Precipitous decline of St Kilda (Part One)

Too much smiling at training

- Possible internal rifts within the team. The level of cohesion has gone down the crapper.

- Ratten’s game plan has been foiled by all the opposition clubs and plan b is b for bust.

- Max King’s confidence is shot and our forward line is dysfunctional.

It certainly looked like players weren’t trying in qtr 1 like they haven’t brought in here at all
Like they all just realised Brett the emperor has no clothes….
We are up Shyte creek for 2 years

Ya know, I don't think Max King's confidence is shot at all.
I think he is having a real crack, and he is showing some rumble 'n ready , but I also think there isn't cohesion anymore.
I think we are not a team in the forward line. Membery is his doing his part, like a private eye, his own private outfit, Butler his own private show, and Higgins looks like a boxer in a ring of his own. We are not a team.

The backline looks better. At least there is some finger pointing, which indicates a degree of group accountability..

But I don't think Max has lost confidence. I think he has passed beyond that point. I think he 100% believes he is the real deal, the goods, but, unfortunately, the penalty that arrives is (a,b,c) and he has to now execute (x,y,z)

Might be some truth
Forward coach = B Lade
Wasn’t up to it at Tigers too apparently
He’ll get life membership with us
McGlynn midfield apparently said on radio this week he has zero senior coaching ambition….WTF the guy ain’t even hungry ?????
All nice n fuzzy down there under Brett…cuddles Ratten
Even Carlton fans have mentioned when he coached them he likes bruise free, unstructured footy does Brett with real whole defensive structures an after thought.,
Just stick to our 1970s zone that sides pick through or “quick let’s have 3 Saints rush the ball carrier” whike the Dogs have already flicked it well out of congestion…off and away!
Sad part everyone knows Dogs crumble when you stop that slick extraction…except Brett
