Like Paul Chapman in the 09 Grand Final you mean?

Like Aker in 2002?

Like playing bj with a broken collar bone in 09?

Not sure Armo and Jack in 2009 and 2010 could be compared to those stars.

I reckon if Scott had left out Vardy, the Cats would have still won the flag, just a hunchâ€¦

What the hell did Vardy contribute to the flag?

Yep Eddy was a disgrace. Surely with a broken arm he could have done more.

Took injury in to game, not blaming him just the bloke who put him out there!

Dont think he took a broken arm into the game. Matter of fact he didnt.

Guess we will never know,pretty sure I read he took something significant into the game.i am not too good on computers/stats etc but would be interested to see a breakdown of Clarke's effective possessions vs TOG in 09 GF.Once again not dirty on the player just pissed off with him being left onn for so long,

You rotate mids these days. Once Clarke was picked and he deserved to be picked he had to play most of the game. It isnt 1980 anymore.

Don't want to be too argumentative but wasn't a half handy MID warming the pine for most of 2nd half?

Yep and as I said I think that was a mistake. Anyway to late know and looking for excuses doesnt make me feel any better about it..

whiskers3614 · Fri 09 Dec 2011 8:10pm

Not looking for excuses,just a little annoyed at the mass adulation on these pages accorded to a coach who did a GREAT JOB getting us to GF's but I believe made some monumental blunders on the day(which some on here will not concede)

Ross did a great job in installing a new gameplan and a new found commitment in the team. He made some mistakes but Ross was one of the first to admit he did.

Must just be me then. Never warmed to the bloke's public persona, felt his shortcomings were always glossed over.also think not enough credit given to predecessor for grooming/maturing squad Lyon took over.

I don't really care about trying to analyze what Grant did or what Ross did.

I care very much about what Scott can do however.

whiskers3614 · Fri 09 Dec 2011 8:42pm

Good answer! Look forward not back, won't be easy but I will try and get over my feelings towards Lyon hopefully in a couple of years it will be a case of Ross who?

What about the broken jaw he played with in the finals and the prelim. He was so weak that we had five on the bench to cover for him. Think he staed on the ground though.

Varcoe provided spark a few times in the game. He did a Milne-esque performance. Bobbed up and had a gun few patches and didn't get too much of the football for the rest.
