I thought you were in for the long haul, but you will forever by remembered as the coach who "couldabeen a St.Kilda Premiership coach", cost us Luke Ball and got us nothing in return and drafted poorly.
I hope you continue to keep Fremantly impoverished of success.

Didn't the d**khead cost us Max as well? Along with his vital knowledge.

No Ross was thinking of himself and self only - no one else. He is an egotistical narcissits of the highest order.
I cant wait til we play Fremantle next year - the Saints crowd will go ballistic!
Up until recently I thought that the fixturing gurus would have our one and only game over here in the west so that Ro$$ Lyin would not cop too much flak(Western Sainters would be happy to dish it out though) But having heard Dimitriopoulos' opinion of Lyin's integrity short-comings, I am not so sure.
Treated saints legends max and bakes with contempt. Disgusting that bakes never got a send off game. You would almost say lyon deep down hated the saints all along.
Speaking on this subject does anyone else think its weird that bakes came out last week and said he was not retired ? Maybe he and the players had an inkling back then ross might be gone next year so he might still hope he can get another year ?

So you actually wanted Bakes to play in a final just to send him off. This place has completely lost all logic. And you might not say he hated the Saints all along unless you have been shooting up heavily.
1s game next season should be us and the shockers at etihad ,then Demetriou should fly over all the Western Sainter to give the Judas Pelters, hope we are on the same flight as well
It May be the synic in me but Rattlesnake Ross didn't appear to do to well coaching this year when he didn't have the likes of SOS, Tudor etc. there to hold his hand on game day. Dare say unless he can snare some decent Assistants he may struggle again in Freo.
Was it Ross or was it the assistants that got us to the last 2 GFs?

Lyon spent all of 2009 publicly saying Ball was a hack (cant run, cant kick) then spent one week during trade week telling everyone he was a champ and he wouldnt trade him. So he spend 9 months dissing Ball - then once Ball had decided to go - he spent a week stuffing up the St Kilda footy club. You would almost think the guy was a double agent.
Ross Lyon said he could hold his head up high because he never used the word loyalty.
My question to Ross Lyon is, why didn't you use the word loyalty? It can only be because he either doesn't profess loyalty ever, or that he thinks that loyalty is less of a motivator and he has a better set of words that he uses to ingrain attitudes.
If it is the former, then we understand that Lyon is simply not a loyal person except to his family. We have to accept that. In understanding that, we can also understand that this dispassionate approach must also have permeated the player's attitudes. Teamwork is about being responsible as a group. Underlying that there must be a loyalty to SOMETHING. If that something is reduced to winning a flag, then he's forgotten the other half of the equation which is winning a flag for ST KILDA. Then again, that's the world we live in.
If it is the latter, then he has purposefully avoided one vital ingredient which contributes to passion. It's called the jumper.
Perhaps all of this is indicative of the fact that Ross really comes across as someone who has had a charisma bypass. No loyalty=not enough passion=less than spectacular charismatic motivator.

Rubbish Con.
Don't re-write history because he has cut & run.
He tried to get St Kilda the best deal possible... simple as that.
Next you'll say that it was Ross was in the room at Grammy's apartment impersonating Lovett.

yep...her's part of my post in another thread...
...reasons to hate the freo coach.....
"
1. luke ball
2. playing that girl zac dawson in front of maxie in the 2009 grannie......what was he thinking.????...dawson had been in hospital on a drip all day..
3. ball playing for the filth in the 2010 grannie cost us the flag. ...maxie's input to the filth on our game plan didn't help either.....both desertions were directly caused by lyon
4. abusing the players and support staff immediately following the drawn grannie...no wonder the players were down in the replay.....
5. deserting us for the money after"retiring" three of the players.
6. destroying our list and our future by not recruiting or playing young players....."

WTF?!?! I never started, nor previously posted in this thread. Someone (I'm hoping a moderator, not someone who has hacked my account) has played a little joke on me. However, I do find it hard to disagree with a lot of the sentiments by the OP who was under the guise of my username.

Lyon and family would have struggled to survive on what the Saints offered him. I would have real problems surviving on anything less than a million bucks a year..you know ..with the price of electricity and gas..not to mention the price of lamb at the supermarket. No wonder he fled to the west.

I hadn't heard of this incident more details please.
Btw I agree with all of the other reasons as to why I maintain the rage against our firmer coach.
todays hun briefly mentions the story.....
in an article written by glenn mcfarlane headed "the enigma with eyes"....glenn writes......"more than 40 hours later(after an incident involving lyon and a distraught guywhich is not necessary for this story....my comments...not glenns)) )-after the saintsband magpies played a draw-an exhausted and emotional lyon is barking invectives across the mcg dressingrooms. ....he is angered mick malthouse is allowed to have the first press conference and feeling the pain of a near miss that he and his players will carry forever, he lashes out at some of those around him."
...i have heard that story before...in more lurid detail........
