We Love Ross
I Love Ross Lyon. he got us to a grand final and gets the best out of most players
Even after trading our first pick ( quite worth it)
Not getting much for X Clarke
Delisting Matt Maguire
Not Giving Max the send off
Holding strong regarding Luke Ball
If this was any other coach, we would be calling for his axeing.... This just proves that this is the man for the job. We can see that he has done the right things, wants players playing for the right cause. Bring out the best in them all. Although not getting anything for the 3 above players, we are still in a fantastic position!!
The Fans Love The Coach... You cant ask for more than that. If the fans didnt like him, we would be in turmoil, or so it would seem, but he's done what is best for the club.
Made us look strong, make players do what they have to do get a game etc etc
Wouldnt you hate to be his wife!
Well done Ross, do what you think is right, ill back ya
Cheers

I have been following the postings regarding ball, X and Maguire eagerly. My brain says that the stance taken by Lyon and the club was correct, fair and courageous. If we have taken pick whatever for Ball in fear of losing him for nothing, the cave in would have haunted a generation of Saints officials at the negotiating table. We will have also created monsters by further emboldning rougue and bully clubs. We have done ourselves and weaker but fair minded clubs a favour.
But my heart has been troubled until I stumbled on the thought that I was realy in grief for the decimation of the magnificient 5 of 2001. Three gone just like that. A shock to my system.....

Sure you hate to loose 3 players like that, but remember, all because of injury.santazzi wrote:I have been following the postings regarding ball, X and Maguire eagerly.

Proud that we have stood up for ourselves. The club should stand up for what they want, no what Luke wants. Lyon said if players didn't want to do what is asked that they should walk. That is exactly what has happened.
Lyon is tough and thats what we need if we are to win a GF. Sometimes we won't like what he does, but we must have the faith that he is in a better position to make these decisions than we are.
As for his wife, having met Lyon up here last year, I found him to be humorous, a gentleman and very different to the Ross the Coach.
I think he wears his different hats very well, and improving with experience.

I agree. The importance of maintaining integrity in these negotiations cannot be underestimated. If the Club had rolled to the inadequate C'wood offer our acceptance would have haunted us in future negotiations.santazzi wrote:I have been following the postings regarding ball, X and Maguire eagerly.

Yep, huge Ross fan from day one. Partly well ok 100% due to the fact he took Milney off the trade table. But i've remained a fan ever since. He's taken us places and really should be the 2009 Premiership coach if not for inaccurate kicking which he had no control over.
I like how he demands the best out of every player and he's certainly got the best out of Mini and CJ who i never expected to be the players they are now. He's also considerably lifted the player's work rate and consistency (particularly Dal and Milne) and isn't affraid to show who's boss. I wasn't a fan of the defensive style game to begin with but i think the players have learnt the way Ross wants them to play and gel as a team.

Destiny. It's in our hands.
Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger.
Interestingly this morning on SEN the clowns "opened the lines" about Luke Ball.
I am sure they eagerly awaited the throngs of Saints fans bemoaning that we lost ball "for nothing" (to paraphrase that idiot Matt Thompson
)
the two Saints callers they allowed to air were fulsome in praise for the stance taken on Ball by the club, one enthusing about Lovett and peake, and the other basically saying that we have freed up the SC, had stood on our priciples, and while it was sad to see LB go, bad luck.
Seemed that Maher and co were pretty dissapointed they didn't get the usual nuffies stating the same old unthinking cliches, but then again they have Matt Thompson to do that.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

You mean no-one bagged Raph??? Sheesh some producer will get their bum kicked. First saints-related talkback on that shataion ever to be Raph-bash free!joffaboy wrote:Interestingly this morning on SEN the clowns "opened the lines" about Luke Ball.

I dont care we got nothing. I dont care that he has gone (it has taken me a day or so to get there). I thank him and wish him all the best.
The bigger picture for me is that RL and the club's actions are aligned with what they have been saying all along. TEAM and CLUB first.
I love that we didn't get pushed around.
I love that choosing to leave the club is a big deal, but not big enough for the club to go against its principles.
I love that managers think that RL has ice in his veins.
I love that other clubs and supporters are talking about us and liking us less. I hope they hate us. Because that would mean we are on top.
I love that there are no sacred cows at St Kilda. In the past Luke wold have been one.
I love where we are right now and can't wait for 2010.

Yes I remember. He played with a "guard" on his forearm that came in handy on occasions !!borderbarry wrote:For all you fans who can remember Ross running around in a Fitzroy jumper, he was a hard nut. Thankfully he still is.
At least he has that in common with Yabby. Uncompromising.
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Sounds like it is the way he conducts himself as a coach and leader of our club.
I reckon we have got ourselves a beauty.

Nobody is above critisism and the way we played last season was ordinary except for the second part of the year, but then slipped back in the finals.
We played very boring football.
This season was different and it was exciting to see us attack without the ball.
