[saynta]

Seems pissed off with all the negative nellies.

Might have to put up with mitchell first though.

Why is he even worried about media?
He should be discouraging the players from paying attention to external stuff

I would say that he is extremely pissed off with all the negative s*** coming out of the mouths of former players and journos with no f****** idea.

Even Joey and Roo had a shot at the club for picking Hanners and how f****** wrong were they.

And yes I am aware it was a Hanners v Owens thing. Guess what ? They both played.

8-3
In free fall lost 5/6 (to some crap teams in Bombers)
Still haven’t played a 4 quarter game
Just hung on against bottom 4 opponents
Clubs telling us window is open??
What the **** does he expect??
Honestly that tells internally some people are running round patting themselves on the back
That level of effort will not get you near a flag
Club should be demanding more
But I bet internally it was cuddle time…

do you reckon Max would have got the biggest cuddle, and would Ratts of whispered in his ear and said don't worry about your shocking set shot kicking ability, if you kicked 5.2 instead of 2.5 you'd be a star? ...more cuddles.

[Yorkeys]

No Vortex.
But to the OP.
Note that when the Pies win by small margins all concerned are wonderful and clever. We do it and it's a very different take. Beat WCE in Perth - thats 2 WA wins in a year and it's what have you done for me lately.
We are in the 8. Yes. After looking unlikely. But that is treated as so what, Cats will beat you (and everyone else of course.) The man has got, amongst other things, Paton, Wood and Sharman playing good confident footy and what do the press herd do, "Gosh that was poor - the genius Mitchell nearly got his team up after the Saints clocked off. But he didn't win did he and it means we owned the Hawks this year. And the press corp go do de do de do de do walk on the downside.
Fair enough Ratts, they are supposed to be professionals not a narky sewing circle.

[The_Dud]

Some people think a win papers over all the cracks, and then they wonder why we’ve won one premiership in 100+ years.

[SAINT-LEE]

Bit sooky?

It's obvious Saints have been absolutely awful even in our wins since the break.

If Ratts wants cudos he will need to actually produce a coaching effort that sees strong strategy, unique & accurate player selection and win games!

You deserve all the sh1te that's being hung on ya...grow up.

[The Fireman]

toughen the F up Ratts

f****** great post if I don't say so.

[Banger9798]

happy to see Ratts being less agreeable to be honest.
He is sticking up for his side , and recently seems to be getting more demanding of them too.
I think it's a good sign. Otherwise we are easy media targets.
Hawthorn we're coming off 4 wins in a row

[bangaulegend]

Yeah you could see he was pissed off & his body language showed he just had a gutful of the media's criticism & just wanted it finished ASAP.

I reckon he’d have sidled up to him and said….

“matey do you remember a guy by the name of Sharman???….he’s finished after 7 games and VFL standard only….you don’t want to end up like him…..bring it in and give Bretty a biiggg squeeeeeeze….there we are feel better?”

Wow!
Beat a Freo with no Mundy, Fyfe (think we saw what he did to our midfield on return game and who lost Darcy during the game who no was causing us all sorts….then feast on a bottom 2 Eagles side….woooo hooo Ratts you hit us humming!!
Completely ignore THE WAY we are playing
The fact we’d lost 5/6
Been 17 contested ball in AFL
Last 2 for % over that period….
Delusional
People just clearly happy to finish 10th - where Richo had us
With no system and nothing but scrappy manic pressure???
Even Hawks almost got over that late in the game ffs
You need more than just pressure to be top 4

[Teflon]

Yeah you could see he was pissed off & his body language showed he just had a gutful of the media's criticism & just wanted it finished ASAP.

He’s been coach 3 years
If we finish 10th/11th we’ve gone backwards every year he’s been at the club since 2020
We have played 1 4 qtr game this year (early Hawks)
We constantly allow sides to go on 5/7 goal runs against us
Had lost 5 of 6 leading into this
He’s got zero right to complain media are negative
Do your **** job Brett - fix the dysfunctional forward line and ball transition ffs

Couldn’t have said it better.
Too much bath water intake internally and a lot of more than pissed off supporters and members (rightfully so).

Ol’ Ratts doing a lot of deflecting.
His eyes were spinning in the last qtr with no idea what to do.

Wait until s*** hits the fan next year because at this rate we are dropping back to the bottom 6 or 7 based on the last 8 weeks. Appalling football even in the few wins since the bye. Dysfunctional, stop start, impotent, selfish crap.

Our scores are enough to say we’ll be lucky to kick a total of 20 goals in the next 3 rounds let alone win any of them.

[Scollop]

Wait until s*** hits the fan next year .........

Lethlean has it all under control. Hannas will be looking for a new job in 2023

Lethers has him earmarked to assist any player who is in rehab and not training with the main group (he has vast experience in this area)

If that doesn't wash they'll create a new job title and say he's employed in a leadership and mentoring role

Hannas old man is also being considered to take over from Ernie Merrick

5 or 6 goal runs....huh I haven't seen that happening much with any other team so you might be onto something with this crazy coach theory of yours.

And try not to worry about the dysfunctional forward line, Sharman is presently learning his forward craft in the backline and will be ready to unleash his natural running patterns and clutch goals in the forward line when Howard returns.

Are you a journo?

SunnyErnie's manager?

Disappointed we are in the 8. Won two in row?

A supporters forum indeed.

Backing the press against your coach. Sterling stuff.

[spert]

Yeah you could see he was pissed off & his body language showed he just had a gutful of the media's criticism & just wanted it finished ASAP.

I think Ratts more than likely would have been pretty peed-off after the last quarter effort where the Hawks walked all over us, instead of us extending our lead. Go to sleep for a quarter against Geelong and we will get buried.

[SaintPav]

Ratts obviously trying to manufacture an US versus THEM situation.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures…

Totally, how hard would it be for a coach to know what you want to execute but are short of talent and class to go to that next step.

Good on him for trying to manufacture the backs against the wall and nobody rates us mentality.

Oh, he doesn’t have to manufacture that bit…..
