Re: If Lyon was our coach
Have we changed/sacked recruiters?
Riewoldt and Goddard to live up to their reputations ,Clarke and Ray to defy theirs in 2012!
Re: If Lyon was our coach
Yes we lost Peake and got Elshaugh. He was in charge at the start of the 2010 draft.

Re: If Lyon was our coach
Stupid thread..Lyin is not our coach...we didn't offer him enough coin to cover his losses....
If he was our coach we'd have another batch of useless rejects on our list....

How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ?
Re: If Lyon was our coach
That was entertaining to be honest.
So many sub plots to keep it interesting.
Lot of feeling in that one, must of been the heat.

Re: If Lyon was our coach
"If Lyon was our coach" and coaching our team, we would have just beaten Geelong. Mind you, we didn't miss by much in round 1 last year - with Ross Lyon as our coach. Rossie didn't jump ship because we were about to win the flag.
Expect a big loss tomorrow - we will be lucky to kick 8 goals with that forward structure. Nick is finished as a forward but has 3 years left as a top AFL player - on the backline (you don't lose your skills). He can no longer run as he used to, nor can he jump. It happens. I've seen it ten times before in the last 50 years. Unless you adjust, you're dead. Brendon Goddard is in no man's land in terms of his head - and position. He needs strong direction and a defined role - at full back. Once we settle the backline we can start to advance.

Re: If Lyon was our coach
Wanted Geelong to win and was disappointed. Freo looked VG...It's going to be on for young and old come round 4 and we'll struggle.

I don't doubt they will play good footy this year, strong more contested footy, it's just if they can sustain that intensity.
Millys seems to think so

Scarlett must get a min 4 weeks. Don't know what his record is so how would you know. Best punch since big bad's. In saying that I now understand why other supporters hate Milney. Ballantyne is so punchable and also so much like Milne.

Re: If Lyon was our coach
He did for most of the time, but they seemed to change a bit (it's why I hate warching games on TV) depending on how far up the ground the forward played. They tried, and succeeded, to get Luke McPharlin out of the play. Memo, Scott.Moods wrote:Funny. I thought he played on Pods?
