Here it is;
ROSS Lyon insists there are "no panic stations" for Fremantle after suffering the second-biggest loss and kicking the lowest ever score in Western Derby history on Saturday night.
"I think for a young group and where we were (in recent seasons) we’ve shifted, and then we've had some availability challenges that have changed the structure of our team," Lyon said.
"We are getting entries but we just haven't been as powerful in the front half as we need to be.
"There's certainly no panic stations. I don't think anyone expected us to go through undefeated.
"If anyone wants to criticise us up to this game, I think it's non-sensical.
"From here, we're really disappointed. We're not thrilled with tonight.
"It's a winning business, we've been writing our own story and we want to get back to writing our own story and there's no reason we can't do that."
"I've been really proud of the group's effort up until this point. But all of us, coaches and players, we wear this," Lyon said.
"I'm not here to defend the indefensible. I don't think we turned up. We had more entries, but still it was a bit deceptive, the numbers."
Lyon declared there could be a statement at the selection table after the defeat.*
* A statement at the board level is what I would like to see, and before Thursday.
That is the biggest load of public relations crap that could be used as a cover-up for incompetence that I have ever seen.
