1000%
Best move Basset ever made.

imagine what he could have done with the Carlton team. Glad he landed at the Saints.

Luckily Carlton shot themselves in the foot.

Man I love him

I don't think we could have two better spokesmen for the club than Ross and Basset.

Luckily Carlton shot themselves in the foot.

And may it long continue !!!!

It just warms the cockles of my heart.

Agenda Setters was fantastic. Especially when they got onto TDK.

KC: "Do you rate ruckman"

RL: "Yeah I do. On Grand Final Day they get the ball going forward. If it's good enough for Leigh Matthews it's good enough for me".

Clark Keating was always a beast for the 3peat lions when September started.

September specialist. Usually played 5 games a year and 3-4 of them were finals.

Ross the Boss. Honestly, I can't believe the idiots in charge of the dockers moved him on.

You can have all the first-round draft picks you want, but if a donkey leads them, they'll lose to a Lyon.

He has a habit of not winning premierships. In this caper, it is premierships, and premierships only.

He had a habit of having players who couldn't kick straight to be more accurate.

Pretty hard to hire a coach who has a habit of winning premierships - which would you suggest?

Easier to hire a coach who can't win a flag- it's a know quantity

I totally agree re Sandringham its a 'black hole' as far as player development is concerned. You can see how much more the promoted players are improving before our eyes. A lack of money is obviously the issue with the alignment being so ordinary for so long, hopefully at some stage that can be addressed?

This is one of the keys to improving our development. The input of that fella from the Dragons should help, but we need to supercharge the Zebs asap

17 a year lose.
If Lyon can make a GF with this group, I'd say he'd be in a very select group in making GF's with 3 separate sides

Looking forward to watching the whole clip of Ross on channel 7 but how weird is Caro going at him about finals when he says we want to play finals, she's like "you mean this year?"

Wtf do you think Caro?

I'm actually a fan of Caro but she seems to have this weird obsession with us and can't accept that we actually want to be good and quickly. We're 2-1 FFS coming off a strong finish to last year of course we're aiming for finals.

 

[Sainter88]

The Pres will be interesting. He’ll be on with Gerald.

On with the shnoz*

She is as bad with North and the Dogs as well in general. It comes from being a long term Richmond aligned family that basically looks down on smaller clubs. Its why she's constantly been at North for basically decades now wanting them to move/merge.

 

[AirWinmar]

Nice little line from RTB about Phillipou being inspired and close to signing on again… he’s already tied through to end of 26

There was talk of this on sen this morning. We are working on extending him further

Ironically she's one of the few footy journalists that even notices that the small clubs exist. Say what you like about her and Kornes but their distain is at least an acknowledgement that we aren't just there to make up numbers. Putting pressure on smaller clubs pushes them to strive to be better too.

You just have to remember to take it as entertainment. Other fans barely care what other clubs are doing other than to have a laugh at them.

I'm not..A fan this is. Can't stand her.

Tom Lynch just has one of those punchable faces, yknow?

He essentially got as close as possible to winning one without actually getting there. At that point it was almost luck.

Bad luck or bad coaching?

Idk the ball bouncing , no extra time. At that point I’d say luck. Luck plays a much bigger role in all this than we’d like to admit.

 

[Strahany]

2009: Atrocious accuracy in front of goal, the Hawkins “goal”, Riewoldt’s hip flexor injury, and a miraculous toe-poke

2010: Losing Gardiner early (with the sub rule being implemented the following year, no less), Maxy working with Collingwood to negate Riewoldt, and a horrid bounce of the ball.

Ross isn’t faultless, but he had a lot working against him.

Has Ross done a presser yet?
