Milney wasn't mentally ...

Ayres was hopeless at AFL level. Took over at the Cats, took them from the top to the bottom of the ladder. Then did the same thing with Adelaide. Terrible record when he did play finals. His record as an AFL coach is shocking. I'd rather John Barker coach us than Gary Ayres. This proves my point a...

Weren't Geelong suppose to slip down and be lucky to make the 8 with an ageing list and new coach in 2011? Youth is the key. Geelong found some talented youngsters and the coach was prepared to give them a go. Put yourself in the shoes of our young guys last year and the year before. I betya Ross d...

Perhaps Lyon changed a bit as he got more successful and cocky. I must say, I was quite unimpressed from the start with his public pronouncements: a lot of weasel words and convoluted sentences to avoid getting to any particular point to which he could be pinned down. And a tendency to blame everyo...

Perfectionist; Legendary et en It's difficult to sack a guy with Lyons record, and maybe it was difficult for the board to demand change from him when the team came so close with him at the helm.

Re: Get off your high horse!
I think it is simplist to say he didn't develop the youth - if he had played them most likely we wouldn't have challenged for a flag. You can't have your cake and eat it. How soon and conveniently we forget... Why isn't it possible to develop your list and introduce debutants into the team, if you'...

What JM is saying - and what I'll spell out for you - is that you judge and assess people by results...close enough just doesn't cut it as far as coaches are concerned...No-one says Eade is a champion coach at present and the guy actually did ok over his career up 'til now... Sure Lyon gets a pass m...

As always, actions speak louder than words Max Hudghton- shafted, Luke Ball- shafted, Saints current playing group- shafted, and saints fans also shafted by the man.

This thread is a waste of time..just like the years Lyon was with our great club.

Instead, this morning, Collingwood (rather awkwardly) has two coaches, Fremantle one and St Kilda half of one. Or, to put it another way, St Kilda has a coach called Harvey, Fremantle has a coach called Lyon, and Melbourne has Lyon, but still no coach. It's that simple. Don't like the article but h...
