Veteran St Kilda mentor Ross Lyon believes restrictions on AFL runners delivering on-field messages have left coaches feeling like “neutered dogs”. The Saints suffered their fourth loss in their past five games against Hawthorn on Saturday in Launceston, going down by five points in a scrappy contest. Lyon, who got St Kilda to sixth last season after a few years away from head coaching, conceded criticism was likely after a “mundane” performance.
There’s a lot of pressure on me,” he said. “I’m happy for the AFL to hear this, it’s not an excuse. “We’ve had a lot of tight games. We get four messages a quarter, and with three minutes to go you can’t send a runner — I get that. “ in my previous iterations you could almost use a runner at will.” Lyon wasn’t helped by his side kicking just seven goals and not making the most of their inside-50 entries. “People say kick more goals and you’ll get more opportunities, but it’s still limited.
