Got to love seeing Big Boy Mcevoy giving it to Ross

 

[Spider Eater]

Just like to say suck shit Ross, a well deserved failure once again and if I witnessed St Kilda supporters behave as disgracefully as the Dockers fans then I'd quit supporting the game... they are a disgrace and should be ashamed of themselves.
Nice to see serial spuds like Muzungu and Pearce give the ball to the opposition at every opportunity once again.
As a famous man once said Ross "No soup for you... campaigner"

 

[sammm]

Just like to say . Karma. Ross loses again. Very happy

 

[saintastic]

Ross still in the coaches box? 5 minutes to go thought he'd be sending resumes off to some northern clubs by now?

If you can't walk in a straight line to kick a set shot, it should be play on the moment you step off the line to make your arc

Even more important when kicks are after the siren & your arc improves the angle of the shot

call it the Buddy rule

 

[Joffaboy]

I must say I have a very vindictive pleasure moment watching Lyon fail with his boorish shit defensive gameplan.

Just doesn't stand up in finals.

lol -Ro$$

 

[CHBench]

This is the problem with Lyon. There is NEVER any room for error.
Window is shut.

 

[TassieSaint]

Carey on whether Lyon's Freo team has as much talent as the Saints did
"Well I think they [Saints] had a lot more offensive talent, and we know they were a defensive juggernaut as well..." i.e. **** no, not even close

 

[TheJackal]

Dear Lachie, I'm sorry your team lost. Now that's said and done, would you like to come to us a year earlier than scheduled? Sincerely, StKFC

 

[Rors]

call it the Buddy rule

I started a thread on it on the main board about 5 years ago that ended up with nearly a 1000 posts

Still ****ing hate the Buddy rule

Lyon himself recently suggested this

 

[sammm]

Thats what you get when you play a s*it brand of football. How many young players in freos team. A big problem for them next year.
There one saving grace is that they win most of their home games.

Said to a mate last night free would have to kick at least 14 goals to win. 10 goals in a game just ain't gonna do it.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

67 points. After 69 against Sydney.

Highest score we got in a gf was 68.

It's just not enough.

 

[HarveyBanga]

Full respect to hawthorn. How, good, are, they!! I do try not to be too bitter about ro$$ lieon but hahahahhahahhahahahahahhahahahaahahhahahaahahahahahah
Another victory for attack over defense. Obstinate fool. Cmon saints

He still has another year on his contract.adelaide still need a coach.

 

[L_W_P]

Now watch them give up 5 draft picks, Ed Langdon and Lachie Weller in order to get Cam McCarthy for next year...

 

[Adam H]

I hate Freo but the umpires completely shafted them tonight. No doubt the AFL wanted a Vic side in so nothing will be said. Hawthorn just got gifted a prelim.

 

[Rors]

Again, a Ross Lyon coached team struggled to kick 10 goals in a final.....

And people say Ross' game plan is solid & that he's a very good coach?!

Yet, he continually fails & doesn't change anything.... You'd think he'd learn

 

[TheLonieRanger]

Also, watching Freo fall short again is tiring even for me, let alone lyon and his team, wouldn't be surprised if they didn't drop off a little from here. We should definitely make a play for their best player - Michael Walters

Maybe not their best, but he's bloody good.

Or, you know, that Fyfe guy goes alright.

Have they got any pretty boys for the membership factor?

Need to get in their ears before they drop off.

Either that or they just reload and win the next 5

(Cover all bases, that's how the experts make predictions, right?)

 

[L_W_P]

He still has another year on his contract.adelaide still need a coach.

Leppa will get sacked next year and Brisbane are building a nice list...

 

[saintastic]

He still has another year on his contract.adelaide still need a coach.

Surely he has a "performance " clause to enable him to stab the dockers in the back?

In the pre-match when asked about scoring potency Lyon mentioned in Hawthorn's 7 losses this year the average winning score was only 95 points or something. I was just thinking mate that may as well be 195 the way Freo plays, you will be lucky to get within 5 goals of that. Sure enough.

 

[Adam H]

Hardly Lyons fault how do you plan for Stevic to take the game away from you?
