Re: Do we need to extend Lyons contract now?
In the last 12 months I have never ever said that I ‘hate’ the guy. Since he was appointed the new St Kilda coach I have never used that word to describe Ross…and…
I was (and will continue to be) one of the most vocal questioning his status as a ‘great’ coach.

Re: Do we need to extend Lyons contract now?
To answer the question posed in the OP. ("Do we need to extend Lyons contract now?") I'd say No. (for all the reasons I've already outlined in previous posts) This doesn't (I believe) make me a "RTB Hater" just someone who believes it's a bit early for such a decision. Others may disagree.
St Kilda forever ( God help me)

Teffers
I reckon Ross could s*** on your kitchen table, and you’d grab a Knife and Fork
You’re so blinkered it’s hard to take you seriously
Ross is going to win 11/12 games this season
Which is what we won last season
What has he done that’s been so great?

Re: Do we need to extend Lyons contract now?
Ross has already equalled last years shyte show
Without MULTIPLE blow outs
With far greater injuries
Still pumped games into kids
Raised standards from low levels (you agreed with)
And we aren’t out of the 8 or finals just yet..
Do that last one and I think you might be eating the turds …
Done plenty and hasn’t had this team for a full offseason yet

Re: Do we need to extend Lyons contract now?
There has certainly been some positives with regards getting games into the young guys and you are right in that out ladder position isn’t disgraceful however as a measuring scale our ladder position might not be truely reflective of where we are at with regards to knowing how much of a rebuild is needed. This because of the performance of the teams from 5th to 15th who haven’t performed well themselves. It’s been a peculiar season from that aspect but it misguided the average fans because the media are required to sell it as an “even” competition.Teflon wrote: ↑Wed 09 Aug 2023 10:49pmRoss has already equalled last years shyte show

It’s been a reasonably even comp for sone years - AFL want that
What I do know is when we fall away this year we are getting smacked anywhere near like we did last season …I think that’s in part due to coaching and a discernible structure plus kids (who sone are tiring) have performed admirably
Our “senior players “ ….less so ..apart from Crouch Sincs Marshall Wilkie think they’ve stood up

Re: Do we need to extend Lyons contract now?
Methinks your tongue was firmly in your cheek with this topic Teflon - if it was your intention to provoke some spirited response about Ross Lyon this early in his tenure then you've certainly had some fun.Teflon wrote: ↑Mon 07 Aug 2023 10:57pm It’s a serious question
We have major list/re-build work required and with a poor draft this year and Tassie coming …..will the great man need longer to destruct and reconstruct our brittle, fragile list????
He’s good but can’t work miracles
I think he’ll need at least another 2-3
FWIW I can't think of any previous senior coach with a four year term being offered an extension in his first year, and I doubt very much this will be something that will appear on the Board's agenda until 2025 at the earliest.
Lyon appears to me to be comfortable and relaxed about his current terms and as he has stated himself, is fully invested in taking St Kilda back into becoming a serious contender, and in Walsh's words 'make St Kilda relevant in the competition again'. As he said in his first press conference, he sees his task as completing 'unfinished business'.
As a long term supporter I take this as a rallying cry and back him 100% to achieve this very worthy objective.

Idiotic proposition.
Someone must be worried about their drip feed of information from RESA Park suddenly stopping, hence all the irrational fan boy posts.

Doesn't take a genius to realise your OP was an attempt at trolling or as SaintPav posted an "Idiotic proposition".
I would have said f****** crazy and most fair posters would agree with me.
Thankfully, the Board ain't crazy.
ps Saintpav's internet friends group is far far bigger than yours, madam.
