C'mon fellas. This is almost funny.

Turn the commentary off and play Benny Hill music for the rest of the game.

Ratten's half time address should simply say if your opponent beats you in the next half you will be de-listed.

Got to feel for the poor bugger playing on G.Ablett :eek:

Ratten must go. This is an absolute embarrassment. I don't care if we win the game. These mental lapses occur too frequently and hopefully from this debacle we see the back of him. I like the bloke but this is too much. I'm fed up with supporting a 'loser ' club.

Yeah. Thank God they're playing for Ratts. we'd be 100 points down if they weren't.

So keep Ratts, sack all the players ??

:donk:

Would Clarkson let his team lose to the GC by 40?
Would Longmire?

So many bloody excuses

Endless excuses

That is our club for the last 20 years

There have been three defining games this year.
1. V Adelaide when a win would have put us on top.
2. v Port to stay in the eight.
3. v GCS to stay in contention for finals.

The players/Coach, it doesn't matter who have failed in all three.

We can still win this game but it will take a few positional moves (ulikely) and a change in approach from every player. The tackling is crap. Skill levels are crap. Intensity is crap. Umpiring is favouring the GCS (Kreuzer mark on the line, Scotland free, Ablett 540 followed by a 2 metre toe poke etc)

I would put Waite back to CHB because w are short there. Move Yarran to the wing and tell Gibbs to run the footy from the midfield.

Simmo is having a shocker and why he leads to the left pocket when he is a natural hooker and shit set shot anyway is just mind boggling.

This has disaster written all over it.

Then, what do you do, Arnhem blues, what do you do? Major rebuild time? Someone has to be held responsible for building this list, at the very least. I have never seen a club so close to a flag yet so far away. What happens from here is anybodies guess but it better be good. :mad:

The players might well play for him but can he coach for them.

Completely outplayed. They are handling the ball so much better than us and using it far better. They have a big future.
We are playing like we have never had to play with a greasy ball and have cement legs.

Usual flaky performance when the pressure is on.

Need to trade heavily this year.

It's the defensive structure, not the forward so much. They are kicking everything because they are getting better delivery. It's the North game all over again, 19-6 wasn't it? Well this mob have done something similar.
