This was Ross Lyon at his quirky, cheeky, quietly combative and almost frustrating best.
St Kilda coach Ross Lyon wasn’t in the mood on Friday night as his press conference turned frosty following his club’s latest loss.In the wake of St Kilda ’s 10-point loss to Port Adelaide on Friday night, Lyon fiercely defended his tactics and approach to the game during his post-match press conference , which featured Lyon asking just as many questions as he gave answers to the journalists in attendance.
The reporter then asked if the Saints could’ve shown “a bit more dare” late, to which Lyon replied: “We sent a message ‘take it ’. I thought we were daring. I thought with the entries we were playing up-tempo, we were taking it on. That’s just my opinion.“I would’ve thought, as Kenny said, ‘we saw you were in green , we saw you were going and we were really worried’.
“I thought we were challenging and they were under a little bit of pressure. There was a big play on the far side where it looked like we were out and we tapped forward. It was some marginal stuff. “He’s tried to win and rebuild – and ultimately I suppose that’s what we’re trying to do. Win and run into a narrative.“We feel like we’ve got some youth that we’re going to continue to push through … But we know ourselves really well and we know when you get in that real tight stuff and what separates us a little bit. We’ve got a fair bit of work to do, but nothing that we don’t know about to be fair.
