    Is there any 'history' between them from their time together under Roos?
    IIRC Longmire was the favourite for the Saints job but the Saints plumped for Lyon instead on the back of his presentation

    I've thought it was the other way around. Lyons has just taken the Roos defensive game to the Saints and now Freo while Horse developed better rebound attack a couple of years ago. But obviously Freo has now developed better attack for this season as they worked out they just weren't kicking enough goals. So we are a couple of years ahead of him, I reckon.

    We have done this before on trips to Perth. Hiscox has been playing regularly in the reserves so they'd rather the guys closer to the first team get a full game at home rather than fly all the way over there and not play. Towers is the obvious inclusion if there's an injury.
    Today's a draft of your epitaph

    Thanks Doc and Ampersand. Your thoughts make sense and I am feeling a little less bewildered. Cheers

    So, is that a midget sub for Anzac Day?

    I think they are playing better without Crowley. It's given them a more attacking style I think.

    More like an Exocet missile the way Benny goes at the ball.
