    Lyon get's a lot of credit - not sure he's the amazing coach everyone thinks he is. He is good at setting up a structure to defend no doubt. That's not the only thing you need though. They just don't score enough his sides, never have.

    I did wonder if he would be out of touch with the young guys on return too. Neutered dogs?

    Phillipou is still very young, he was going to need some time no matter what.

    I personally think the bigger question mark is whether he can guide a developing side up the ladder rather than have a list handed to him and get them playing good football.

    He's not the first and won't be the last young player to suffer the 2nd year blues. He's a bottom ager as well - he just need to find some form back in the 2nds and will be fine.

    As a draftee he said his playing style is a mixture of Bont & Fyfe, which to be fair is how most draft watchers describe every mid above 190cm these days anyway.
    I can't find source where he says he's better.

    Ross the Boss also isn't happy about how often the runners can go out these days, as it's more restrictive since he last coached.

    Ironically, the runner can go out after each goal, but because his game style is not about scoring, then it's really his fault that the St Kilda runner can't get on the field!
