Summary
St Kilda CEO Carl Dilena supported coach Ross Lyon’s intense criticism of players following their 45-point loss to the Brisbane Lions, noting that while nurturing is important, stern words are sometimes necessary. Lyon’s animated approach, including a notable exchange with midfielder Hugo Garcia, aimed to elevate team standards after a recent decline in performance, as the team has lost three consecutive matches following a strong start. Dilena acknowledged the team’s fluctuating performance and the heightened expectations that followed early victories, as they prepare to face Fremantle and host Spud’s Game against Carlton.
