Re: Incompetent North footy department screws Ratten
A damn shame they screwed up with the interchange breach. Would have loved to see the Swines lose that game.
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!

Re: Incompetent North footy department screws Ratten
There is a system to the interchange, the interchange official continually lets the clubs know how many they've had, Norf knew they had 1 left and arranged it, but then Shiels came off with cramp so they ended up swapping 2 players, even though they realised the stuff up, it was too late. There was talk that Rampe on the the swans bench made a song and dance about Norf going over the limit. The rest is how it panned out.
The list changes for 2025 have begun, always an interesting time for an avid supporter.

How truly bad must the Swans be this year to give up 15 goals to North though?

Well, in the old days, you used to lose your whole score so this is somewhat better.

Re: Incompetent North footy department screws Ratten
I wonder if that call would have been made if it were Collingwood or Geelong?
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Re: Incompetent North footy department screws Ratten
What an incredible round of football so far...
With North's sad and miserable loss, especially hurtful for us Saints who respected Mr Ratts and for all he gave, and knowing the AFLs decades-long agenda to erode North to the point of desperation whence they give up and go to Tassie, whilst giving the Swans every little sweetener they can find, it makes you wonder...arrghhh...and even Brad Scott (and who likes the Scott bros?) saw his new team win by a point over Richmond, ending a terrible streak for them, not only this season, but in Dreamtime games period, whilst he can later notice his old team at North, kicked down the back lane a little further.
alas..
We should be empowered by this series of events.....
St Kilda will have a chance tomorrow, at the bleak and miserable hour when the sun will set just 19 minutes into the first quarter (yes 4:59) , and the 19 fans (let's face it, whilst bashing Tassie for not enough fans, they never report Sydney figures honestly) ..St Kilda will have a chance to stamp our identity. This is our Gallipoli!
(I know i sound like Joseph Goebbells...sorry)

Re: Incompetent North footy department screws Ratten
stupid idea to even have an interchange limit. why make a rule that forces clubs and officials to count to 75? keep it simple. it's like the dumb sub rule - you have four interchange players, why have a sub?
oh in case of injury?
well put on an interchange player.
but then you have one less player.
them's the breaks - and if another player gets injured?
you're right - let's have two subs! etc.
or four umps.
our umpires are pretty crap, we just don't have enough good umpires.
let's have an extra ump on the field then!
where are we going to get an extra ump for every game?
we'll use the umps that weren't good enough to get a game before!

Come on..Poor North..they were busting a gut at the finish, desperate to hold on to an unlikely win, and they got an injury report, and just made a snap decision to do a double interchange..
Got to feel sorry for them ..

Re: Incompetent North footy department screws Ratten
asiu does have a point.
Nobody feels sorry for us, and even if they do, I don’t want their sympathy, as I am sure none of us do.
