The motto was dead the minute Ross Lyon walked into the club.

How do you know DC is a great developer of talent? Know him well?? I’ve known him for a long time, having played under him. A nicer bloke you’d never meet!!! Very good leader and footy coach - especially at local level. Very professional! If you refuse to quote at least repeat names in full so othe...

I've been saying from the get-go we should never have appointed Dal Santo. He's not a coach. He doesn't have a clue. Classic jobs for the boys. The reason our women's team is shithouse is that the club gave them to him as a toy for him to play with. In all honesty, how dare they. If they're determi...

Dear god. Have you watched us play? We have no system whatsoever. We're playing 'Have a go' football!

Apparently Battle was asked not to attend the Best and Fairest. What are peoples thoughts on this. Widely reported in the mainstream press. Very disappointing Saints. Why? He obviously has just taken a huge dump in all his so called mates mouth. No, he changed employers as he most likely believes t...

This stupid Dal Santo indulgence has got to stop. He is not a coach. For god's sake. We have no system whatsoever. The players just fling themselves at the ball or more often the ball carrier. How more fingers and arms don't get broken I don't know. We dumped one of the most experienced coaches in t...

I will miss Asiu's posts too. I'm bound to say I rarely had a clue what he was on about but he raised a smile from me on a regular basis - and you can't beat that. My condolences to his family. RIP.

Sam Mitchell is going all right.

Somebody on here picked him out as a junior before we recruited him. Can't remember who - but well spotted, that man!

I like Sharman as a forward but hasn't the club been developing him as a replacement for Battle?

I know his time's up but I'm sorry to see him go like this. Would've liked him to be able to stick with us till he retired. Mind you, it happened all that time ago with Winmar. God, I hated seeing him run around in a Bulldogs jumper.

Er Teffers, you forgot to change your handle before posting your backup post to yourself.

(Great post, Freely - you is da bomb!)

Byrnes is Lyon's ideal footballer. 100% role player with 110% commitment. Hard at it. Will keep going however many ribs you break and on one leg if asked. Don't hold your breath to see him out of the 22.

200k? In their dreams!

Battle has requested to run through the banner this weekend with his kids. I reckon that tells you all we need to know about what’s going to happen. I hope the club denies the request. He can f*** off as far as I’m concerned and take his big fat paycheck with him, but don’t expect everybody to give...

Back to what this thread started out on - the content of GT's post - and loosely on what this thread's gone on to be about... IMHO GT was very good at developing promising players into leaders and clubmen. I would guess his comments are based on his ability to do that. Unfortunately, our record on p...

He hasn't got to be good at everything if he's the best at what he's good at.

No s***.

Sry- didn't realise you were joking!

Hardly a dead rubber - they can cement themselves inside top 4.

I sort of get it but it's a bit daft. I mean, who's gonna come marching in? The Sts?

Hard to maintain the umps/AFL v saints narrative with frees so markedly in our favour!

Furthermore, the dot below the T has always annoyed me, it’s incorrect, there’s no dot in St Kilda.

I suppose you know that 'st' isn't a word.
