Toast The Ross Lyon Spelling Bee

[Arcassius]

He comes out with some classic quotes - I wanted to start a thread to highlight some of them.


This one on the inclusion of Mundy and Barlow in the team to take on Brissie -


“It certainly helps. Michael Barlow has really given us impetus and we know what David can do. At the end of the day it starts with 't' and ends with 't', you need a little bit of talent, don't you.”

'Past results shouldn't dictate future results'

In name and in nature'

[Art Vandalay_]

he says "at the end of the day" too much for my liking.

 

[yakka man]

"One swallow doesn't make a Summer."

 

[Purple Suit]

As long as he takes a leaf out of Paul's Roos book and says

"Here it is"

In a few years. He can say what ever he wants in between now and then.

 

[maelcoluim]

he says "at the end of the day" too much for my liking.

Agreed. Very irritating and overused cliche.

 

[Outshined]

Handy - useful

Used to describe David Mundy in countless interviews.

Excellent list btw

 

[BananaOnTheRun]

"reward for effort"

 

[Ghost Pig]

I'm on record as saying...

 

[Nickos66]

"I'm a professional AFL/career coach"

He definitely likes the cliche's.

 

[Ghost Pig]

Be on the 882 at 1820 for more vintage Lyon vernacular. Should be compulsory listening for everyone interested in the tracking of Knyfe's shoulder.

 

[holy diver]

Get our forward structures working more efficiently.

 

[surfsup]

"With great power comes great responsibility" ...oh, hang on.

 

[more_of_bito]

"keeping the integrity of our selection process" is my personal favourite

Finally one he brought from the saints but should be our mantra as a Perth side...
"Fly in get the four points and fly back out"

 

[Fred Ziffel]

"keeping the integrity of our selection process" is my personal favourite

Finally one he brought from the saints but should be our mantra as a Perth side...
"Fly in get the four points and fly back out"

Well, there's no doubt about that.

 

[Nickos66]

"I think i'm on record already as saying..."

 

[Crippa2Sipa]

"I'm not into excuses. We're a no excuse football team."

 

[Arcassius]

In the SEN interview -

one of my mantras.. not mantra, but philosophy is 'Past results shouldn't dictate future results'

 

[DOCKERZ]

When talking about Mundy's omission in Rnd 1 & 2.
'we want David Mundy in the side in Name and in Nature'

 

[bfff]

give great effort

 

[Wigarus]

My personal favourite as of this afternoon

Reporter on Fisher and Goddard: "Do you have a set play for them?"

Ross the Boss: "Yeah, it's an old fashioned one, it's simple, we're gonna man 'em up. We're gonna play on 'em."

Go Ross

 

[Bender_]

I heard a sound bite on Fox today - he doesn't mind the clichés does he?

 

[dugrene]

he says "at the end of the day" too much for my liking.

He can say what he wants until he says absolutely or fantastic. Either together or separately. When he does then i'll know he's joined the rest of the morons.

 

[Reginald Perrin]

On Fyfe:

"He's a really important resource and person at this football club, and if in the cold light of day he needs to be looked after and it means the season, we would tap him out"

I didn't realise Ross was a wrestling fan.

 

[Nickos66]

He could have been saying that he'd submit him, possibly via flying armbar.
