I'm not convinced Lyon is a good coach at all yet.
I think Lyon is doing well.
Same poster, and only 9 mins between posts. Amazing :roll:

So, our list is talented, and RL can coach. So we all agree now? Great, let's move on. :wink: I don't agree. We've played 1 month of good footy in 2 years. Even during that month, we still haven't played 4 quarters. The reason we've won, has been due to the efforts and ability of the following play...

The game plan hasn't changed it's just finally being executed properly. The massive midfield rotation Lyon has implemented is starting to pay dividends, we now have upwards of 12-13 guys going in there throughout the course of the game, and no longer relying on Bally and Hayes to do all the grunt wo...

We're not going to win games against anyone other than Melbourne and Freo if we can't kick more than 10 goals. He'll be back.

Re: Post Match Discussion - Freo game

Well you certainly can't complain about the players' effort tonight, but if it was against anyone but Freo (or Melbourne) we would have copped a spanking. Fremantle put in the most undisciplined, selfish, weak effort I have seen from any team in the past few years. Riewoldt - Probably played the be...

Why do people think list management is not part of a coach's responsibilties? It is one of his most important roles. It is his job to ensure the list does not fall back rapidly. Definitely the coaches responsibilty. Since Grant Thomas inherited a host of players due to the appointment of Blight and...

yes and in that 1.5 years he's brought in a heap of insta-retirees and good players have gone backwards or stayed stagnant.

Unfortunately i agree. We are better off playing the youngsters, hardly winning another game for the rest of the year and finishing as low as we can. The problem i see with us, is that we will continue to beat the rubbish below us (Ess, Car, Rich etc) and therefore finish as we have the past 2 seaso...

Once again the original poster compared Riewoldt's kicking to that of Fevola, Pavlich, Franklin and Hall.

This thread is laughable
Couldn't agree more. Riewoldt's goalkicking is about as reliable as the Melbourne train service running on time

Lets hope so. For a guy that surely knows his career is on the line, he was pathetic again. He did have alot of mates though.

That shot Riewoldt just had from 48m pretty much sums up how ridiculous those percentages are. Doesn't make the distance so therefore not included as a missed shot on goal. His kicking is terrible

i listened to the second half of the Carlton-Freo game today, and in that time FEV failed to score twice from shots at goal, and on another occasion just managed to squeeze it in for a point. Also PAV kicked one out on the full, and also hit the post from 25m out, directly in front, with the game o...

We never had such little improvement until Lyon took over. Every year we had a few players emerging from nowhere and a few reasonable players taking the next step and becoming guns.
