I find it very hard to believe that Ross Lyon or Steve Silvagni are making any decisions based on revenge. If that's true, the St Kilda fans should absolutely revolt and demand they both be sacked. Appalling lack of professionalism, if true.Ill bet my left one they are.
I reckon Ross Lyon would have a 'hate' list as long as your arm. He just strikes me as the type of guy who is so convinced he knows all the answers, he treats everyone who disagrees with contempt. I am certainly not disappointed that we haven't spent the last 3 years watching a Lyon-based game plan. He certainly hasn't done the Saints fans any favours, watching them play is almost a chore.
We both won the same amount of games this season.
The coach over there isn't a big Carlton fan either having been spurned and asked to go through a process.
Dinners must be fun as they air their grievances and plot their revenge
SOS is just doing his job. If you barracked for StKilda you would be happy.
Interesting looking at our own Jim Park voting.
Silvagni was in the votes most weeks he played, but there were a couple of weeks where he was right at the top of the votes for some very good jobs on dangerous key forwards.
So there's no doubt that while it lasted the experiment was working.
One of the things that often gets people a bit confused is that SOS's 'conflict of interest' over his kids was never about favouritism for his boys.
It's not hard to be professional about that type of thing.
I can even believe SOS probably did take himself out of decisions to pick the boys up.
It can sometimes even work to the detriment of the son (or daughter) if your Dad is in charge of an important aspect like list managing as they might be harder on you to deflect criticism.
No, the issue has always been how that coach or List-man deals with the other players in the side.
How would it feel if your Dad was making career ending decisions about your close friends and team-mates
I'm guessing that over the years Jack would probably have heard "You're Dad is a fKn prick" more than once.
Even as list manager for another side where he's plucking quality players from your side it would be more than uncomfortable.
I can understand that as being a situation Jack would have found difficult to deal with over his career.
It's possibly caused conflict with other players and coaches.
He may have even overheard conversations about his dad that upset him.
Was it a big factor in his decision?
I think that is a much better reason for leaving than "I'm looking for a bit of success"
If Jack ends up at St Kilda then I think you could put that argument to rest.
speaking of dodgy I see ex storm Player Brandon Smith has been charged by Qld police for supplying a "dangerous" substance and providing inside info information for betting purposes. I hope there are mitigating circumstances or there could be serious jail time. The Bunnies picked up a bargain there! He has always been a sort of lovable larrikin but maybe gone too far this time
The Frank the Tank show motors on.
Im a true believer from his vfl days 8 weeks ago.
Bye Tom - Enjoy your money.
Pleasing to see us put together close to 4q. We look so much better with Walsh back. I hope there's no truth to the trade rumours.
H was unstoppable, even showed a bit of attitude after marking v Byrne-Jones.
All the kids keep showing glimpses. Big HOK was impressive. Love his simple goalkicking style. Thats definitely something others could improve. Going early here. Lord is our next Crippa. His decision making is beyond his years IMO.
Despite another dead end season, there is a little glimmer of hope for the future. I just hope we rebound quickly after the ps changes settle.
How ridiculous. What else are they going to put on, the front bar?
