Ratts presser is here:

More of the same shit. I want Ratts to show us how pissed off he is, rather than going on about how we're the youngest side in the comp etc etc.

I'm no fan of Chocco Williams, but I'll never forget that one presser he did when he labelled his team's performance as 'gutless', nor will I forget 'pitiful Pittman' from a decade ago. You know what happened soon after these sprays? Both teams won a flag.


Gosh. You should write a letter to Brett so he knows about this.



You love baiting don't you verbs........infact, you're the master of it


You flatter me.

If all it comes down to is the coach going ballistic in a post match press conference, then damn it, Ratten should be told about it so he can do it and we can win the premiership.

Simple really.

Perhaps you need to change your life a little?

In future, plan your day around our wins, and avoid our losses. You'll be much happier as a result.

Dedicated supporters also stay til the end and then have to do the walk of shame with smug @#$%&! Crows flower laughing as I walk past them in my gear...

Yeah we lost, but the manner in which we lost is totally unacceptable. I cannot accept a club who I've followed for so long, can put in a effort like today. Not acceptable, and I hope to hell questions are asked...

I bet you do accept it. If you actually don't, you won't be back next week.

I remember the first time I went to the horse track , I won 500.00 easy

Every time that I have been back to the races I have thought I was going to win at least 500.00

Easy money

However It has not worked out that way

We played Richmond in the first round and it was like we were unbeatable , now to me it looks like we think every time we walk on the field we will win just by turning up

NEWSFLASH - We are just not that good

Also the coaching of this team and the building of a structure is a great concern, please midfield coaches teach the rest of the midfield to look after Judd

No I won't accept the effort today. Next week the story can be continued, and of course I'll be back, but as for today's effort unacceptable.....

Half the team are 20 or under and they are going to be inconsistent. Ratten is a young coach too. It takes time to develop a core of players with experience who will win you a flag. We have enough talent to be a very good side in the coming seasons if the coaching staff are up to getting the most out of their skills and get them playing a coherent brand of team football.

It doesn't help when the club comes out with marketing slogans that place expectations in the media and it's supporters!!!

We feel like we have egg on our faces in front of our opposition supporters!!!

You'll have to draw the line somewhere though. If we lose again next week, and the week after, eventually you'll either accept we are what we are, or move on to something else.

What a dreadful effort.

Dennis Armfield should never play AFL football again. Worthless.

Steven Browne looks scared and makes a mistake every time he gets near the ball.

Mitch Robinson was outclassed today.

Simon Wiggins = Ordinary.

Michael Jamison = Overrated. What has he ever done to be so well regarded?

Bryce Gibbs set the tone with his kick-in at the start.

How much do we miss Scotland, Waite and WALKER?


POSITIVES

Paul Bower arguably our best defender now.

Shaun Hampson going to be good. Matthew Kreuzer excellent again.

Nick Stevens played very well.


IMHO two of your comments are way off the mark: Jamo has been one of the finds of the last 2 years. He has rarely been beaten and has played plenty of good footy. His shoulder is far from 100% right at the moment and that isn't helping him. Browne is a kid with < 20 games, and he was one of our better players today.

And I reckon Stevo was just making up for the last month today :smile:

So Verbs, what are you on about? Are you happy with today's performance? See no areas for improvement? Think the MC has no responsibility for how the team plays? Think half hearted efforts from the team are fine? So when Ratts said anything but finals would be unacceptable did you interpret that as meaning anything we dish up is acceptable?

With such low expectations of the team you must have been really enjoying the last 7 years. Personally I'd rather see us put in a competitive performance against a second rate crows side. But I guess if our performance today was satisfactory to you then you'll forever be a happy man.

We simply can't handle physical pressure. We go to water whenever the wicks turned up, time and again.

Add to that the fact that there was no run today and we were gone from the start. Very poor effort.
