how much of our previous losses were due to injuries to key players at key times? Sydney and WCE were able to win on the back of having their star gun players fit and available at Finals times during the year. Sydney were bemoaning the loss of kennealy and hall as critical, wce were basically missi...

Must be a great incentive for Watts and Co...knowing they won't get a gig no matter how well they do, or how bad their competition does..... Then again Lyon has his favourites.........that much is obvious......CJ....cough, cough :roll: I agree. Find me a coach who doesn't have favourites though. Fr...

Interesting comments by Schwass about the physical demands of the gameplan. That is why our players need a massive pre-season at the end of this year. I think Lyon has recognised this problem though, and has been using Fiora on the ground for the whole of last quarters ... Fiora is fresher for not p...

In response to your comments re: the gameplan meher baba ... you said in another thread that none of the Lyon supporters have responded. I don't disagree with how you have described it. All I agree with is the fact that, when executed properly with confidence and a fit 22, it works. It has worked fo...

Some interesting points IMO: Sounded the most relaxed and confident I have heard him. Was joking at one stage and was coherent and expressive. Was happy with our pressure and effort last week. Said that there were 134 tackles in the match, which is very high. Thought we butchered the footy in the la...

Geez, you are all far to generous IMO. They have all had it except maybe G and Gardiner. We need to make some hard decisions on blokes like Mark Williams did at the end of 2005. Q: Are these players finished? 36 - Robert Harvey................ YES (saddens me to say it, but he won't be part of our ...

Fair enough carn_sainter. From when I did the reasearch for the original post, the team with the highest average games per player was Sydney with about 100 ... The lowest was Carlton with about 60 ... That is a significant difference ... the Saints were abouut 85. Really, I was not trying to excuse ...

With the emergence of Gilbert, BJ or Chips to HF?
Just looking ahead a bit ... We have seen the emergence of Sam Gilbert this season, and he has become an excellent player for us. He is capable of playing key defence on a tall forward for the opposition, but is equally damaging with his run off the half-back line. In the long-term, he will become a...

so you arguing that we have some young developing of players coming through? Almost. In 2004 and 05, we had developing players coming through - Joey, X, BJ, Grammy, Chips, Fish etc. Now those developing players are in our team each week. And they are still developing. And yes, we've still got devel...

What experienced players have we lost in the last few years that haven't been replaced with equivalent or better players? My point was that the players who have come in as replacements are equal in ability, but inferior in experience and development. I believe that at AFL level footballers are not ...

Meaningless when you look at Hawthorn and Port Adelaide with 16 and the Kangaroos with 13. It shows what ou can do with a game plan where the players are encouraged to take risks and a little self belief. All those sides have been coached by the same person for at least 3 years. In Port's case, the...

If you look at the game in a positive light: Sydney received 4 goals from free-kicks, at least 2 of which were questionable. Additionally, they received 2 goals from blatantly incorrect decisions (a mark paid that shouldn't have been, and a terrible holding the ball decision). Add Xavier Clarke's aw...
