No one fears clubs run by messiahs and control freaks. Once they are out of form or their egos get too big you go nowhere. And they hard to get rid of.

RTB has been out of form for a while, and he didn’t have the vision to see Collingwood/Carlton were top 4 clubs. Perhaps he realised they’d never let him steer the boat completely.

I'm not convinced he runs St. Kilda as is being reported. But for argument's sake, let's say he is...

Whilst history says you're right, I reckon if there is a control freak type guy running the joint, I believe they do get a year or two where they have a chance at glory. After that, it crumbles. If they don't get the success they sold to everyone, pressure comes. And when pressure comes, bad decisions are made. Self preservation, and ego take over and decisions start being made for the wrong reasons. Paranoia and blame bring it all down.

So if Lyon is the control freak that is running the whole show - I don't see it as an issue in the short term (ie. the next 1-2 years). Providing his 'way' is sound, then he will have everyone on board and pulling in the same direction. If after the next 2 years they're not on the precipice, then they're screwed.


But let's be honest, why was Simon Lethlean ever involved in footy stuff anyway??
 
They've had their chances, admittedly they were one bad bounce away from winning in 2010, in 2009 they just didn't play the wet conditions well enough in the final QTR and ran out of gas. Lyon has a long way to go taming this new bunch, his 2nd year in the gig will be interesting though as there was a distinct change in his approach in 2023. He appears more relaxed, not as tight and maybe this has rubbed off on the playing list? They are one team i have little insight on and their position in 2024 is up in the air, Herman Munster is more scary than St.Kilda!

Considering we finished the year with 23 Premiership players and the poor old Saints have 20 in their pretty sad life I’d suggest history would say there’s not a lot to worry about. Again.
 
I'm always scared of the side I've supported my entire life. Schoolgirls, dwarfs, king hits...... The list goes on.

For how crap we were in the 80's where was the party on a Saturday Night? At the Saints Disco of course.

If we ever win a premiership the City of Melbourne might not be standing by the end of the weekend. Our supporter base is bigger than anyone thinks.

Props to the OP for this ridiculous thread lol.
 
Most of us Saints supporters would have preferred this thread wasn't started.

But since it was and every Carlton supporter and their dog have come here to tell us how crap we are it seems only fair game to fire a few shots back.
I tried to stick up for ya mate but of course ya cant bag Carlton on the main board and comment was deleted

Only Carlton supporters?

No, not only however Carlton supporters have probably been the worst. (Mainly due to a few individuals and is not reflective of you all as a whole)

Carlton themselves have an incredibly poor record since the turn of the century, an even worse record than St Kilda.

You guys are not in a position to be taking stabs like that without getting shots back.

You're as good as your last season mate, I'll take 3rd for now.

Sure we have been poor this century but that timeline always amuses me, as if the competition has been in existence for only 2 decades

Then you has supporters of clubs that haven't won anything of note in the same period, in this thread, yet your offended by only Carlton supporter views

You have also been found guilty of cheating for your last piece of success.
