I love this club
Same here Bratty, could understand if the club hadnt of changed the offer. BUT if Ross left even with a better offer from the club on the table then that is a stab in the back!saintbrat wrote:I'm notStillwaiting wrote:Gotta say bratty, I am do dissapointed on the club

Ross id going to Fremantle. It looks like his decision to stop coaching at St. Klda is linked with Fremantles sacking of Mark Harvey.
Harvey was at a Fremantle club breakfast function this morning and was reviewing the player list after.
5 Hours later he was sacked. Timing seems to be everything here!!!

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Rubbish. The club has done nothing wrong.they resigned him when we were struggling. He still had a contract and was offered four years more. Lyon has done the dirty on the club and its playing list.
He can go get stuffed. Will renew my membership tomorrow in support of the club. FQF
The club is bigger, will always be bigger

Wouldn't make a decision to move to the other side of Australia in under 24 hours. Been happening behind the scenes.

My guess is that the appointment made mid way through the year of Chris Pelchen to the position of Head of Football, a person to whom Ross had to report eventhough he is the coach, might have had something to do with it. Just a guess though.Junction Oval wrote:Something is very wrong !! Clearly things have not not been right within the Club and Ross has said - I am out of here !!

Thanks Ross Lyon got the team to Grand finals in consecutive years. You were able to get the best out of most of the team. You were handed a good core team and you built around them to almost deliver but you didn’t, so you failed. I am disappointed that now that you got what you wanted out of the saints you leave when they need you most. If you were looking for a challenge what more could you ask for?
You must have made the deal before the finals.
Thanks for nothing!
