S\ufefft Kilda coach Ross Lyon<\/a> has lept to the defence of rival coach, Western Bulldogs leader Luke Beveridge<\/a>, who has come under fire for causing a disconnect amongst players and key club figures.<\/p>\n

Beveridge\ufeff's selections decisions, which include axing small defender Caleb Daniel<\/a> and lack of clarity for his playing group has gained criticism, as the club struggles to repeat their 2016 premiership efforts.<\/p>\n

Their 2-3 win-loss record has also come under fire, with fears he has lost trust from the broader Bulldogs committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lyon slammed the doubt in Beveridge's game plan, as the Bulldogs leader denied his club is going through a rebuild.<\/p>\n

"(As an) AFL coach, the brethren, I think we get judged hard," Lyon said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

"I think he is clearly great at what he does.<\/p>\n

\"Luke<\/p>\n

"I'm not here to talk about the Bulldogs, but I do hear the noise.\ufeff"<\/p>\n

The noise has now turned its attention to Thursday night, with the Dogs and Saints locked in to face off at Marvel Stadium.<\/p>\n

Both clubs are 2-3 after five rounds, with both under pressure to prove their doubters wrong.<\/p>\n

The Saints, however, will have to take on the Dogs with one less star, as key forward Max King looks unlikely to play.<\/p>\n

\"Max<\/p>\n

King is sore after suffering a knee injury.<\/p>\n

But Lyon is confident his side will fill the big hole left by the star young goalkicker.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"I think (Anthony) Caminiti has shown in the second half his really good form. Tim Membrey's in pretty good nick.<\/p>\n

"We'd love him (King) in, but we're more than capable without.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
