Ross Lyon is a Genius

[The Big H]

That is all.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Why?

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I have never seen a team dismantle and destroy another high calibre team in this fashion in a final.

It's immense.

Loving the Freo crowd atmosphere too

The thing is its not like his gameplan is being executed in secret. Its there in broad daylight for all opposition coaches to study. Plus stKFC have the added advantage of having experianced it.

[Mr Reliable]

There's no weak link. Everyone follows the plan. And they've got 3 Fyfes - a forward, a mid and a defender.

This has been a masterful performance from Fremantle so far. I really hope they can maintain it for the entire game because it's awesome to watch.

Agree, fantastic to watch, I see brad Scott is in the fox studio. Hope he has picked up some pointers.

Why?

If you can't see why then you don't know football.

 

[DarwinRoo]

If you can't see why then you don't know football.

Or maybe I do and it's nothing different to any other good football team that performs in the finals.

 

[muttley45]

dont reckon hawks can withstand similar pressure, if freo bring it next week, or even ramp it up a bit more, the cup will be heading west, next years blueprint will be defence based and implemented by many

 

[Black Diamond]

Hard to believe this time last year stacks of posters on this board thought Lyon was a rubbish coach and his teams play boring football.

They have kicked 53 points to half-time. It isn't based on defence. It's based on manic attack on the ball and hunger to win one on ones.

Having talked to a Freemantle player about what they do I can assure you it is different. Not pretty, but different and very effective. Listening to Jesse Lonergan on the radio here in Tassie today he was aked what the greatest thing he had learned at the Suns so far and it was the difference in how teams defend. He said that a lot of the teams defensively were very different. We're seeing that tonight.

Hawks are prolly a little better equipped to tackle the squeeze with mitchell and hodge able to break lines and hale,roughie and buddy superior in the air.

[TheMcGrathMan]

Why?

Because he has implemented a game plan, with many players not considered to be as 'talented' as other clubs (think Spurr, Suban, Dawson, Crowley, Sutcliffe), that has dismantled the 2nd and 4th teams from the H&A season in two big finals?

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

They have kicked 53 points to half-time. It isn't based on defence. It's based on manic attack on the ball and hunger to win one on ones.

And it's not just attack, desire and hunger. It's actually implementing it and continuing to do so.

And more space at the G.

 

[Roo-Boy]

Hawthorn must be nervous watching it.

 

[Black Diamond]

Yep. There defence is food but it isn't the cornerstone everyone seems to think.

 

[Yianni]

It's really impressive. Plus they're not just holding Sydney, they're scoring as well.

Tremendous stuff.

 

[Grossy Morrell]

This is the pressure and intensity that every fan wants their team to display week in week out.

Take note North Melbourne. This is how we want you to play when our season is on the line.

How good has this weekend of footy been?

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Yep. There defence is food but it isn't the cornerstone everyone seems to think.

Delicious.

 

[koshari]

Last nights game wad one of the most entertaining games i have watched for ages.

The 2nd 1/4 tonight was was a pressure cooker.

[Roo-Boy]

Freo is coming to the G next week to Flush out the wee and poo out of the G

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Let's see how it works on the MCG.

He's a genius. He's a also a fat, pretentious, bulliying c**t.
