Alistair Clarkson apparently wants Rath on his team for next year so he might be gone.

Re: And so it begins
Why have top 8 then .... just have a top 4 because the rest are making up the numbers ..... in fact there are 7 teams in the finals making up the numbers ...... may as well just get rid of them altogetherWayne42 wrote: ↑Wed 10 Aug 2022 10:58pmFinally, someone gets it, Thanks sunsaints.sunsaint wrote: ↑Wed 10 Aug 2022 5:34pm honestly why do we want to play finals?

Re: And so it begins
Tony, there's a theory that you actually work at the club.
But...quoting Grant Thomas in this way, is confusing- how can you quote him as a source when he doesn't have your inside knowledge?
Were we wrong to think you're at the club, when now it's clearly evident that you're just one of us?
Another outsider?
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

I just laugh at how posters in this site trip over themselves to swallow everything this T74 character blurts like he's some evangelical preacher deep inside the club.
Yorkeys is your perfect example of the disciple and not only repeats T74s claims to promote them as truth but adds a fair amount of his own GST in the interpretation. And then you get the pelicana who swallow Yorkeys derived conspiracy theories. And so on it goes as the ramblings snowball.
Don't get me wrong, it's this type of banter that keeps me coming back to SA. Places like this on the internet are pure entertainment.

I think I recall at the time of Ratten's re signing you were one of the main happy clappers that this re-signing brought stability to our club.
T74's post as I read it, is that Tony himself has formed an opinion that Rath isn't healthy for the environment at the club. GT'S tweet merely backs up his opinion which has likely been formed independently. Not that hard to figure out.

'Where there's smoke, there's fire' re Thomo's tweer.
He's implying that Thomo is a reliable source although Thomo is a millionaire businessman who tweets like Trump about the club 'as a pure outsider'.
Tony74 wants us to think he's at the coalface yet he's elevated Thomo above him? An outsider?

Re: And so it begins
Exactly. T74 has posted in the past on Rath, which has not been glowing.
Personally my opinion too is that Rath is bad for us, and that Rath is the keying driver for our current gameplan. And that he is too stubborn to realise that it is 1/ not working and 2/ that other clubs counter its aspects easily.

Re: And so it begins
From Stavro BF usually reasonably reliable. IF true tells you plenty ….coaches think they’re doing wonderful
King doesn’t need any additional goal kicking help cause “we got it covered”…..
Delusional
Tigers arse holes Lade went on to win 3 flags
He’s a dud and if Brett backs what’s that tell you about Brett???
********€********
There was a few coterie members tonight telling anyone who would listen about their dinner with Lade during the week.
According to Lade
“the issue isn’t coaching, it isn’t training and it isn’t tactics.
The reason we have slumped is all on the players. They are the ones who need to lift.“

EVERYONE bangs on about the draw but again when you are playing for the top eight - no team should be a danger side - isnt the idea you can beat them all anywhere regardless of ground?
All I said was we werent good enough to play finals.
