Ross Lyon and close games

[jmadrox]

stop wasting your breath on this flog.
He is the only one arguing against RTB, and why should we care what a Hawks poster thinks.

If he wants to think that RTB's style doesn't hold up under pressure, good on him. we can wait till september to show him.

i hear the guys are doing match sims as we speak

 

[FyfesBoot]

I'm not worried about playing in close grand finals, I'm just worried that we might not get a break between years to save up for the trips.

 

[couldhavebeen]

Time to start saving your money for the next few years . Melbourne is expensive in September

 

[whiteoak]

Starts saving pennies because I had no idea that Melbourne was expensive in September. Luckily none of you other people ever travel.

Thanks mate

Why did Ross Lyon mention Josh Simpson as a possible in for the Melbourne game on Channel eagle tonight ?

At the end of the day Freo have a great list, one of the best in the AFL many would suggest.

Ross Lyon has experience coaching elite teams. He came into the Saints after Grant Thomas had done the hard yards with a seriously-talented group of youngsters. He coached them to a very impressive win-loss record, but at the end of the day left a decimated club with no future and no silverware.

To make sure they don't end up in the same position, Freo need to:

1. not leave all (any?) recruiting decisions to Lyon; and
2. make sure that other coaches are allowed to speak up on match day.

Isn't your uncle calling you back to the bedroom?
Go solve his problem.

What? Is the St Kilda situation not common knowledge?

I thought Freo supporters were an open-minded bunch. Please don't bring in the St Kilda bubble

I thought this thread was about our gameplan in close games?

Hasn't taken you long to show your true motivation though has it.

So why would a Hawks fan give a toss about the Saints or for Freo?? Time to go back to your board and worry about where Franklin will be next year cos it won't be the Hawks.....

Looks like our opinions are similiar to your own teams supporters

Clarko is a brilliant coach, as seen by our dismantling of the Geelong machine in 08 after what, 3 years coaching?

I only hope he mans up and stops fielding Buddy in the leadup to his journey north at the end of the season

Your a ********

You don't like the idea of Buddy going north either?

 

[E Shed]

I'm not sure why I'm bothering but I will just mention that our supposedly awesome list hasn't really been close to being on the park all together this year. If we ever get Sandi, Pav, Clarke, Hill, Fyfe, Morabito, Mundy, Walters & McPharlin all on the paddock at the same time I think we'll see how good Lyon can coach.

 

[whiteoak]

And stay out!

Well that was 5 minutes of my life wasted in writing a serious reply.

Post it anyway - we can always read it, and smile, remembering the good times

He needs to be listening to "Go west" on endless repeat until he decides to come to Freo.

I wonder why he/she didn't copy the post I put up by Hungry Hawk??? Hmmmm...I wonder why?

 

[jmadrox]

i didnt bother to read his post. more interested in how expensive melbourne is.... i just got invited to a wedding on the 27th... rsvp by the 27th July..... *sigh*

 

[Bender571]

He came into the Saints after Grant Thomas had done the hard yards with a seriously-talented group of youngsters.

Losing to Melbourne in an elimination final certainly sounds hard, especially with talented youngsters like Robert Harvey, Fraser Gehrig, Hamill, Hudghton, Thompson, etc. Lyon's 2010 GF team only had 8 players in common with Thomas' 2006 EF team, so please try to make your trolling a little more accurate next time.

 

[Benji McPherson]

Condolences on the loss guys, you are a great team and (as Pavlich said), you will be back. Everyone is loving seeing Freo up. You're a team that no one really hates (except maybe WCE).

Without wanting to get flamed, have any of you changed your opinion since my May 2013 post about Ross Lyon's game plan and how it operates in high-intensity close games?

 

[Rob]

I doubt it, unless there's some evidence that Ross Lyon's game plan includes a bunch of set shot misses and being on the end of some shithouse umpiring decisions in your backline.

Even on Saturday we had the chance of getting a whole lot closer, we scored 2.4 with 2 out of bounds in the last 8 minutes. The gameplan only gives you the opportunity to win games. Players still have to carry it out.
