If we need a Guerra we should have held on to the original

Re: Forum upgrade

The colours are dreadful.

Red on dark grey with a smallish font is almost unreadable.

How silly would Saints look if they appointed Mark Harvey; not good enough for Freemantle but OK for the Saints

Lat time Ross Lyon came from left field and worked out well

[quote="Legendary"]Follow EXACTLY THE SAME PROCESS AS LAST TIME. 60 candidates, shortlist interviewed by a panel of inside and outside experts, extensive psychological testing and profiling, presentations to the panel and finally a decision. Look at the result it produced - a bloody good c...

Roo up the ground provides the link when going forward and he runs his man into the ground; works far better than being parked at FF and manned up by 2-3 defenders.

When you are down in the hole it looks a long way up but it can be done. Think Hawthorn in 2010.

Too soon to think about sacking or re-signing the coach. Always best to wait till end of season when brain is working in detached mode.

I think best to stay with Ben and Kosi and hope that Kosi stays fit. On Monday there were definite signs that Kosi could add real value. Stanley to stay in VFL and learn the business for future days

In the EPL it is standard to rotate a strong squad to spread the load in a long season.

Is Ross Lyon pioneering this concept in the AFL?

It is pointless speculating about whether things would have been better / worse under Grant Thomas. Ross Lyon is the guy coaching the team now and he needs to be held accountable for success or failure. He could start by addressing 2 very obvious things (1) our tall forwards all lead to the same spa...

I do not think there is any need to make wholesale changes. But there does need to be some tightening up on the oppostion running out of their defence; the St Kilda Team is letting them run out fairly easily which means the ball is coming into our 50 far too easily and giving our defenders more work...

Tagging is something we need more of.

In the absence of Baker the opposition mid field is getting too much of a good thing.

Fevola will be a mistake

The last thing we need is a angry and confused type like Fevola. His talents are over whelmed by his attitude which will challenge the coaching staff and provide a bad example for the younger players. In any event we would be duplicating a tired structure with Fevola simply replacing Gehrig in the g...
