\u201cIt doesn\u2019t hurt,\u201d a coy Lyon said of King\u2019s looming inclusion. <\/p>\n
He also refused to accept that its first triple-figure victory in 11 seasons was a significant moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think there\u2019s bigger challenges in the AFL with, with all due respect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t see it as a four quarter performance. We see it as three.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thought our Q3 we didn\u2019t like, but there was stability in our game in the other three quarters, so we will move on pretty quick. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s great to see the fans, sponsors, board members and family in the rooms with a smile, getting reward for effort, so that doesn\u2019t hurt. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is nice to crack through that glass ceiling.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the day, you want to come here and get the four points and leave healthy and play positive football.\u201d<\/p>\n

After not winning a third quarter until today, Lyon said there was no one reason as to why St Kilda\u2019s this quarter continued to be its worst.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a whole bunch of things to be honest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat has there been, seven third quarters? <\/p>\n
\u201cI remember doing quantitative studies and I think a significant sample size is 30 to be meaningful, but there\u2019s smarter people than me who could determine that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hugo Garcia\u2019s impact could certainly be measured as meaningful, with the budding midfielder playing his best game for the club from a 33-game sample size. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe works really hard, he got reward for effort,\u201d Lyon said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe certainly played his part. <\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully it fuels his dedication and his passion for AFL football.\u201d <\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t only Garcia, but home-grown talent in Darcy Wilson, Mattaes Phillipou and Marcus Windhager who helped propel the Saints to victory alongside Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera. <\/p>\n
Ross Lyon labelled them \u2018win builders\u2019. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve done a lot of heavy lifting here, gone from the fifth oldest to going to the draft a fair bit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just see them as positive people that can contribute to the team, potentially wind builders. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s good growth for Darcy (Wilson) and Hugo (Garcia) for sure, and they\u2019re really good mates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lance Collard is another potential win-builder who was the subject of a lengthy tribunal process following the use of a homophobic slur in the VFL. <\/p>\n
The AFL sacked the chair of its appeals board Will Houghton KC after his findings in the case were widely criticised. <\/p>\n
Ross Lyon refused to weigh in on his sacking. <\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t got a view on it, I just acknowledge the decision, look after Lance and prepare Lance for football,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo view.\u201d <\/p>\n
He did, however, have a view on the controversial in-game score review that granted Rowan Marshall a shot on goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s best intentions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo when people have the best intentions, I don\u2019t think we should undermine it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ross Lyon\u2019s enthusiasm over his side\u2019s emphatic victory – and Max King\u2019s potential return – wasn\u2019t as strong…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":631762,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-631761","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-afl","8":"tag-afl","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-australian-football-league","12":"tag-australianfootballleague","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=631761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/631762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=631761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=631761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=631761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
