Re: Starting 22 and the rest
Surely time has come when Ross is no longer a lock for starting 22. McKenzie has earned a wing spot, Hill WILL play halfback again, opposite Sinclair. Billings high half forward, Clark other wing alternating with Hannebery (if fit). Battle third tall, Wilkie getting best opposition forward, Howard s...

Re: D Mac
DMac is a credit to himself how he has persevered and improved his game. I would have him in our starting 22 now as his two way running, ability to hit the score board, his strength in the air and his kicking are now best 22. Seb Ross is a work horse and been a great foot soldier for the club, but ...

Re: Expectations for Community Series 2022...
I dont think we will see too many players being tried in differing positions. Battle & Highmore competing for the opening CHB position - my money is on Battle. Membrey now has some pressure for the 3rd tall forward position with Sharman & Wood pressing. Butler, Byrnes & Billings will ha...

D Mac
This time last year I did a post talking up Jimmy Webster, at that stage the forgotten man at the club. I got surprisingly little support of him, with large numbers not having him in the team…reckon he ended up playing every game bar 2. This time round I’m focasing on Dan McKenzie. It’s safe to say ...

Boston has been previously affiliated with the Saints' junior ranks, having been part of their 'Futures' squad in 2019 as an U15s prospect. The teenager is now in lin...

I apologise in advance for potentially getting ahead I myself but I cannot help but get excited by Marcus Windhager. Already possessing an AFL ready physique, ‘Windy’ also has endurance, skill and power in his arsenal. Don’t be surprised if this kid debut’s in round 1…can’t wait to see him in an int...

If you wanted to have THE ultimate athlete, look no further than Ash Barty. At the peak of her powers at 25 years of age, she possesses an unbelievable tennis IQ, moves brilliantly around the court, has pretty much every shot in the book, and if all that is not enough, has the humility, pride in her...

Re: Nick Coffield
The main issue I saw with Acres was he had the tools but lacked aggression and self belief. I used to think Coffield lacked self belief but after a breakout 2021, thought he was on his way! He looked hesitant pre season last year and that carried through to the season proper. He has looked very dete...

Re: Training - Friday January 21
Wanganeen-Milera is an interesting one…last time I saw him was December 16 but he didn’t train.
I haven’t seen him at all since, Hope he’s not homesick and back in SA.

NICK COFFIELD - Looks determined to put an up and down 2021 behind him...more aggressive today at the ball and body. Fitter, leaner and running harder or bigger, stronger and hitting more contests He does seem a bit stronger but I think the main difference is mindset. Perhaps he realises he’s not g...

Training - Friday January 21
Approximately 40 players were split into 2 groups, with the main senior guys wearing black jumpers and others in yellow. Interestingly, Windhager was with the black jumper group, perhaps a reward for his impressive recent training performances. He was again prominent today, a beautiful mover with po...

Re: Is Wood any Good?
I was really impressed with Wood at the last training session before Christmas, his intensity and energy were obvious.
Hope to see him train tomorrow, as Sharman has been a bit 'off' recently and you'd imagine those 2 would be competing for the one spot in the team.

Re: Ernie Merrick new mentor to Ratts
Ernie has had a lot of success at Melbourne Victory, winning 2 premierships.
He’s a highly respected coach…can’t have too many successful people at a club that’s been mediocre for 80% of it’s history!!

Re: Training Friday January 14th
I have absolutely zero inside information, but from the outside looking in and based on what has happened numerous times prior to NFL drafts, I think it is possible that Windhager's back injury was fully or partially a fabrication, a story propagated by the saints or their proxies leading up to the...

Re: Training Friday January 14th
If the Adams injury is a scaphoid bone injury, he could be out for a while yet. I've had one and it's a bugger of a thing to overcome. It will take at least 8 weeks to heal and he won't have strength in that wrist for a long time. On Windhager, his highlights looked very impressive. If the club sto...

Re: Will Hanners be in Ratts best side in 2022
There might be something in it...He just ran laps yesterday and didn't train Monday.
He did, however, seem very upbeat yesterday and, unlike this time last year, didn't have a compression bandage on his calf.
