How did this turn into a political discussion :huh:

Unless we are suggesting Ross Lyon is like Bill Shorten or Malcolm Turnbull, this is crazy talk.
I drew my own box on the slip last election and voted for Ross Lyon.

Reporter: "Prime Minister Lyon, what do you think of the US declaring war on North Korea?"
Lyon: "It's not ideal. We're under no illusions that both Trump and Jong-Un are loonies."
Reporter: "Will Australia be joining the war effort?"
Lyon: "We've written our own story for a long time in Australia. Some will say since 1788. But those not in the Liberal party would say a lot longer. Is that fair and reasonable?"
Reporter: "What if they launch a missile at Australia?"
Lyon: "I don't have the luxury of dealing in what if's."
Reporter: "Any thoughts on Syria and Australia's involvement in that region?"
Lyon: "Well the game is won or lost in the Middle East. We don't rebuild but re-stump, we re-wire, we re-plumb. We pride ourselves on anyone, anywhere anytime. Most importantly we need to bring great effort."
Reporter: "So we'll be committing more troops?"
Lyon: "I'll let the cobblers do the cobbling. Although I would've thought it was self evident."
Reporter: "How do you respond to the UN's criticism of our treatment of asylum seekers?"
Lyon: "Failure is feedback. We learn some really valuable lessons. It's never as bad or as good as it seems."
Reporter: "Are you going to bring the budget back to surplus?"
Lyon: "I left my crystal ball at home. We're a no excuse government."
Reporter: "What do you think of the front page of the Herald this morning, 'Is it time to toss our PM Ross?'?"
Lyon: "Today's headlines, tomorrow's fish and chip wrapper. It's an opinion business."
Reporter: "The opposition is claiming you aren't even an Australian citizen."
Lyon: "You can't hide behind your birth certificate. I sit here very comfortable with my integrity and my honour."
Reporter: "And do you still stand behind your calamitous Treasurer?"
Lyon: "There's no witch-hunt here. We support the person and challenge the behaviour."
Reporter: "So is your cabinet in desperate need of a shake up?"
Lyon: "We're all dog hungry. Everyone gets a lick of the ice-cream."

Lyon: "Thanks everyone" (as he stands up and walks away)

It's ok I'm here to stop Ross now!

(p.s. that was a hint to get back on topic thanks folks)
Do I need to come and roar some more

The Lyon has every right to Roar when his BIG FOOTY list management forum is misrepresented and gets overtaken with discussion on sheep cows and politicians - by the way was that 256 mated ewes exported ?????????

Apparently evidence of cattle being whipped, kicked, slashed repeatedly with blunt knives, water spurted up their nostrils, eyes being gouged during slaughter, banging cattle heads against concrete floors, animals still conscious when being dismembered, cattle dismembered in front of other tied up cattle can be summed up as "someone hit a cow on the head with a stick" .
seen some of that road kill in WA over the years ....ban the cars and trucks .. Wonder if threatening with slaughter would improve player performance and sort out list management quickly lol :oops::thumbsdown: Seriously Ross is doing well and the rebuild and recruiting on track with the live export of one for not much and a few live imports again likely. Some old rams to get of the property that cant perform anymore on the fieldanymore and with some good selection of some quality stock available --- mmmm could be a future on the Freo farm after all.:D

So many posts about politicians and Freo without anyone mentioning the elephant in the room (and I'm not talking George Christensen.)



Now that Freo finally has a representative at the highest level I'm still waiting for the rewards - draft picks, COLA, better fixture etc - to flow.

As a neutral WTF is going on?

A genius/if unlucky coach who reset in 2016.

Called for a new approach/rebuild after rd 2 17 then instantly had the team humming at 6-3 and dangerous. Almost since it is back to 100 pt floggings and weird musings.

Is he out of ideas and jumping ship or has something up his sleeve? IMO he is still a very good coach but is confused by this years trends and has lost all control.

He's out of ideas. He's not jumping ship. He has nothing up his sleeve.

It's part of our 2 year master plan, first year was Mayne, second will be offloading Ross to you.

Nah, we've at least doubled our wins this year. 10 or more wins next year and we'd be ahead of schedule.
I agree from a wins and losses point of view.

What concerns me is our ball movement and attacking play. We seem to be out of ideas. Ross must recognise this, the club hierarchy must recognise it. Let's hope they do something about it.

A lot of new blood playing in the 22, team lacks cohesion as a consequence - just needs the passage of time to fix that. But crikey moses, no Neale/Walters/Blakely which removes 3 of the most talented on our list and drops the quality of our midfield a bucketload.

You don't have to have a Rhodes scholarship in AFL to realise that. So slow coming out of defence, and the Tigers just webbed us until we turned it over.
Fingernail analysis, but if you get hammered like that at your last appearance at your home ground, something is definitely wrong

We've been moving the ball a lot quicker than previous years and using the corridor more, also getting the ball out of defence better (generally speaking) - Luke Ryans kicking - sweeeeeeet!

We can't hit chests going to the high forward area, that's the bit that's killing us. Today, so many uncontested kicks to the free man dropped 5 meters short - allowing the opponent to come in and put pressure on instead of us having a mark to do stuff with. Then there are the kicks direct to opponents - even SHILL - one of the best kicks in the team - clocked up a few today.

I really don't know what happen. Compare to Brisbane, hawthorn rebuild, freo really
inconsistent in this area . 8 win look like a few lucky one there .

Win
GC (h)
North Melbourne (HA)
Richmond (a) (like to lost the close one)
Carlton (h) ( so so team)
Bulldog ( h) ( flag hangover)
Melbourne ( a) ( Neale and mundy star playing forward)
Essendon (h) ( they are running out of gas)
