Re: What needs to happen to settle down the defence again?
Watters, by contrast, is just looking to tinker. Part of that tinkering involves returning our pressure levels to those of 2009, not teaching us anything new. The other part involves continuing what Lyon began in the second half of last year when we became, at some cost to our defensiveness, one of...

Re: What needs to happen to settle down the defence again?
SAme as excuse in '07. Settling in new coach/gameplan. That is a false analogy and a lame excuse. Lyon radically overhauled our game plan to turn us into premiership contenders and taught our players the forward press when no-one had ever heard of it. Beginning in 2010, Worsfold studied St Kilda's ...

Re: What needs to happen to settle down the defence again?
we are due a rebuild What do you mean "due"? Last year we finished 6th - with Kim Duthie. Without Lenny. With Riewoldt a broken man. This year Lenny is back. Riewoldt's feeling better. Goddard's hip is fixed. Ledger Crippa and Sipa are into their second year. There's Ross, Saad and Milera...

Re: Which Senior Saint done himself a hambo?
Lyon genuinely loved playing Ledger Cripps and Siposs and, but for their injuries, would have given them more games.
Those three had a great start last year.

Re: David King says we're stuffed...
Good luck finding a new spine with a head of football who clings to Polo Peake and Ray in preference to a 25 year old Key Tall Backman and then tops it off by saying "we've kept everyone we wanted to keep".bobmurray wrote: couldn't handle the thought of having to find a new spine

Re: David King says we're stuffed...
If our backline is stuffed, why is it stuffed? To paraphrase Spinner - it's because Pelchen decided that keeping all of Polo, Peake and Ray was more important than ditching one of those to pay market value for Dawson. Gwilt missed the last 8 games of 2011. Yet no-one said our backline was stuffed. ...

Re: Match ups for
Once the season clicks in, it's about the teammates buying in, the defence working hard for one another.

subtle swipe at his predecessor. but lets not open that can of worms again. Fair point by Watters. When he wants to be sure he's making a "fair point", Scotty loves quoting Rossy: Rossy: "I think people are naive to think I just sit there and prepare on a weekly basis, and don't plan...
