So you wouldn't agree that the loss of 7-8 experienced players has had an impact? You would expect the same output from 7-8 relatively inexperienced players? I am not claiming that this is the sole reason we have gone backwards - merely that it is another piece in the puzzle that deserves some consi...

I agree it's frustrating Dan Warna. Lyon keeps saying he wants us to play fast-moving and direct football. Well we aren't seeing the results on the field yet. I will give him the benefit of the doubt until halfway through next year. If we aren't playing consistent footy over four quarters by that ti...

Actually Jeff Dunne, I was totally correct. The Bulldogs looked flatter than pancakes. They could hardly run at all and Melbourne completely destroyed them. I reckon you could see a certain amount of fatigue in our players after playing at the Dome four weeks in a row. My prediction is that we will ...

Yep rodgerfox, no doubt there are issues.

I'm sure Lyon is working hard to correct that, and I hope the results start showing soon.

Our midfield and defensive pressure has been poor since the Hawthorn game.

Re: Once again we barely score 10 goals in a game of footy .

I have been a supporter of Lyon, and in the long-term I still believe he will be a solid coach. Do you really believe this OWTS, or is it just a mantra? What did we see tonight (or last week or the week before) that suggests that Lyon is going to be a solid coach? I'm not trying to be argumentative...

As OWTS observed, we did lose Black and effectively Penny at the end of 2004, and Jones at the end of 2005. We also have had greatly reduced contributions from Gehrig, Powell, Peckett and Thommo from the beginning of 2006 and have been denied the best of Hamill, Kosi, BJ, Lenny, Maguire, Max, X and...

I guess a positive can be that most posters on here had written 2007 off when we were 4-7 after losing to the Kangaroos.

So to put ourselves back in it, albeit temporarily, has shown some character.

There was a thread on Xavier Clarke and three threads on Ross Lyon, one asking similar questions to yours.

Why not just ask Gehrig to retire? He is horribly out of form, looks disinterested and is at the end of his contract. He is not going to be a part of our next premiership side, so why one earth would you keep playing him? Especially when you have another key forward in the two's kicking 7 and anothe...

I agree with OWTS on most things, but this is one I'm sure we'll butt heads over, he's JA's biggest fan :P That honour might go to St Fid evertonfc, but I do rate Attard ... However, even in my biased state, I can see that Attard is badly out of form. So drop him. It ain't that hard to figure out. ...

Firstly, great thread meher baba. This thread will be moderated tightly, and anything irrational or overtly emotive will be deleted immediately. So, in summary, I do not believe that 2004-05 was our window. We were a pretty young and inexperienced team which would have needed better than a 60/40 sha...

Once again we barely score 10 goals in a game of footy ...

It's not good enough. Coach and players - they are in it together. You cannot win football matches with 9 goals. I could excuse it earlier in the year because of our number of injuries and the side we had on the park. But not anymore. Lyon, you are a disgrace. You were fundamentally outcoached tonig...

Beat ya to it Otiman.

Good to see Watts get back into some form and kick a few.

Vossy must be perilously close to selection ... he has been in the best for the Scorps every week since he was dropped.

Both St Kilda and Casey would have to be the most inaccurate teams in their respective competitions!

24 scoring shots to 9 at three-quarter time, and they are only four goals in front!
