Bravo for the game he played last night and his honesty in talking about how he found Lyon.

Taken out of context and tone. I'd prefer he didn't say it as these things can bite you on the bum, although that might be being a bit precious.

He is back to his best form since his concussion.

His running and fitness is supreme.

Not so positive Lingers

Think about it for a sec. Has never raised his voice. And this about a top level coach. Unbelievable. 
And I reckon it’s the best way to teach anyone.
Years ago I asked a bunch of my son’s primary school friends who their favourite teacher was. The decision was unanimous. One teacher was clearly doing something right. I asked the kids why she was the best and the answer was quite simply, “coz she doesn’t yell at us.”

Re Ross Lyon - "I doubt you're getting traded to Carlton any time soon". That gave me a good chuckle.

Langdon's copped a bit for this. A few St Kilda players have said they're surprised and a number of people on Twitter have posted references to a speech Langdon gave at a Fremantle awards night where he praised Lyon.

To the point where Langdon got in touch with Lyon today to apologise.

Langdon was just saying something we already knew and that is Lyons a [censored].

I think this shows, how reading a quote out of context , compared to actually listening to the quote , can give a complete different impression.

If you just looked at the quote in the tweet, as i saw NickDal Santo do on fox footy last night, it comes across as fair crack at Lyon. But actually listening to the quote it's really just a perfect comparision of Goody to a coach with a completely different old school style in Ross Lyon

“I know Ed, he’s really dry. I’m not here to defend myself or Ed. Ed can speak for himself...he was one of my favourites.”

That tells you all you need to know about Ross. An ounce of the class that Goodwin has.

Ross seems like the biggest weasel to me. Absolute slimeball. 

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Seriously Ross Lyon is a disgusting grub. Freo had to pay female employees hush money for the crap he did to them. He’s a disgusting human being and Langdon is entitled to his opinion of how he felt playing under him.

Just think Langdon is getting Lyon back after jokingly he had a dig at him last week on 3MMM about being an inner city kinda bloke. Same interview Gawn called Lingers a little weird.

Get the sense Langdon isn’t a super blokey (read: footy clubbish) guy and is a bit more substantive

A bit like our current full forward?

Can you PM me with the details of what Ross did?

The biggest issue i have with this is its not even a slow news week! 

A football coach yelled.

Media racking up those clicks!
