AUSSIE

[bergsone]

Anyone else hear the Aussie Jones interview on radio before the Freo game,came across very well ,words used about saints mentioned were disinterest ,no passion and negative mindset no players have improved in last 18 months .Maybe someone has a record of whole interview as i am only going on memory,but interesting observations from a coach in waiting maybe

[saintm]

Didn't hear it but I really enjoy Aussie's special comments for the ABC when he is on.

Could be worth a listen to ABC Radio's Sunday Inquisition at 12.00pm today as they sometimes replay highlights from throughout the weekend.

He would know. Have to respect his opinion. Still, others here will have you believe its ALL the list and RL is a gun. Its getting really tiring, besides being obviously wrong!

I think it's a combination of both- interesting to hear Nick say he had worked on the mental side of his game during the week- in particular his gola kicking

the interview;

Former St Kilda defender and Grandstand commentator Aussie Jones says he does not feel Saints coach Ross Lyon has the support of his players.

and he reckons he doesnt get the chance to practice shots at goal during the week....think he said because of the body?

WTF!?

the tendonitis of the knee i think
the prelonged kicking causes it pain
but in game situations its fine as hes not kicking 100 kicks

[matrix]

i dont expect him to have a 100 shots a night.

he can run, he can lead CONSTANTLY, he can kick around the ground.
im sure he does all that at training.

doing alright for a bloke with a bung knee then.

i mean really, does he need to practice ANYTHING other than kicking?
get the knee right, no matter what it takes....even if it means rest.
is he gonna save the season for us?
i doubt it.
lets get him right and look after him long term.



he did well on the show this morning...

have you ever had tendonitis ??
i have in both my accillies (sp?) the problem with the injury is that it feels fine then all of a sudden it flairs up roo could runn all day long and it not cause pain he could kick the ball 70 times and feel no pain but by kick 71 it will flair up . its not somthing that you can rest and it go's away i know i had pain for about 5 weeks then it gradually got less and less

[matrix]

i know what tendonitis is.

so leading and running constantly has a diff effect than kicking for goal?....
is what im pretty much asking.

hey im not bagging him at all.
im saying if its bad....get treatment or rest.

then again, i dont think we could afford to rest him if we want to actually make the 8.

[suss]

Interesting that he said he expects us to be out of the finals for the next 4-5 years. Sounds a little extreme to me.

musta been when i went to make a cuppa.

Does he mean we are going to be 4-5 away anyway or if we dont change things

[st_Trav_ofWA]

sounds like hes trying to push for the top job
i understand that things are not going well but come on aussie lets not sink the boot in we can all see the club has been lacking passion and our past drafting has been poor but 4- 5 years fair go !

As i said in O Ponly from memory,he didnt come across as he was trying to sink the boot in,but that is open to discussion

[saintbrat]

the interview transcript- puts it this way:

Jones says the Saints are playing "without a lot of passion and energy" and he questions whether they can challenge for a position in the finals during the next four to five years.

he 'questioned' but didn't say we couldn't

and personally they need to play for Both the 'coach' and the 'club'

I mean how many of us get along with our bosses all the time- But if we love our work we do it regardless- or even if we just do it for the money we find a way to enjoy it and make it 'feel' better.

[gooner]

Reckoned that because of using draft picks to top up and pick recycled players he felt we were gonna feel a lot of pain for the next 5 years.

[Duggie]

I wonder what he thought of his successor #5

Aussie at his MINIPULATIVE best he said "I am a passionate St Kilda person" then goes on to bag the daylights out of everything about the club and backs up Dal and Milne against the coach
Aussie if you are looking for a job at the club or a real coaching job, this is not the way to go about it, decent people see through these sort of comments, and its not the first time he has done this publically
It would have been good if you had said " well I think its great that the club has finally taken back control of the club away from the players who over the past 30 years have been able to get the coach sacked when they didnt like the way he is going about things"
Aussie remember the Prelim in 2005 mate, you shouldnt be criticising anyone....
I hope the club keeps you as far away as they can forever....looser LLL

He might not want to coach and as special comments person should say exactly what he thinks as GT does or because they ex Saints players they should lie about what they actually think and just toe the party line.

I dont want him to toe the party line, but have you heard James Hird bag Essendon, its pretty simple Aussie has no class, he has been at this bagging s*** every opportunity he gets...why not talk about the youth, the 3 players playing thier first game, how proud he is to see his old No5 going to a first round pick...
And you are right in your comments above "he and GT" peas in a pod..
and the Bombers have Sheedy & Hird....I rest my case

Didnt know Hird or Sheeds did special comments. What station are they on. Must listen to them next time they do an Essendon game.

I think he sould have said "I hereby award the premiership cup to St Kilda. Great club, great coach, great players, great to watch."

[brown-coat]

People here would call Aussie Jones a troll for comments like that!

Both Sheedy & Hird are in the media more than Aussie and as much as GT, but they dont behave the same way...
Aussie and GT have a choice as to how he answers questions, Aussie has taken every opportunity to bag the new coach and the club this year
