Its always annoyed me how his nickname is "Lordo" - his surname is Lloyd, not Lord, its not that difficult to say "Lloydo", is it? Maybe it is short for G**lord or something but everything I hear it it triggers me

Spot on.

It should be Lloydy.

Lordo is ridiculous

Could be worse ..... could be Gringo

It’s because Codfacedhalfwitto is too cumbersome.

Sounds catchy to me.

"That Gold Coast midfielder...Ned Flanders...I'm not sure how good he is."

The script writers are at it again.

Don't worry people...he'll find out soon enough how good Flanders is!

'Weaponise the media': Lyon returns fire in war of words with Lions

Ross Lyon has questioned Chris Fagan's 'motivations' after his Brisbane counterpart's comments over the Saints' recruiting spree

Ross clearly took a lot from his short time in the media.
He was always good in front of the camera but since his return he has been consistently brilliant at pushing the points our club wants to be out there for discussion.
And the journos couldn't be happier to make it a headline.

Well worth the 34min watch


Max King for Rnd 4 (lol)
TPP was 80%, and then 15% bought forward to meet the 95% requirement
The comment regarding the possible legal action re: disenfranchising of clubs in the context of inequitable access to talent was a very interesting comment
Spoke a little about the off field family aspect in regards to Battle - said it was ok, but relatively inadequate. As an example, the club had a creche when Ross left for Freo, and then this had been discontinued in the time he had been gone
The Melbourne game midfield was the turning point for Steele and his future

 

[thekizzler]

Hope you guys are ready for this bulls*** all season.

I thought TDK played pretty well but the sensationalism from Fox Sports is already starting.

Saints hypocrisy? "Whingeing" club has weaponised the media

Kane Cornes has called Ross Lyon and St Kilda out.

A really interesting part of the interview was how he talked about what we did with Nas's money. So we've front loaded his contract onto last year. So everyone losing their minds about paying him 2 million and fitting it in the cap, it's already done.

As Joey said, the cap is a jigsaw puzzle. People are getting too caught up in the amounts and not realising that what we are doing is building a list. And it looks to be actually going quite well.

This is from Nic Negrepontis - who hosts the Carlton pod.

What an absolute w*nker.

Might have to avoid all media at this rate.

 

[thekizzler]

I think a better headline to Negrepontis is:

'$60,000 journalist bitter about his supposedly great club falling apart'

As a collective the 4 traded in recruits were terrific i thought..TDK, apart from his ruckwork, was also great with his following up at ground level

That article is putrid. What a bitter loser. A heap of useless 100x recycled context on Silvagni.

He will now enter 12-day protocols, which doesn't leave a heap of room for error. St Kilda plays Collingwood in Opening Round in just 17 days.

Errrr .... thats nearly 3 weeks you moron

If you haven't watched the interview with Ross and Damo from the AFL website, do yourself a favour. I cringe at most AFL media but that has to be one of the better pieces I've seen from an AFL coach in a very long time.

Ross perfectly and factually rebutted the comments made by Fagan towards TDK, but the real nugget of gold was the idol threat of legal action towards the AFL. I just love what our club stands for now.

There has been a clear and evident aggressive approach to representing the club since Andrew's address at the B & F two years ago, and including the Nepo Baby comment by Ross last year. Culminating in a very aggressive approach to list management last season. I Ike it, I like it a lot.

Clearly we are mimicking the behaviour of the rich and powerful clubs, and guess what, it's ruffled feathers, mainly becaue we are acting out of character, we are meant to know our place and and just bow to accept whatever pineapples the AFL administrator.

Round 0 can't come quick enough.

Relevance box close to being ticked.

It's going to quite amusing if/when we grab another FA at the end of the year.
People have to understand the guys in charge now are very different to what we've had over the last 150 years.
