It's a pity Guerra retired. I thought he had the potential to be a Premiership player:oops:
This is just the first paragraph in a four part series and already there are two howlers. Who writes this? Who checks it?
Edit.
2nd paragraph.
And when did Jones retire?We’ve turned over 50 per cent of the list since I’ve been here and a lot of that has been forced with the retirements of champions like [Robert] Harvey, [Fraser] Gehrig, [Andrew] Thompson, Aussie Jones, [Justin] Peckett, [Stephen] Powell, [Aaron] Hamill and [Brent] Guerra
This is just the first paragraph in a four part series and already there are two howlers. Who writes this? Who checks it?
Edit.
2nd paragraph.
Was there a third game against the Bulldogs where we beat them? Or did the Bulldogs not make the eight.We beat everyone in the eight last year bar Geelong. The Bulldogs last year beat us twice even though we started quite well.

Whether Ross said it or not, it's a St.Kilda website and someone should be checking that what he says or what he is quoted as saying actually makes some sense.bigcarl wrote:who says it?kosifantutti23 wrote:This is just the first paragraph in a four part series and already there are two howlers.

As for Aussie, he played his last game in 2005. Over a year before Lyon came to the club. Why does he go on the list of players that have retired during Ross' time at the club.

I'm pretty sure if he said it and you are using quotes then you should say exactly what he said whether right or wrong.kosifantutti23 wrote:Whether Ross said it or not, it's a St.Kilda website and someone should be checking that what he says or what he is quoted as saying actually makes some sense.bigcarl wrote:who says it?kosifantutti23 wrote:This is just the first paragraph in a four part series and already there are two howlers.

Yes, if you are the Herald - Sun or The Age, but for a fluff piece on the Saints website you don't want to publish something that makes the coach look like a fool.plugger66 wrote:

Apart from Bulldogs gaffe I dont have a problem with what he says at all.kosifantutti23 wrote:It's a pity Guerra retired. I thought he had the potential to be a Premiership player:oops:

Hes saying hes turned over 50% of the list and a lot of that was forced (didnt say by him for ALL of these changes) so what?
Nope Guerra hasnt retired but perhaps hes saying its a forced change he mightnt have made had he been in charge?
Not much in it for me.

Does anyone else really like Ross Lyon's tone like me?
I love this stuff:
Does it bug you to hear people still say that the Saints just copied Sydney’s game plan when you became coach?
I don’t think anyone says that anymore. We kicked more goals in ’08 than ’06. The perception you still carry clearly, and others from the first half of ’07 is hard to change. I put my hand up and say we didn’t get it right in the first half of ’07. It gets a bit boring. I haven’t heard it for a long time but it’s an easy one to throw out.
INTERPRETATION: YOU'RE A f*****' IDIOT... THIS QUESTION IS TWO YEARS OLD, DON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE?
You’ve said over summer about the need to get more mid-sized forwards. Is that the main position you’re looking at developing?
We just wanted more players like (Sam) Gilbert and (Nick) Dal Santo who can play half-forward and midfield as well as half-back. We’ve recruited the 190cm types like Nick Heyne and Tommy Lynch. (Nick) Riewoldt and (Justin) Koschitzke are really tall and you have Milney alongside them. There’s Stevie Johnson and those types. Hawthorn has a few. The more flexible you are the better.
INTERPRETATION: I'M STILL A BIT ANNOYED AT YOUR FIRST QUESTION. AND THIS SECOND QUESTION IS STUPID. WE'RE NOT DEVELOPING POSITIONS AT THIS CLUB. THE POSITIONS EXIST AND WE'RE TRYING TO FILL THEM. I THINK YOU'RE REFERRING TO OUR DRAFTING TOM LYNCH, BUT I'M NOT GONNA GIVE YOU AN OUT BECAUSE OF YOUR DAFT FIRST QUESTION.
Is that position a higher priority than getting another tall defender or a midfielder?
They are tall defender height. Justin Leppitsch was about 192cm. How tall should a tall defender be? That’s what I ask you? What do you think? You asked the question. I’m not having a crack at you but you’re implying that they can’t be tall defenders. We think that Sam Fisher and Sam Gilbert are tall defenders for instance.
INTERPRETATION: WHAT POSITION? WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT AND ASK 'WHY DID YOU DRAFT TOM LYNCH?' ABOUT REPLACING AARON HAMILL? ABOUT TRYING TO FIND AN O'KEEFE, A THIRD TALL? SO NOW I'M JUST GONNA GIVE YOU AN ANSWER PURELY CRAFTED FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUING THE PREMISE OF YOUR QUESTION AND MAKING YOU LOOK STUPID.

Leigh (Tudor) has brought some modifications
to the ball use and a bit of structural stuff in the
forward line.
that's good news. i'm looking forward to seeing it implemented.
hopefully this will mean a scaling back of "numbers behind the ball"
so that we actually have a forward line to go to.
Leigh Tudor breeds confidence.
I have delegated more and I speak less
to the players than I did.

i think we look more effective with a forward line.
