Good on him for trying to manufacture the……………nobody rates us mentality.
Oh, he doesn’t have to manufacture that bit…..
How did I not see that... Ratts has to have the second worst coaching gig in the AFL. Listening to King on SEN this morning talking about what Ratts said in his Pressser and said he feels we are about 2 trade seasons away from getting a full compliment of the required players to challenge. I think Kingy has been following me on the socials.
And I don't think anybody who has got even half a clue about footy would disagree. Our biggest challenge is to nail the trade periods for the next 2 years. And therin lies the critical mass of scepticism. Get it wrong and we are back to rebuild mode by the end of 2024.
I don't think it was just the negative comments about St Kilda in the footy media.
Gauging by the number of "loyal" members and supporters bagging the coach on this forum, some quite vile and vitriolic, I expect that the club has also received a hammering from that section of the club via email and social media.
No wonder Ratten let his frustration show in the post match press conference, wouldn't anyone??
"Any candidate for political office, once chosen for leadership, must have the will to take the wheel of a very powerful car, tasked from time to time to make a fast journey down a narrow, precipitous mountain road – and be highly skilled at driving. Otherwise, he is disqualified from the company of competent leaders."

I don’t disagree but I don’t think there are many clubs than can afford to stuff up two consecutive drafts. It totally stuffs up the demographics of a team list.

You really do need to widen your scope and venture out of this very small internet enclave that is Saintsational every now and then. You're last voting thread should have told you there are only about 20 members who come here regularly these days.
I'd go a step further and say if you Google the definition of echo chamber there will be a picture of the Saintsational banner. Free thoughts don't flourish in this environment...just saying.

I think I heard Buckley make the comment that whilst Ratts comments were strange it was possibly more a message to his players this week and a theme he is going to leverage from to motivate his players because as we know, there will he absolutely nobody in footy land who will rate us to get within even 50 points. The gap in talent and class is massive this week so Ratts has to try something different to get the players up for just avoiding a 100 point loss.

We are talking about St Kilda yeah?
Ok.
Just making the point…

I am no longer a lone voice in calling out the disloyal forum keyboard warriors. Excellent post mate.
I'm with Ratten on this . Media looking to bag us or ignore us. Take the wankfest over Coll. last week ,if that was us would we get the exposure? No ,maybe see it once but not over and over.
By the end of the weekend 2 other sides dropped their bundles, Gold Coast just hung on, Bris 7 goals up and lost we will see how much that gets this week. Also sat night Footscray looked in control at half time, I went to bed they got well and truly whacked in second half.
We are not the only ones to lose our way in a match.

champion data must have said that as King doesn't have an original thought on football without champion data. Flip flops more than a pair of thongs

He's ok but it's clear he's been reading my online stuff this season but I don't mind he isn't crediting me as long as he is verbatim.

It appears that any thought that isn’t yours is somehow not free thinking.
Do you listen to yourself ?

Secret_Vortex is happy to bless us with all his 'free thoughts', just give him a sec to go to YouTube and find them

Finally, it's taken a while but at least you're onboard now.
To answer your question, NO. Far out I'd fly up my own backside if I listened to anything I said.
