Drubbing is bang on. I honestly preferred watching Demons/Saints on the weekend, great game. But more to the point Lyon has been caught asleep at the wheel, the AFL rule changes with deliberate out of bounds, rotations and the limiting of men around the kicker from a mark or free have demanded corridor footy and less stoppages, negating our terribly depressing and demanding game plan. Couple that with our travel, and we deserve to be where we are at. Heaven help us if GWS wind up their running game on the weekend, then we will see where we are not at.
Mate of mine said St Kilda are closer to a premiership 3 weeks ago. And he was right. Very very right.
And this talk of Ross being the man for the rebuild is desperation stakes from management, ass-covering for the ridiculous extension to Lyon's contract. There was no need to sign him, and better talent for a rebuild. Truth is freo management didn't know where this squad was relative to the rest of the competition, and today's game.
