Stocker, Owens, Windhager, NWM even 18 y.o. Phillipou ... they have improved us. And they will keep maturing and getting better. I agree, we have improved over 2020 and 2022. But re the post match analysis ... Billings and Coffield could have made a difference ... we took too many small forwards int...

Taking 3 small forwards into tough finals where you'd logically expect them to be outbodied and outmarked ... seriously!

Amateur St Kilda hour ... we never learn.

Gresham ... and that's it.

A chance for 2 bigger bodied inclusions.

It's like falling for our own 3 card trick. Unbelievable.

The ball waltzed out too easily from our F50 entries. Let's face facts: Our game plan allows too much space for opposition halfback lines, conceding too many easy rebounds. We've seen it all year. GWS developed too many clean chains from half back, and an easy link up with their strong midfield. Des...

I deleted the wrong post ... this was a repeat post.

After this spanking people are going to smash everyone and the Rantometer will explode!! Rant Rater: 1. RTB is a @#!% & we hate him ( although we ALL know coaches make NO difference to outcomes) 2. [PLAYER] is also a @#!% & we hate him/them....they must be replaced 3. [MEMBER] is also a @#!...

Liam Henry

The new Brad Hill

Non contributors today

Some of or young ‘stars’

Hill was great today, but I hope we don't pay overs for Henry.

Stuffing up previous drafts has left us with no other option ... we may need to pay through the nose, unfortunately.

RTB should get off his high coach's box and be a ground-level coach, geeing on his team and giving players immediate feedback and instructions.

Gresham has started to come good ... needs to continue dancing around and bringing it in the second half.

They are missing Coniglio ... we can do it.

RTB ... recruit the best!!!

We need 3 topline midfielders/playmakers... with run and carry.

Selection mistake not to pick Stocker ahead of one of our small forwards.

We need to hold it in our forward line at least.
It's been coming out too easily.

Our talented kids and recent good recruiting needs to be acknowledged. The recent recruiting happened prior to our new coaches taking over the reins, and there's no guarantee that this will continue ... let's hope it does. And Stocker should be played ... you need skilled, hard-bodied players in fin...

See next post ...

GWS are unbeatable… You jest, saintpav? This is dedicated to all the RTB fanboys. "In the realms of legendary tales and beyond, there exists a fable about our great coach that shall dispel any doubts and fears. Picture this: in the days of yore, a fierce battle unfolded between two mighty armi...

You're right, Teflon.

We managed to keep Sicily down to 26 possessions and thus beat the Hawks who I noticed ended the season 16th on the ladder.

He didn't beat us, the second time around.

Anyway, I think our current coaches will do just fine ... we just need to get all the other areas right.

Sometimes it's just time... or past time.

Like now it's time to get on the RTB train.

I've always been on the RTB train ... Recruiting The Best!!

But can we call a game plan that concedes big numbers to opposition halfback lines great - on the premise that it hopefully compensates for this by running numbers back? Why wasn't RL highly valued at Freo - did they see enough at the end? That's 4 years of bad days. I think they made up their mind ...

? He also took them to their one and only gf appearance (and missed out by 15 points). Nobody is saying a great coach can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. You're an 'adulator' if you think it better to have a superior coach to an inferior one? Why do we have to choose between very good coach o...

It's also the coaches that had been given up on, and were a breath away from being shown the door, that ended up holding the silverware. So, if the coaches that survived by the skin of their teeth can do it, any coach can. RL will do ... we just need to keep nailing the recruiting (this is the non-n...
