It's battle of the coaches saints v blues
Will be super hard to beat the blues this round they are so pumped with their new coach and all.. But guess what Ratten is a former blue with more than one thing to prove.. Sacked by the blues as we know.. There is more on the line here than we know.. If the saints win this one Ratts is our man.

Good match ups everywhere. Steele will want to do a number on Cripps in his 100th.
Quietly confident the lads will get the job done. Saints by 23.

Re: It's battle of the coaches saints v blues
Seriously? If we beat Carlton, Ratts is our man? Carlton? No, if we'd beaten Adelaide maybe. But we didn't.Rubyjo wrote: ↑Thu 15 Aug 2019 8:11pm Will be super hard to beat the blues this round they are so pumped with their new coach and all..

Re: It's battle of the coaches saints v blues
You can't base what happened with North on what's going to happen with carlton.. Carlton are on the up talent everywhere... It's a different story altogether.freely wrote: ↑Thu 15 Aug 2019 10:52pmAs someone else said - yes, we noticed that with North.Rubyjo wrote: ↑Thu 15 Aug 2019 10:49pmYes seriously dude carlton has their man don't you get some games catch more weight due to clubs being on a high.

I love the cautious angst. The week everything went right hasn't happened yet. This is the week the penny drops and I'm confident we will end the year on a high note.

This will be close, we're 1.85 and blues are 1.95.
I say we win by 11 pts

Re: It's battle of the coaches saints v blues
Blues are on the up, but then again so are we. They’re not to be underestimated, they’re going to be very good, but we remain a bit of a bogey side for them.

Yeah it’ll be a good game. I just think we match up really well with them and will get on top at some point tomorrow.

Re: It's battle of the coaches saints v blues
I think it will be close
They have more talent but only based on potential & all their low draft picks
If we play well enough we win
Coniglio has said no to us (allegedly) but is this game possibly the "Coniglio Cup" ?
If we win, does he then reconsider accepting our offer ?
As a player I wouldn't be very happy about someone earning huge $$ whilst I'm "only" earning say $600,000
BUT
If if it helps to win a premiership then I wouldn't have a problem who earns what
(easy to say as a spectator )

Re: It's battle of the coaches saints v blues
We've won 20 out of the past 26 against them - and going back even further we were one of only two teams to beat them (by ten goals!) in their last premiership year 1995, and the only team to beat them twice in that year!

Re: It's battle of the coaches saints v blues
why is Webster still in the Zebs?
He's picked in a back pocket for the Rd 20 game vs Port Melb
Last week was a bye, so he couldn't get match fitness,
is there a chance he'll play Rd 23?
And Arrmo isn't picked, even missing off extended bench

Teague slaughtered Ratten in the battle !
That is unless Ratten was doing the right thing and try to and improve our draft position ( go kangas )

Ratten needs to make a statement this week with team selection if he wants the job.
He can not pick Newnes, Lonie, Carlisle, Paton or Savage next week.

Re: It's battle of the coaches saints v blues
Ratten didn’t coach well today.
Carlisle was a disaster, Bruce had to go far too high up the field. Marshall got a bath from Kruezer.
I thought Teague coached really well - manic, total pressure from a sound structure, even if they’re an ordinary team.

Re: It's battle of the coaches saints v blues
To see us play so loose in the last quarter - in their forward line with three unmarked players was "very disappointing, and it was hard to feel pleased" ... we went quite flat, although we were also in it until the end. Jake at FF - just might not work!
This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.
