Lyon won the coaching duel when he put Sinclair into the middle, that changed the game. I seem to remember Sinclair doing a number on us several times.
Yep we won the stats but let's dive deeper...the Lyon game plan forces you to feck around with ball, go sideways, then sideways again with useless kicks as you try and pick your way through and it's perfect for a slow moving , poor kicking team like we have.
The stat count for our players was ridiculous this game...our mids had so much of the ball but no idea on what to do with it.
Lyon won this game in the coaching box and showed he hasn't lost much of his cunning since his Freo days.
Richardson commented on Lyons structure at the end of the game last night. He said being at the ground, watching their defensive structure move and hold position in sync was something to see. He and Daisy Thomas both said after watching them live on Sunday, StKilda are the real deal. Daisy went with a more comical description saying something like, every time Ross dropped bait, Voss went to get it and Ross gobbled him up.
