AFL: St Kilda Saints coach Ross Lyon spoke to the media following their Round 7 defeat to Port Adelaide.
Fox Footy’s Dermott Brereton has raised an eyebrow at Ross Lyon’s travel excuses after St Kilda slumped to its third loss in as many games.Through the campaign’s first seven rounds, St Kilda has made trips to Geelong and Canberra in addition to a pair of separate Adelaide sojourns.
Asked if after making the finals last year they expected to be 2-5 after seven games, Healy said: “No, probably not. “They lost their wingman they got from Fremantle, who was a fantastic player and will be for them ,” Healy continued. “He wanted the fight, and you could see there, just then , he was itching for someone to give him a really, really bad question, and he wanted to gun at them.”Asked by Fox Footy’s Ben Dixon if St Kilda’s 2023 finals berth was “a fluke”, Healy wasn’t falling for it.“I don’t think it was a fluke. I think they played really well; I think all their good players were playing at their best.
“He’s a great leader of young men. One thing I will say about Ross is, forever and a day as a coach, he’s always said ‘we are, under me, we are an ‘anywhere, anytime’ ’. Even at St Kilda he’s uttered those words.
