AFL 2025: St Kilda hopes injection of experience will boost midfield against Gold Coast Suns
St Kilda coach Ross Lyon is optimistic the injection of experience will rectify his side's recent midfield deficiency. Lyon omitted three young Saints – Hugo Garcia, Angus McLennan and Lance Collard – for the match with Gold Coast on Sunday. Ball-winner Jack Macrae will also miss the match with a punctured lung he sustained during last week's loss to West Coast. But the Saints have welcomed back duo Hunter Clark and Zak Jones to counter the Noah Anderson and Matt Rowell inspired Suns. Lyon says the addition of Clark and Jones offers 'more experience around the ball'. 'We're really thrilled, Hunter Clark has had an abdominal issue pre-Christmas, he's got back (and) is three games in,' he said. 'He's been a really good player for us and as has Zak Jones – his best is very, very good – and it just gives us a little bit more experience around the ball. 'We need to reward those performances and our midfield is an area we haven't been on top of our game. In the end we need to reward performances below.' Garcia has ridden the highs and lows of the AFL across the past month. The second-year Saint was issued some strong feedback against Brisbane, won a Rising Star nomination against Fremantle and faced the axe this week. Lyon says sending Garcia back to the VFL is a chance for him to show a bit of flair. 'The narrative was the clip, my narrative was feedback on action,' he said. 'One week you're coaching, next week you're sacked – it happens to all of us, it's the AFL, the AFL is a high-demand industry. 'He's a young player, second year, lots of footy, sometimes you've got to take some pressure off and let them go back (to the VFL) and express themselves.' Lyon hinted at more midfield minutes for Mattaes Phillipou last week but he struggled against the fired-up Eagles. St Kilda will look to implement him in a similar role to opponent Bailey Humphrey this week. 'Phillipou, we probably threw him to the wolves last week a little bit, and we want to give him a little bit through there, maybe a 50-50 split,' he said. 'We brought him in off no games, off a 14-week rehab because he's such a great preparer and he's still running quite well, but that up and down stuff, off the ground, just can be really challenging.

AFL world divided after fan footage captures Ross Lyon in 'brutal' act
AFL commentator Kate McCarthy believes Ross Lyon should have directed a spray at a more senior player than Hugo Garcia after footage emerged of the St Kilda coach barking at the 16-gamer before subbing him out on Saturday night. Lyon is facing renewed scrutiny after the Saints' 45-point loss to Brisbane at Marvel Stadium. Lyon didn't hold back when talking to the players at quarter-time after the Lions racked up a whopping 24 inside-50s to six in the opening term. He then pulled the trigger early and took 19-year-old Garcia out of the game in the second quarter - a lot earlier than what we normally see. Fan footage has since emerged of Lyon giving Garcia and Ryan Byrnes an almighty spray on the St Kilda bench, paying particular attention to Garcia. Speaking in his press conference after the game, Lyon was unapologetic for taking Garcia out so early. "Sometimes you have to stop talking about it and sometimes you just go 'bang'," he said. "I pulled the sub, tried to get something done." Lyon denied 'spraying' his players, but said: "I was animated ... (the most) since I've been back at the club. AFL teams don't do this under pressure. I just coach action ... you can't read minds. We're talking top of the pops (Brisbane). Did I think coming here it was going to be a picnic? I wouldn't have thought so." Ross gives a shit and certainly hates losing. This is a long journey but this is the most animated he's been since he came back to Moorabbin. — Saints TV (@saintstvpod) April 26, 2025 Discussing the incident on the bench with Garcia on Sunday, former AFLW player-turned-analyst McCarthy suggested Garcia was on a hiding to nothing. McCarthy said Lyon should have directed his spray at a more senior player, and would be better off playing Garcia in the VFL rather than giving him limited minutes in the AFL. After journalist Josh Gabelich said on 'The Round So Far' that it was "brutal" treatment of a 19-year-old, McCarthy responded: "Cleary he's trying to make a point and set a standard, but Hugo Garcia is in his 16th game of (AFL) football. He had 23 minutes of game time across one-and-a-half quarters. "He's pointed the finger at Hugo Garcia for not playing the 'stay forward' mid. But in the first quarter, Lachie Neale's direct opponent was Jack Steele - the captain of the club - and he allowed Neale to waltz into an open goal and kick the first goal of the game. "For me, if you're sending a message, it's a player like that you send a message through, not a 16-gamer who's still learning the ropes. If you don't want to play him or give him the opportunity to learn from his mistakes, don't play him. Let him learn in the VFL, and then when he's ready to play that role in the AFL, play him there. "For me, roasting a player on the bench before quarter-time and subbing him out in the second quarter is not going to help a player learn. It's going to send them the other way. I don't really know what Hugo Garcia is going to get out of that for the next few weeks." "If you're sending a message, it's a player like that that you send a message to, not a 16-gamer.'- Kate McCarthy on Ross Lyon's take on Hugo GarciaWatch Now: — (@AFLcomau) April 27, 2025 However not everyone agrees. While some believe Lyon was off the mark, others felt he was well within his rights to issue a spray considering the way things are going. Veteran broadcaster Stephen Quartermain countered: "Sometimes tough love is the best love. We can't kiss and cuddle the modern player all the time. I bet you Hugo Garcia has learnt a valuable footy lesson." no more cuddly Ross .. love the good old spray .. bloody modern sensitive players need a kick — MARTY BOY (@M4RTiBoi) April 26, 2025 If my boss treated me like this I'm gone the next day — Amyl (@amylthesniffer) April 27, 2025 @stkildafc Hugo Garcia was playing hard and trying to get in and Steele's timing was way off all game. Steele is not fit or is too slow now. Bad decision by Ross Lyon.I hope he apologised to Hugo and Hugo stays at St Kilda. Memories of how Ross treated Luke Ball — john sinisgalli (@johnvsinisgalli) April 27, 2025 Lyon said the first quarter was "really disappointing" that players weren't "tuned in mentally to the conditions and the opponents like they needed to." He added: "We had some good passages, but we're not executing at a high enough standard for long enough." with AAP
