Don't think we are not in the 8, I know.
"fantastic appointments" ?
1) Start of a new footy season. Same Rattshyte game plan, if in fact there even is a game plan, as all 2021 (2020 was an aberration with covid short quarters and the whole season should have an Asterix against it).
. Bomb it long into the forward line, mostly down the line, hope for a crumb, hope that Butler et al can repeat their 2020 flukes.
. Confuse the opposition by having all the tall forwards lead to the same blade of grass.
. Slow ball movement, sideways, backwards, have a good long think about your next move because the opposition needs time to take in some deep ones and reset.
I don't think so, I know.
2) Playing over and over the same slow, unskilled, undersized, gutless players who can't kick or handball or position themselves or read the play or make an intelligent football decision. Dumb inadequate players showed up by skilled youth trained well.
I don't think so, I know.
3) Unforgiveable weakness and surrender to the opposition during marquee games. No change in this pathetic culture for 10 years or more.
I don't think so, I know.
4) The club treats its members like mushrooms ( I am one) re-injuries and unexplained absences eg Jones.
I don't think so, I know.
5) Too much lovey-dovey, new age woke BS from the CEO down to the coach and others white-anting the whole purpose of the club. Years of this crap. No sign of it stopping. St Kilda should not ever need to apologize to anyone for anything.
The Cats are no longer the pussies.
Well past time to toughen TFU as a club and playing group.
I don't think so, I know.
I have been a strong Ratts fan, with a few doubts creeping in last year, but the effort against the Pies stunk.
I give him 4 more games to prove he is up to the job of motivating these guys, selecting skilled players only, even if new, and showing us some semblance of a working and innovative game plan. Wins would be great, but these three issues are absolute.
