Gold Coast defender Sam Collins has responded to St Kilda coach Ross Lyon’s “nepo baby” remark, stating he disregards Lyon’s opinion since he was delisted by him at Fremantle. Following a victory over the Saints, Collins’ coach Damien Hardwick and CEO Mark Evans criticized Lyon’s comments as disrespectful. As the Suns prepare to debut academy graduate Leo Lombard against Fremantle, Collins expressed pride in the strong culture established at their club over the past eight years.
