Weapons up our sleeve for the finals

[CQ SAINT]

Ross has been given a reprieve. Now we are going to pressure the kids.

[Vortex]

Not sure where this Mitch is cooked narrative is coming from?

Last round: 17 touches, 6 tackles and 267m gained (5th in the team)

From observation, it's a finals match so the heat goes up considerably, will those average numbers cut it in a final, especially in the midfield.

Finals ready....we will see.

From previous form.

10 players over 15 disposals 3 over 25 and 2 over 30, are great numbers.

We don't have trouble getting our hands on the ball. From here, its all about efficiency. .

Marshall Wilkie and Sinclair have been delivering class consistently.

Crouch, Steele and Ross (let's hope he holds together) are due.

We have been pretty consistent. The kids just need to be average, which in the scheme of our chances this year, average has been outstanding and a great improvement on the older heads, we haven't seen so much off.

This final is our grandfinal, we shouldn't be on par with Sydney at this stage of our recent histories, and they are very lucky to share our position.

Lyon is our weapon. He gets the best out of teams in the finals. Unfortunately you need some luck to win the big one. I think it will be very close!

Ross has a 50% finals win rate with us, 44% with Freo.

That would put him 12th against all current coaches.

He has justified all the hype that was around prior to the Saints matching the bid by Sydney at pick number 33.

In only his second year, Owens is rated by experts and he came 3rd in the Rising Star award.

I'm backing him to be pivotal to our chances. If he and Marshall and our other KP talls can take contested marks and win their position, we can overcome their star studded midfield

I remember a few premature calls from some posters on here when Ratts decided to play Michito in Round 1 last year against Collingwood.

It took Owens a little while longer than Windhager to find his feet, but I think his value and his talent will shine through in the long run.

If your going to rank him with all the coaches, there has to be some credit for getting there and winning them consistently.

Change the ranking to finals won and see how he goes.

[CQ SAINT]

Haha. Sorry

Winning % is just finals won vs finals played. There's no stat for "shouldn't have made finals but played one and lost" but I do get your point.

For what it's worth Chris Scott is below Lyon in that stat.

In finals won its Clarko, Scott, Longmire, Lyon and Hardwick.

If we beat Sydney, Lyon will pass Longmire

totally and has carried a massive load for a young fella this season which has been super impressive, due to our injury crisis he's been asked to carry out roles well beyond his development and done it incredibly well for where he's at.

We have an explosive forward set up that just has not fired to anywhere near its potential. It's only a matter of time before it explodes on the scoreboard. September would be good timing. Set the fuses, torpedoes loosed, bombs away, artillery barrage them. Tally ho!
