Ross Lyon:

``We love Andrew (Demetriou) helping us because Andrew really discriminates and supports St Kilda more than any other club.

Loving Ross The Boss lately!

Apparently the umpires have already awarded 3 free kicks to Freo.

I particularly liked Ross's comments - "is he ever happy Harvs?"

They're a soft target that lot. I still love GT's 'Sirengate' comment when asked where he was when the incident occurred, in response to Connelly waving his hands around like a goose on the field: "In the coaches box, where I belonged".

I always fear the home crowd support effect on the umpires in WA, it's like a very strong wind advantage to our opponents for 4 quarters. Having said that, I was surprised at how well the Saints/Eagles game was umpired, considering some of their past efforts.

I've said before, I'm just not sure why Ross doesn't endear himself to many Saints supporters, I find him quite amusing.

He came across as a man who is very confident and pleased with the way things are going... what odds are we for Sunday??

Classic RL...enjoyed the read.

Wasn't Harvey the one who didn't want to be in interviewed by St Kilda when the coaching job was on the line? Didn't like the club enough to be interested...? Or am I remembering it wrong?

super dooper · Wed 09 Jun 2010 7:27pm

The AFL gave reasons why we had a chartered flight to perth last time, this time we're paying our own way, whats Harvey's issue?

Mark Harvey = Muppet.

Some of Ross' best work today in front of the cameras, had a little chuckle at the dinner table listening to him on ten news!

For some reason i am pretty confident about this weekend coming up.
Freo's younger brigade will be itching for a break - Hill, Morabito, Fyfe etc, along with the likes of Sandi who has played something like 91% time on ground this year which in the long run cannot be good especially heading into September.

I just think we're starting to get our structures right defensively and more importantly, offensively!

I hope we go over there and tear them a brand new one!

Could be why we got good character references on a certain 2010 recruit...

saintspremiers · Wed 09 Jun 2010 8:57pm

Must say isn't it great that Lyon can make a jibe about Dimwit helping us and not get canned like Thomas did......expect we still get screwed by the FIXture, so it's not all quite kosher yet

I am certainly enjoying him too and find him quite amusing at times. He has certainly grown into the role over the years. He had a bit of a siege mentality the first year or so. He was measured and not too over the top last year when things were going great, and the same this year when things have been difficult at times. He has become a real "saints man", something I think it took him a while to embrace fully.

stretching the old brain on this one !
their Messiah Carmen headbutting Boundary Ump Carmody in sheer frustration then getting 10 weeks or so at Moorabbin comes to mind , Was Sheedy coach then perhaps!

I know we absolutely flogged them (Dons) in a final at Waverley once and it was all over at half time with the stadiun half empty half way through the 3rd quarter

and Sheeds was always at his prickly best when playing for the Tigers against us, the mongrel!

but it's a hard one to pinpoint and perhaps some other old farts can throw some further light on it!

I know we always had spiteful games against them pre-Sheedy around "Mr Perfectionists" Jack Clarks era (hope he's no relation Clarky!!)
we used to target him often as he was a very cunning and a spiteful "scraper" who often would scrape his stops down our blokes shins in packs etc

Our senior players always were after him when we played the Dons!
We had quite a few blokes rubbed out for wacking him in those days including the Shaddow for memory, but it was very much pre-Sheedy in those days

I don't think there's anyone better at using footy vernacular.

He's hitting up short breaks, what else is he hitting up? He's hitting up a few things isn't he, drafting, injuries?â€™â€™ Lyon joked.

He would speak to his wife and kids like that, I have no doubt.

There's no other person in football I would rather listen to.

Ross Lyon is a legend.

He's ahead of his time. Nobody appreciates it.

Keep it up mate!
