Jesus 29 stop it FFs.

It's embarrassing. Your saying 80 points is acceptable?

FMD.

Would ANY quality coach accept 80 points ?

Stick Ratts in a line with any coach of the last 5 years. He'd be considered worse than everyone , including Matty Knights and Mark Harvey. He's a poor mans Dean Bailey, he's a boob an imbecile , completely useless.

He could the worst AFL coach since Spud Frawley.

Glad I won't be in Melbourne for this week's game. Freezing cold. Rampant filth supporters everywhere.

Have Foxtel ever issued an R rating for AFL games? Carlton kiddies should be protected from seeing this.. :lol:

Poor Ratts. No I am not being a concern troll. A 120-150 point turnaround from the 13th April game looks to be well and truly on the cards.

Lost all belief for this year. Can't see it turning around sadly. Focus shifted to 2013. 38 weeks till round one. Gonna need some inspired list management at all levels to get us back into it next year.

I'm definitely going to be there. Improving in some areas, need to improve in others...two months of this rubbish with few big losses on the way is getting alittle too much. We can have a decent crack if that forward line starts functioning and stop playing so damn disjointed - we make so many silly unecessary mistakes. We are finding the ball just don't know what to do with it when we have it. What a nightmare.

We'll lose badly only because we have lots and lots of unpreventable, unforeseen injuries and guys coming back from unpreventable, unforeseen injuries.

NO. OTHER. REASON.....

What a frustratingly disappointing season it's turned out to be....but the upside is we cannot possibly persist much longer with those currently in charge?....some of us saw this coming a fair while back whilst some saw it differently....but I reckon most of us are on the same page now....change must happen and soon....

Hopefully some boys in NB stand up..McInnes & Thornton in particular. Three rucks won't win us many games, so time to stop persisting with it.

I recommend drinking a dozen cans before the game. That's what I will be doing...

maybe we will give up on the 3 ruck man experiment. If he plays, do yourself a favour and watch warnock closely. Lazy lazy football player, never imposes himself, and never provides a target, he is incapable of taking a mark or get the football. seems to match his work ethic off the field.


One ruck is playing KPF because we dont have anyone else to play that position. It really isnt a 3 ruck experiment.

Pies by 80pts against a Carlton reserve side.

Bower in to play on Dawes or Cloke. No other options except Thornton but Bower is in better form at this stage.

It will be ugly. Many fans will expect Mclean to beat Swann and Watson to beat Dawes and Hampson to kick 6 and Bootsma or Dale or someone to beat Wellingham and Collins to come in and beat Beamsor sidebottom and when they don't they will say its because we don't have any system but i can tell you right now it will be because the Collingwood guys are better players.


Love the optimism club but FMD wake up. If we are fielding a reserves side it's because we have [REDACTED] up our recruitment. Its not like half the senior side is out. Most of the players playing last night shouldn't even been playing.

Wake up club because there is no excuse for the shit we are coughing up each week. Ratts saying a win isn't too far away reeks of desperation in trying to keep his job.

Plenty of players in the ressies that he can call on.
Instead he plays guys that arent fit.. or dont fit.
McKiness
Kerr
Russell
Bower
Collins
Thornton

There are six right there who should be able to step right in and if the club knew what the hell it was doing it wouldnt miss a beat

McInnes deserves a run
Kerr - lazy player but may spark in AFL worth a shot possibly cant do worse than Garlett.
Russell - don't think the issue is with players of his ilk/
Bower - prefer McInnes BowBow as had his chances
Collins - potential to offer flexibility in forward line - should have played as medium forward.
Thornton - fingers crossed he has a solid game need someone with smarts across half forward taking a mark with sound kicking skills.

The problem is that 3 of those are the usual whipping boys who he won't play just to make a point.

Jesus29. Now that would be a handle. I don't think that highly of myself to run with it though. I will stuck with CLub29 because a mate of mine went to school with Simon Beaumont.

I said nothing about Ratts. He put together this team so the buck stops with him.

If you can hold the Collingwood team sheet up next to our current one and think they are not a 10 goal better team on talent alone then you are not being very realistic. Add another half a dozen goals on the fact that their team is better balanced and few more because they are good side playing as a team and not for themselves and it is going to get ugly next week.

That's a very Dees way of thinking.

I prefer the other line of thinking. If you wear the jumper you are good enough.

Doesn't take talent to run, tackle and block.
Doesn't take talent to get in the face of your opponent.
Doesn't take talent to stick up for your team mates when they are the victims of obvious illegal tactics.

This shit just ain't happening..

.... And I think well look better against the Pies because they don't rely on heavy tags normally.

Unfortunately our only hope is to get thrashed .

All that might peg back a goal or three.

Its just me saying it not the club so it doesn't matter if its a Dees way of thinking.

Collingwood would have to have a really bad day and we have one out of the box for the result to go our way. A big loss won't shock me and I wont be blaming it on structures. I will be realistic and look at the matchups and more than likely see that each player got beaten by their direct opponent except Judd.

We don't have the talent.

Wallsy running with the 'plan for 2013' now, send injured players to surgery, gets games into kids. Most sense I've heard in a long time from him.

Should start this week.
