To every one that craps on about Lyon...

[dragit]

Keep crapping on about him,his stocks have just gone thru the roof,
Can't say he hasn't got them playin an exciting brand of footy.
Even if they get thru and lose next week, what an amazing turn around from that club.
I always thought letting him go was a shocking mistake IMO .....

We didn't let him go Greg T.

He got a $1million dollar singing on fee. The Saints could not compete with that.

The guy had debt. He needed a way out. But yeah, we let him go if you say so.

C'mon Pav, if we'd given him an unconditional 3 year deal 6 months earlier he'd have signed with us... The pharking around with clauses meant no security.

I still think we needed a fresh start though, not unhappy he has gone.

Yeah sure but both parties put it off didn't they?

I personally over heard a board member tell his mates that other clubs would get into Ross big time. He also said that the Saints were keen to sign him. That was in Aprill 2011. I don't know what happened after that but they were not blind to it.

Freo are the real deal
Good players on every line. 3 gun tall defenders over 194cm.
Not a single dud or 'role player'
Mcqualter or eddy would never get close to getting a game.

A very good side, but definitely not the most talented.

maybe we are seeing what he could have done when he doesn't have to rely on role players to fill out his list..

[Cairnsman]

RL should send Mark Harvey a text to thank him.

[Greg T]

RL should send Mark Harvey a text to thank him.

For what...
Harvey was a spud,otherwise Freo wouldn't have got RL.
Fact is Freo in the GF ...cop that Harvey IMO

Is that the same Harvey Essendope are looking at for next year

Mark Harvey couldnt clean Lyins boots

That said a friend if mine is close with a current high profile player manager and his comment was what Lyon did to St Kilda was disgusting ..

I'm barracking for Hawks for that alone but shyte he can coach a team.

Still intrigued to see if he could've rebuilt us - we'll never know and I do reckon our board stuffed around intentionally or not is the question

Thanks for that complete rubbish game plan you were trying to use before I came…following that, I am seeming like a pure genuis... cheers

[WinnersOnly]

I wonder how Nettlefold & his board are thinking now after they let the best coach in the league leave?

[SaintPav]

Lyon v Harvey: obvious who is the much better coach but they have something in common. Both have ultimately done sweet f a

[SainterK]

Admit I didn't see a thrashing tonight, not cause I don't rate Lyon, I'm just used to the swans being in the contest

[SainterK]

I wonder how Nettlefold & his board are thinking now after they let the best coach in the league leave?

You reckon we were a chance to keep him?

[The Redeemer]

I wonder how Nettlefold & his board are thinking now after they let the best coach in the league leave?

I met Nettlefold years ago and thought he was a jive talking tossbag, nothing has changed.

[spert]

I wonder how Nettlefold & his board are thinking now after they let the best coach in the league leave?

What coach was that?

[Cairnsman]

RL should also send a text to Clarko and ask him for a few tips on how you win a flag.

[SainterK]

I found myself thinking "how'd we let him go" tonight...

Then I remind myself of his personal situation and know he was no chance to stay.

He was head hunted, with bucket loads of cash, ultimately we were not even in the picture.

[Wayne42]

Nettlefold is all right, he was a a GOP as a player, hence, he wasn't a one club player, he went to whoever wanted him, we haven't turned to crap under his stewardship, it's just that some don't like him, probably those that remember him as a player..

Lyin had an agenda, Nettlefold didn't, Ross has fallen on his feet at Freo, good luck to him, i hope he wins it..

[SaintPav]

I'm heard some weird things about Netters as well and from people who know. It runs in the family apparently.

Problem is that there is zero transparency and accountability on board performance and decision making.

For example, was the club challenged at all at the 2011 meeting on the handling of RL? NO it was not.

It's a big big problem.

What other avenues are there to challenge the club?

[Spinner]

Clarko absofarkinlutely is way better than Lyon. By a huuuuuuge margin.

Based on what?

To be fair, he built his own list...

Ross Lyon coaches Fremantle. Remember them?

[BigMart]

Nettlefold had a year to get Ross's extension done, if you snooze you lose.

How you could let a grandfinal coach walk out uncontracted, with a ridiculous clause in his contract is just that... Ridiculous!

It looks like the most inept decision made in the history of the club (followed by Seaford) right ATM?

[SaintPav]

Nettlefold is all right

Who says?

How do you know he's not a dud?

He hasn't done alright at all. We have gone backwards.

[Moods]

RL should send Mark Harvey a text to thank him.

Thank him for what? Being a crap coach, and highlighting how much better Lyon is? You're right. He should.
