Roast St Kilda in no mans land

[Magpie Since 1986]

Time to ditch the loser coach.
Saints aren't a club that can afford to kick own goals like having this dinosaur.

But he's such a good bloke , oh wait didn't he allegedly sexually harass his female staff at Freo? What exactly is it that made them employ him... again...

Ross Lyon gets the best out of a limited squad.

Think Brad Scott's 10 seasons at North Melbourne. 4 finals wins in a 10 year stint as a coach isn't bad

North didn't have a bad list though. Understated a bit.

 

[Freomaniac]

just wait till they realise we play Lions on Friday night, hahahaha

Well I will say this. Saints scored a decent amount of goals tonight. 16.10.106

Rare combined 230pt game involving Ross the Boss

The North Melbourne list Brad Scott had from 2010-16 were finals contenders.

They made finals in 2012, and 2014-6. Solid effort lookin' back at it.

Lyon is playing dead. Playing the list putting lines through blokes as goes.

Morons those that don’t think so.

Yeah, nah.

This game (along with the collingwood one) is what Ross wants us to play like.

How many inside 50s did we get last week?

Rare combined 230pt game involving Ross the Boss

Ross' 88th 100+ game from 342 (26%).

For comparison Longmire is at 110 from 319 (35%). Hardwick is at 99 from 320 (31%). Scott is at 121 from 322 (38%) and Clarkson is at 159 from 415 (38%).

Negative dour football = no premierships for Ross. Those 4 look to push the boat out a little more to score. 10 combined premierships as coaches.

57 last week
50 tonight
i50's arent our problem

It is the quality of them that is the issue.

We do play attacking football it's just we suck and converting chances

First time both teams over 100 in his last 99 as coach

I wouldn't say we always play attacking, often we are quite pedestrian, but tonight we were attacking and we actually lowered our eyes and refused to long bomb to the goalsquare as the default.

Our midfield is crap and the reason we need to have an off-year to try and snag that top 5 pick midfielder

Best score in 3 games today. Perhaps we are being too harsh?

No the Brian’s are just shyte..

 

[CCurnow3votes]

What I find poor is a Sydney supporter that’s list is continually propped up with AFL assistance potting a clubs that isn’t.

As opposed to father/sons…?

I’m not bagging them.

 

[Elixuh]

Ross needs to gut their list and he knows it

so your happy to not take the 2 available this year?

your 3 years too late with that comment

He was tanking and should have won.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Of course I am!

Just no point bitching about other concessions when father/son has clearly helped Collingwood.

 

[Elixuh]

When will the gutting be complete? Looked like about a dozen scrap heap players out there tonight

Your selective - if not for father/son concessions 2023 would have been very different for Collingwood.

No point banging on!

If we cut too deep we'll just become North. I agree that there's definitely a decent number of players who will be moved on at the end of the year. Ross has clearly picked a few who he doesn't want.

 

[raffrox]

There might even be some Steven Baker-like retirements. Ross has never been good at transitioning a list so good luck saints fans.
