By re-adjust, you would re-adjust your training and psychology to peak at different times to when you originally planned. Its not rocket surgery.

As i said - you cant aim to be up and win every game. They are unrealistic expectations. Like any business expecting to have gun sales results every single month - outdoing every other month. It is just not feasilble. You plan for the peaks and troughs and make the most of your resources when you are going to get the most reward - ie September.

I follow your point of view, but dont agree with it.

You chuckle at comparing ourselves to G, CW and H. And you dismiss planning a season out. What do you think CW, G and H are doing?

i think theyre trying to win as many games as they can to finish top 4 and have a double chance.

what do you think theyre doing???

Exactly. They are aiming for a top 4 position. And they are planning for that. And planning that they dont run out of puff when they get there.


why would they run out of puff if they win but dont run out of puff if they lose??? :sly:

Dont reckon it was that bad.Bad,yes,but not that bad.Give the Saints credit,they beat us at our own game with the small forward setup.Dont blame the players,blame the coaching box.They twigged far too late.They should have nipped it in the bud early and we would have shit it in.............sure,a lot of players were off the boil.Coaches need to recognise this and provide advice and guidance,motivation and inspiration.Dont hang it on the players all the time......................they are copping a caning when i believe it should be the coaching box,coz i reckon they had a shocker.And that is not directed solely at Ratten.I reckon some of those assistants are overated and have too much say too the point it is ridiculous.....RATTS,GET UP IN THE BOX AND SHOW "EM WHOS BOSS.Too many cooks spoil the broth.Paralysis by analysis.All these coatpullers are clouding your brain.Eff me,have a listen too yourself at the press conferances after the game.Fair dinkum,they are unwachable. If ya gonna fall,fall on your own sword,not some would be if he could be's sword.

PS...............when you go back up in the box where you belong Ratts,take your two,and only two most trusted lieutenants with you.

Ok Im out. I've explained my point of view and rational thinking several times.

And why cant optimism be realism? Less so than pessimism?

Funny thing about coaches is ..... my cousin sat near the Saints box and he swears Laidley was telling Watters what to do and Watters was passing it on through the phone.

because a pessimistic realist doesn't want an optimistic realist discussing their point of view?

Mate...

Sports science is taking over the world... and rotting peoples minds.

Ratten said he couldnt get stuck into our players at training once cos the sports scientist told him its a slow week at training.... lol

Scott didnt have a lazy weak at training this week after losing to the Doggies

Football is simple.
always was always will be (apart from the rule changes.

The x Adelaide coach was sports science crazy... probably cost them a flag

If youre challenging you wanna win games
If youre shit you wanna lose games
If youre half way you make a decision to either try to win or not.

Top teams dont pick and choose winning.they just win!!!

You go out to win every game and establish your dominance over the opposition.
You establish a reputation of strenght and unbeatability.

Look at the great sides of not only the last decade Geelong, Brisbane but all great sides with clustered premierships.
Hawthorn in the 80's
Carlton in the 79-82.
These teams were hard and they were tough to play against week in week out.
Everyone refers to todays football compared to 10-20 years ago.
Footy might have changed the way it's played but one thing that hasn't changed is will to win.
I know it's practicaly impossible to be up for 26 weeks in the year but when everyone starts making consessions and excuses for the players, coach's and situations and re-evaluating our objectives then we are not reaching our primary objective.
Looking to finish top four is not your goal at the start of the year.
That goal is to finish first and destroy the opposition their dreams and reputations along the way.
That's how you attack a new season and assert your authority on clubs that shouldn't be even be in the same ball park as you.
We needed to beat teams that were above us last year and stay ahead of the pack.
Well boys that hasn't happened yet.
That's the reality.
That's not good enough, and I hope Ratten and the team is hurting and listening to the outside comments because now it's time to answer your critics.

If the Blues lose the next 3 games and Synbad did that each time he posted he could pay for the site on his own :wink: But then again we best check payment isn't based on quality of words per cm. :lol: :lol:

you start with a plan and practice it.

game day is tweaking.

we haven't planned.

I warned about it.

its not like they should need me. but then again the main man is not the most tactically astute coach going around is he?
