Ross Lyon Footy Can't Win Grand Finals

I wonder if a third club will ignore that and make a big money play for him end of this year, with the Freo list now at the end of its rope.

I loving hope not, because we're the only team looking for a coach

I don't understand it. How can a coach impart choking to each of his teams? It must be Lyon, the same poo poo happened at the Saints.

When the game was in the balance freo consistently refused to attack with free players and slowed things down and went with the safe option every time. Ross Lyon football.

Duryea has been impressive with his quality.
Shiels was pretty impressive earlier in the match, but he blew that goal.
Burgoyne and Gibson were massive. Just so good.
Frawley held his own against Pavlich. I didn't actually see that coming.
The legal firm of Mitchell, Hodge and Lewis were Mitchell, Hodge and Lewis.

Fyfe was so good, it's unfair that he can be that good ON A BROKEN loving LEG.

Umpiring has been pretty horrific, and while I'm happy that we seemed to get the better of it... god I hope it isn't like this tomorrow.

It was the same at the Saints, Ross backs ordinary users of the ball who can rigidly apply themselves to his system, and when his system inevitably breaks down in the face of superior talent, they lack both the skill and the attacking nous to do anything about it.

There's no point in complaining about the two gifted Q1 Hawthorn goals when Freo drop two kicking backwards.

Since North has no chance of beating the Hawks I guess I'm going to have to barrack for the Eagles. As much as I don't want West Coast to win I want the Hawks to get 3 in a row even less.

So I was just thinking, Dangerfield has only said he wants to come home to Victoria right? And the only reason he wouldn't actually nominate a club would be because they're still competing in the finals?

To be fair West Coast are pretty good at that sort of thing too. Which is a bit different to how they've won their previous flags.

EDIT: Assuming they don't pull the choke of the century against Norf tomorrow.

Yeah I was not surprised by the result at all. You look at the worm and its got the Freo trademark all over it, a push in the first quarter and then poking at it for the next three. All Hawks had to do was pressure them. This was a team that got lucky and sat on its figurative arse for way too long. Called it. Lyons is a destructive choker, get rid of him.

Watched this at the Castle Hotel in York, semi-rural WA after enjoying the delightful wedding of a couple of mates. Pretty much the whole bar wearing hi-vis and barracking for the hawks. A fight broke out involving the two freo supporters. They fought each other over comments regarding Ross Lyons legacy.

My doomsday scenario would have been freo beating west coast in a grand final, i'm so glad that's off the table now.
