Round 3 - when the WCE allegedly have the premiership in the bag, and from the back page of the West has a headline, Eagles front and centre...
The West Australian - Eagles lose, Dockers win - headlines around the world..., real news....? we can't make much of the Dockers win, or much of the Eagles loss...?

So funny - the West is the shit, most crap paper in Australia - all AFL until the Eagles lose and the Dockers win, fickle shite.

With "play da yoof".

When you get your first chance, you really have to take the bull by the horns. But 4 of the 6 inclusions are 21+ Grey, Sheridan, Crozier, Hughes... Sheridan has long been derided for his work, Crozier started to show us something as a defender last year, but prior to that was universally criticised for going missing in games, Grey, with the limited opportunities (due to injury) didn't set the world on fire in his limited game time - nor did Hughes.

They played out of their skins yesterday, but also were bigger bodied and impressive for their tackling as a consequence. Knew the game plan and where to go, weren't dazzled in the headlights and the skill levels and decision making were also improved. Quite a contrast to the last few years that they've given us.

I say this not to take anything from the game that Logue, Balic played, they were great games, they showed us a glimpse of what they could become, courageous and did some great things, both not overawed by the big stage - but crikey the inexperience showed in instances. Good debut games, but they have a lot to work on (as do most of the squad).

Anyways, my point is, we played 2 yoof, the world is making out like we played an army of them.

As I said in another thread - it wasn't that we played the youth, its that we finally made a number underperforming player accountable for their lack of form. Dawson, Suban, Sutcliffe had not played good footy for years, while Pearce's form was only ever patchy at best, and they all got games ahead of others who may have had something to prove.

Who would Dal Santo more likely be in communication with?

His former coach or ...?.

Far more likely he spoke to his contemporaries amongst the playing group. It's not a violation of the players' integrity for them to set the record straight by speaking to Dal in defence of their coach. Conversely, Ross is not so weak that he has to go blabbing to journalists. Get a grip.

Who are his contemporaries? He's a former player.

If anyone needs to get a grip, it is you, who is going to Pizzagate levels of delusion to defend Lyon.

If the assertion is that the likes of Suban et al were selected at the behest of the CEO and playing group, then how long has this been going on? Suban has played poorly for years, as have many of the others who were cut. The poor form of those players did not come out of the blue, and many of them had impeccable selection records. Suban played every game in 2015. Pearce and Dawson were only ever dropped in cases where we rested before finals. Finally it comes to a head and something is done about it, and it turns out it was the CEO and players all along!

Yes, but I have issue with people claiming that this was part of Lyon's plan all along. It is the same level of delusion that as we slowly stagnated in late 2015 that Lyon had an ace up his sleeve that he was saving for finals. It didn't happen - he is not some svengali in complete control of his destiny and he is prone to making mistakes, huge ones at that. Just like any other coach. Even Clarkson.

This 'Ross is a master who is never wrong' narrative is amusing, especially the shoehorning of facts to fit it.

It is amusing, as is the "Ross is an idiot who has finally been found out" narrative.

He is a man doing his best in a difficult job in the public spotlight. We are sitting anonymously on the sidelines giving uninformed opinions and speculating based on limited information.

Some of us just need to be right and will defend our ignorance to the death.

Alias after alias after alias.
 
How about we all take a few days break on the Ross debate and just enjoy an amazing win?

Move forward , anything is possible . Give Ross a break , everybody is learning . Don't let the past dictated the future. Whoever play must put in an effort and play like is their last final game .
