Don't expect the little fella to, but jeez he hit the contest a lot harder, and with more attitude than some of his teammates this season. We had a lot of coasters.

Re: Ratta to shake up Saints forward half
Was only an opinion Cairnsman based on the chatter here and OP, not a mathematical equation. If it was though, I'm interested as to why you think I'm 57% off the mark.Cairnsman wrote: ↑Wed 14 Nov 2018 12:42pmAre you sure you aren't adding 1 + 1 and getting 3.1415926Ghost Like wrote: ↑Wed 14 Nov 2018 10:09am If this McCartin / Bruce talk to the backline is true then we are in more trouble than we imagined.
We have Carlisle, Brown, Roberton, Austin and Clavarino.
If two relatively senior players at our club cannot make the seniors in the forward line, they are list cloggers and should not be tried in positions that others are better equipped to fill.
If there's any truth to this, then we are picking up King! Meaning the development of Battle and Marshall will be stunted & the value of McCartin & Bruce diminished. Diminished because the club has flagged they don't see any value or hope in them making a key forward spot their own.
I personally think it's rubbish, McCartin & Bruce will (or should) be given 2019 to prove themselves as AFL forwards. Otherwise they should have been traded this year. Then picking up King (if available) would make sense.
Would we be claiming it is genius or progressive if it was Alastair Clarkson.
We aren't selecting King.
Whether it was Jock McHale or Tim Watson, let alone Clarko, I would not be lauding it. If others see it that way, as a Saints man I can only hope it is genius.
My god I hope I can take your sentence on King to the bank. Have you heard something or simply your belief?
Disregard that question Cairnsman, I just noted your answer in another thread. Cheers!

Re: Ratta to shake up Saints forward half
Entirely possible. He certainly didn't test well in that area. I'd still give it a go, since we have way too many key forwards as is. Really, any experimentation would be a welcome change to the 2018 'we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas' approach.
Yeah nah pleasing positive

Re: Ratta to shake up Saints forward half
Battle actually has a massive motor for a big man. He is a modern day forward. His motor will only get bigger and better too.

Re: Ratta to shake up Saints forward half
This disgusting and inappropriate nickname for our new senior assistant coach must stop now!
Some of you may think Ted calling Brett RATTA is just an abbreviation of his name, but it is untrue.
Ted knows the real meaning and is using this to degrade a club official indicating he comes from or lives in an inappropriate abode.

Re: Ratta to shake up Saints forward half

you can't play dumb - the meaning is now in the public consciousness. thank god joffa has the decorum not to post the definition or he'd be banned? surely?

Now this is just trouble making and trolling from you two. Plain and simple. Very obvious for all to see it doesn't even need explaining.

Deflecting away from the truth Ted.

Re: Ratta to shake up Saints forward half
No Joffa. You purposely just dredged this old post up to cause trouble. Then you get little arse claps and thanks from your World of Warcraft mates from the Moorabbin public library.
Pure trolling. Moderator take note.
As I said, those with a bit of guts and ticker will admit they knew what the term meant. Still waiting for them to admit it. Silence...as usual.
Again, talk footy. Pretty easy.

Re: Ratta to shake up Saints forward half
I think it would be good judgement, rather than good luck. The vulgar language is all yours Ted, you took ownership of it as soon as you posted the link. The rest of us were just fine attempting to talk footy without it...now it doesn't suit you, I guess?tedtheodorelogan2018 wrote: ↑Tue 27 Nov 2018 12:52pm Good luck. Truth hurts too I guess.

Re: Ratta to shake up Saints forward half
Oh yes, that's right, it was your mate that posted the link, after you spent 3 weeks or so accusing everyone of alluding to something vulgar...you don't perhaps, think might have encouraged him? Maybe there's a link between your dumping over every second thread on the forum, desperately trying to make everyone aware you know a dirty word, and that post? Now, after all your high school carry on you would like it to stop? Hmmm...

Re: Ratta to shake up Saints forward half
Anyway, good to see Ratta taking charge of the forwards at training. Looks like he's ripping into them.
