Firstly, I don't like the use of the word retard. I also know where many would place the blame of Collingwood stealing the Saints IP. Thanks SainterK. I hate that word too. And the IP issue can be ignored: it's immaterial. Glad to see your objections are confined to these stylistic and tangential p...

have to remember that he still had another year on his contract Skeptic, this was not a normal contract. As I wrote in another post: "Those who accuse Ross of being "duplicitous" for talking to St Kilda and Freo at the same time are being silly. Ross was a free agent. He was free to ...

crippa2sipa The only thing laughable is what you wrote on Big Footy. "As soon as contract talks with Freo began, Ross and his manager (Craig Kelly of ESP) - who also manages Mark Harvey - mutually agreed to terminate their relationship as a conflict of interest had arisen." This is 100% u...

What you are saying is unclear, Redeemer. If you think he lied, spell it out. What fibs?

All things considered I was a huge fan of Ro$$y's time at our club. That said, how Ro$$y left does not sit well. I think that it is important for the club to sort this out, rather than us just say he's gone now and we should move on, coz as we know those who don't learn from the mistakes of history...

My problem with Ross is that he damaged his image by the way he went about it. If it had been all above board his integrity and honesty wouldn't have been questioned. A bit like a husband asking for a divorce then moving in with a new woman that night. I always backed Lyon's version of the Luke Bal...

Tonight Ross Lyon admitted that after the an intial contact during the season where he told Fremantle that he wanted to put conversations on hold but when asked when he commenced discussions ROSS LYON nominated "the 4th" - which I assumed to mean Sunday the 4th of September - 6 days prior...

Vacuous - if that's not a great memory then please let's swap!
Brilliant summary.
Much appreciated as I wanted to watch but couldn't.

I remember an email from Mods urging people to ignore trolls and they may go away. I think the time to apply this to Clarky449 and other Ross Lyon worshipers is well overdue! Yeah - because we should all hate the best living coach in the history of our club. Listen you lot - I move we ban all worsh...

Thank you for that entertaining post.
Are you really that stupid or just pretending?

It's ok to admit you're wrong.

Dont take it so hard please.

Thanks saintspremiers old chum.
Love your posts xxx

Dear BackFromUSA,

Thank you for that entertaining post.

Anyone with a half a brain and a little application (whether they had any inside info or not) could work out in two seconds flat that your sources are talking through their collective rectums.

65% winning record at our club speaks for himself. The overwhelming majority of Saints fans did not want him to leave. 60% 63% actually. Not sure what you're trying to demonstrate by nitpicking over 2% when the plain facts are these: 1. Ross is the greatest living coach in our history. 2. His winni...

Old Mate wrote:Didnt one of the players say theyd done three times the amount of skill work than last pre season?

I should jolly well hope so. We've got three times the number of coaches we had last pre-season and they're not being paid to look pretty.

I assure you that Jesus Christ himself, had he barracked for St Kilda, would have done no less than what Ross did on that day. Maybe he'd have done more - like make the gory details more widely known than they currently are. Maybe he could walk on Watters Haha! ...There is that teansy weansy worry ...

Was Lyon put out by the Pelchen appointment? Not enough to prevent him from entering into a contract with us - which he did, despite having got the call from Freo. But yes, there were lies and deception surrounding the Pelchen appointment. Doe anyone really expect Lyon and his camp to say anything ...

I am curious, why didn't he say to Michael, I am only going to sign the contract we have been negotiating and not this modified version? Did one persons actions hurt him that badly, that he was forced to walk out on the club and players? There were lies and deception before this. This was simply th...

Leo.J wrote:We'll see how good he really is.

He's had 2 pretty good lists now, if he doesn't win a flag at Freo he may as well be Rocket Eade.

... or Terry Wallace.

Haha - he'll never be Rocket Eade (thank God). Ross's wife is so much better looking!

Anyway if the guy didn't want to be at the Saints why bother? We have Scot Watter now, and we should move on. This I agree with Forgive me for saying so (it's just an observation), but your continuing need to invent theories as to why Ross left and his supposed psychological motivation for doing th...

Got nothing to do with style of play. there is someone on this board that knows Lyon personally. that poster PM'ed me last year and told me Lyons side of the story. If that person want to tell the general footy forum, thats their call. It isn't mine. Sorry, it isn't huge, and it still doesn't detra...

We will see a very intelligent man talk. KNows what he is saying. Freo are lucky to have him. Spare me. The way you guys carry on he is some kind of molecular physicist and just cured cancer for fun. It will go something like this: Mike: So Ross, you know I have to ask, Do you have any regrest abou...

Ross Lyon is smart enough to tweak his gameplan, which we saw during last year. We saw the team play on and take the game on alot more. Ross Lyon identified what was needed to change. We lost games because the players werent good enough and may be on the down. So Mr Lyon-lover, can you explain the ...
