Now that there's a pile on started, I recall something RTB said in his media interviews last week after the Hawks game - or maybe it was after the North game.
He said the sports guys told him Marshall needed to come off the ground and Steele was due for a rotation and "I made the call to leave them out there".
I watched the replay of the Carlton game and the coach had both in the centre at most centre bounces and stoppages in the 3rd and in the last quarter. That's too high a workload.
Steele was good with some important chase downs and tackles in the last quarter, but there was no spark. No freedom. We were hunting to defend. They were hunting the footy
Anyway...point being....coach has admitted he makes the call to do these things. Leave players out there, even though they are due for a rest.
So... It's not inconceivable that Lyon made the call once too often in Q1 and Q2 and Q3 and both Steele and Crouch had nothing left.
RightoWatch the RTB fanboys come at me and dismiss that explanation
FQF
11 touches for the game and poor Jack needs a rest
Heard it all now…
What other batshyte weird theories you got in your Lyon kick bag?
It’s kinda twisted but funny all the same ..

Lyon wanted him head to head ….in the end tried Sinclair to nullify
Steele had 11 for the whole game …I could understand if he tagged but he wasn’t

It's obvious to all (including the commentators that Steele had a role to fulfil). That's the nature of the bloke coaching. 'Ryan Crowley' ring a bell...maybe Clint Jones ring a bell??
Only a muppet would think that Steele was hunting the footy first
Only a muppet doesn’t realise Steele isn’t an attacking mid - have a look at how many times he’s second to the ball????
How many tackles he lays cause he’s SECOND to the ball???
Are you that slow??

There are four pages of content on your profile directed at Byrnes that read as though written by a four year old child with learning difficulties. Moronic, illiterate drivel! These gems are from the first half of page 1.

Over 21 games that’s a lot of apparent constant bagging.
Stand by it he’s a liability his skills aren’t up to it.
Far different to suggesting a player isn’t trying or lazy or disinterested.

It’s almost as repetitive as your umpire abuse.
Here is some more, I could keep posting this crap all night there is so much of it.
Umpires are cheating, Byrnes is a liability and s***, repeat, over and over again like a retard, but not a cool savant style Rainman like character.
But go ahead and call out other when they knock players, at least they are not hypocrites.

Again no mention of attitude or laziness or willingness to perform. Or character.
Simply observing game play.

His effort is there but he simply doesn’t have the polish or smarts to be a reliable AFL standard player. He makes far too many basic errors.

Yes I understand that and that’s been the problem all season. Ideally McKenzie as his overhead wirk is beneficial to our defence.

Re: Wilkie should be our 2024 captain
Curly said Byrnes is no good and disposal terrible, e.g. he hardly ever kicks to a team-mate or at least to our advantage.
That's something I agree with- he can get a lot of the ball, but sometimes kicks accurately. But not enough.
Higgins disposal poor.
True, he's not reliable, and if he's not accurate now at his age, he'll never be.
Also, he can be selfish, but in his position he needs to be greedy like Milne.
Problem is, he ain't Milne 2.0.
We've seen him get 4 or 5 goals.
But he's purely a downhill skier.
I rate Butler a little higher for fwd pressure, as he chases, harrasses, keeps at it, at least doesn't drop his bundle. Higgins does. Often.
Trade Higgins. 3 yr contract? Then let him wear those ugly Zebs colours until he can learn another trick or 2.

Re: Wilkie should be our 2024 captain
Explain to me
1) what a captain does that’s so important?
2) what is it Steele doesn’t do?
It is the MOST OVERRATED thing in footy
Even more so than the coach!
