Ratts has Plan A. Which has now been worked out.
Never came up with Plan B.
Game day appears to be clueless.
Being the players best mate is ok. But doesn't bring them to account. Leadership an issue on and off the ground.

Re: McCartin and Hickey
Paddy was too fat at skilda. Never got fit. At least one thing is now proven. Sydney's medical and conditioning staff are better than stkildas ... hannebury.. Always liked Hickey.

Re: People Blame Lade for our woeful forward set up.
Forward line is dysfunctional.. at best ... that is a direct reflection of the coach. Players get in each others way They have no system of kicking at goal They are hap-hazard in approach Yes there issues in transition between mids and forwards. The forwards need to demand the ball how they want it....

surely when they interview a player ... any player ... they get an indication of where their head is at. Interstate players should be assessed for how they will cope.

Re: The Age says Clarko would like Ben Long at Norf
They took Guerra because he was a great kick.Clarkson also recruited Dew on the other HBF his theory was elite long kicks to beat the flood and get the forwards (buddy) in open space. Liehert used his thumping kick on many occasions to get over the press. Long does not only get a lot of possession'...

Re: Jack Newnes delisted by Blues...
Doubt he will get another gig.
Serviceable. But there is no more upside. Realistically becomes a list blocker.
Unless he can being a coaching role to the ground ... which he hasn't given any indication.
Did well.

Needs to have a good predestination nd will get back to his best.
Would be traded for 3 round at best at the moment.

Re: Ben Long Midfield
Enforcer. Good for pitch hitting in the centre.
Every good team has someone that causes the opposition to second think. That moment of hesitation.
Difficult role to play in today's game. Long does it well.

Re: Where to now for Billings?
Playing without confidence.
Has zero currency and is at the cross roads.
Has talent. Is there desire?
Could be used better. But needs belief in himself and a want to win.
At the moment is looking like a bust.

We have very little in the way of a backup with Ryder gone. The alternatives are just rucks and cant play anywhere else.

He drives me crazy.
Marks 50m in the clear.
Every single time he goes back and waits for a player to take the mark.
Rarely plays on. Never moves the ball quickly.

Brad is now 30 and the best is behind him.
There is no way we would get a 1st round pick.
More like mid second and have to pay half his salary.
Let's face it. He is 'over the Hill'. ... boom boom.
