Pavlich in commentary made a profound statement.
He said Simpson knows how Ross Lyon teams like to play.
That's the problem with Lyon. Too conservative. Too predictable
Don't be fooled by the early talk about the assistant coaches. This is a Ross Lyon team playing a Ross Lyon game plan
This.
This club will lose players and quality assistants if this continues. No one except Ross could possibly be enjoying their job at the moment. And it shows.
His pure stubbornness and reluctance to change is painful.

Some of our guys are so overrated .
I hate to say it but watching us today we are not a top 8 side.
A clean out is what we need the sooner the better
Hard decisions need to be made.
BOOM BOOM
Remind me again what the president and Lethlean said to justify sacking Ratten?
What was the point when all along they just had to realise we needed to reassess the list and rebuild
FFS are you really saying we shoulda kept Brett ???

No matter what happens from here this game is a failure.
haha. very revealing. cheer up!
Some people encourage mediocrity, some demand a little more.
Leave your partner out of this. It's not their fault.

How did that work the first 6 weeks????
Do you really think Lyon is coaching them to lose contested ball and stoppages??
It’s time this club put the blame fair and squarely in the shoulders of overrated players
Stop

Excuses

Lendog was a Hall of Fame midfielder.
Is the man a rubbish coach or are our mids rubbish?
Or a combination?

A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.
Remember one of the 10 Commandments : Thou shalt have no other team before thee
Well …… so far our boys have been spectators. Watching blokes that are fair dinkum to right wrongs .. to call it embarrassing would be an understatement
If Ross doesn’t have an absolute freak out on these guys I would be flabbergasted
At the end of the day and no matter what happens from here on out …and finally I have to concede….we now need to consider playing for picks

Ratten was the worse coach this club has ever had.

Billings - who has been pigeonholed as a small forward by Ross
Getting absolutely wasted as a forward pocket in the VFL
Zac Jones
Bytel should be playing today!!!!
Not sure how the fk Phillipou is getting a game?
Billings is being saved from straining his pinky toe and missing a few weeks. No one will trade for him then

Umpoor just letting West Coast ruck maul Marshall while Marshall goes for the ball
Marshall has been pathetic
Out muscled
Out positioned
Out played
We have been screaming for another support ruck
Equal in hit outs 12 disposals 3 clearances. Open your eyes d**khead
Nope sorry ... he gets man handled in the ruck contest
He isn't strong enough and always worried about his opposition ruck ..... hardly ever jumps ..... just tries to grab it and kick it ..... worst tap ruckman in the comp

Season over. Play the kids.
We are
You’re looking at the best we got
Yes, unfortunately you are correct.
He needs to do something about our pedestrian midfield. It just lacks star quality and is full of solid, unspectacular plodders. Bite the bullet and give Owens a run on the ball for the rest of the match. Maybe get Gresham and Sinclair in there to try to get a bit of run going.

We have no energy around the stoppages. Completely reactive. There hasn't been any synergy between our midfielders since round 5. Watching the opposition continually run out the front of the stoppages. Honestly, we have Hayes and Harvey in our coaching team. There is a clear failure in our stoppage set up

Looks like we lost by 100 last week not the other way round ….again shows our lists needs a lot of changes with fa in Sandy to come up and after seeing Ben King play the other night we shouldn’t bother with him
How many changes at selection this week?. We just lost 2 games in a row
That's making excuses for the match committee and the senior coach
You'd think we've been on winning streak with the amount of charges made. Team selection has been poor to say the least. Reactionary at best
Who you bringing in muscles ? Sandy got spanked btw
Werribee are top 4 and Sandy is bottom 2 skinny
I'd have had the balls to take advantage of our good start and I'd have mixed it up when the opportunity was there in rounds 7-11.
5 day breaks, interstate games, players underdone, not rewarding Windy after he got 35 touches and 3 goals. All those sort of things mean that half the team don't give a s***
They know their spot in the team is assured. They know Ross is conservative with team selection

Go and watch the replays and make your own mind up.
It was the same players then.

Selection integrity is a brain fart. It's not real
Last week and for most of the year, WC's skills were pathetic with turnovers galore. No so today. We seem to be down a couple of players as well due to injury.
and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.
