Ross Lyon won't be at St Kilda after 2012..

One Eyed Saint · Sun 01 May 2011 12:25am

In my view this outcome is now as certain as death and taxes.

To give so much for the last 4 and half years and see the way we have disintegrated off field and on field must make him question if we really have the desire and will and commitment to succeed.

I hope that we get our s*** together off field and above our shoulders and things may start to turn our way.

Should Lyon decided to walk away next year (in some part due to the last 9 months), our club and playing group need take some responsility for this outcome.

Leadership comes from actions and not words.

It's now time to see who the real leaders are at St Kilda...

How do you figure that? Don't you think coaches like Sheedy and Malthouse have been in a similar situation...even RL himself when he started with the Saints? I highly doubt he's going anywhere, unless we lose every game this season!

Yes, regularly turning over coaches has been SOOOO successful in the past for St Kilda.

Ross needs to be given 10 years so he at least gets a chance to field a team that he has developed from scratch.

Well, I wish he F***ing would develop his players from scratch!!!

I don't think there's too many in the squad that he could lay claim to

One Eyed Saint · Sun 01 May 2011 12:38am

My point is that Ross Lyon will walk away from St Kilda and coach at another club if our club does not get it's s*** together off field

In the last two months Robert Walls and Paul Roos (both friends of RL) have commented to this effect.

We need RL to help rebuild but he may walk away.

And for those who think my opinions are crap offer an alternative or FO!!

Hmmm...interesting idea. When's he contracted until, isn't it another couple years? Not that contracts mean much. Sounds like Walls and Roos are sizing up a new job!

He's been recruiting experienced players only becuse he sensed we were not far off talent wise. He's wise enough to know that when the window is closing,you go for youth.

What a load of toss.

saintsRrising · Sun 01 May 2011 12:56am

If you have a good coach...you keep them..

However it is time for him to start thinking about the "next" St Kilda team though....chop those players who will not be part of it and start sifting through those that may be.

Silliest thing the Pies have done was to arrange Malthouse's demise.

So what are these so called "issues"?

That's just your opinion

One Eyed Saint · Sun 01 May 2011 1:10am

Yes - my view of the world

I hope he stays for many years to come.

If the wheels really fall off our season in the next 1-2 months then we will need to stick together as a group - something that hasn't happened for 9 months...

felixleo · Post: # 1067785Post **felixleo** » Sun 01 May 2011 1:12am

Walls won't coach again and Roos is the original Lyon. Wallace is always going to put his hand up so be careful for what you wish for.

SainterK · Post: # 1067790Post **SainterK** » Sun 01 May 2011 1:14am

To be fair, I thought managed to turn things around tonight when it looked long gone.

It's not our lesser likes letting us down at all, I'm certainly not looking at the coach with my angry eyes.

Lift senior boys, for goodness sake.

Well this is different from your OP first sentence.

We do need HIM to rejuvinate our list (playing 22 odd) and not bring in another coach.
He can coach - I reckon he has proved that.
Now we just need to use our resources, both Seaford and our people to develop our youngsters and recruit wisely.

Something had to give after the GF's and the second summer of drama and
unfortunately for all it has been the onfield performances.

I for one think they have had a mighty 2 years.
