If this is the standard we've achieved under Ratts I'm positive he's not going to get us a flag. There's no team first mentality, there's no plan, they don't learn from past mistakes and after half time there was no urgency or effort in the team which is suggesting they just want money and have no r...

Is Ratts story that "we went into our shell" a euphemism for "we don't care about the fans or the club, we've got our contracts so why spend money on deodorant when we don't have to raise a sweat"? Seriously, Ratts has run out of excuses and to say that we lost when Seb wasn't av...

Most of the players went on to the paddock complacent in the knowledge that they would win because it was Spuds game. I just hope Jack Steele puts a rocket up them for going out there with a smug attitude. Ratts doesn't know how to obviously. It really was pathetic, perhaps they should listen to Ess...

In the meantime Steele leaves the field bleeding profusely from a hit to the head, but no-one saw anything.

After a game like that we should stop dreaming about a flag and just go for it. Next season, just like tomorrow, never comes. So why wait?????

It really doesn't matter who comes in as long as effort isn't sitting on the bench. I think most of the players are starting to realise that if they put the effort in the rewards follow.

Bring the same effort as last week and bank the four points

Big improvement in effort today but I still think Ratts has told the group we're not ready to compete for a flag as too many seem to be going through the motions. We have six players streaming forward into an open paddock and because someone isn't confident they hold the game up by walking back to t...

Ratts was disappointed - now that's a surprise. A lot of Saints fans have been disappointed for far more years than most of our players have been on this earth. We need a coach who will talk to the players as though they are men earning a lot of money for their work, not a bunch of kids who can come...

No progress whatsoever, a team of individuals, Hills turnovers won't be on his highlight reel, even Max kicking for goal needs to be addressed, find somebody closer if you're on your limit. Too many trying to look good on camera. Another Looooong season

Supposed to be on Foxtel but not so I'll be ringing the turkeys tomorrow when I've calmed down.

Ace ,
Mr McGowan said he was joining the rest of Australia on Feb 5 so it shouldn't be a problem. We should be able to go in with no quarantine if everybody is vaccinated

What is he driveling about "finding purpose" . The SOLE purpose of a football club is to win the flag for its fans. Everything else is platitudes and decoration. Ratts should motivate the players every week to turn up and work for two hours a week FOR THE FANS. We've seen them play footbal...

Clarko to the Pies, bring Banger home. He knows how to feel for the Saints. Ratts might be a nice bloke but the players aren't listening to him. I just hope they are embarrassed by this performance but they probably aren't as they've put in too many similar shows. NOTHING has changed from their prev...

When 22 men turn up for work knowing what's required and, working as a team, apply themselves for the entire duration its amazing what can be achieved. The only difference between a good team and a so-so team is that the good team applies themselves every time the job needs to get done. Well Done Sa...

Richmond ran onto the oval with the four points in the bank, but forgot to tell the Saints. Their arrogance bought them undone. Well Done boys, I just wish that sort of effort had been there in a few other games and I could book my ticket to the finals

If your feet are off the ground and the body is moving sideways how is that not a bump? Deliberate attack on the player, should be off for as long as Clark is.

If its deemed intentional he should be off for at least as long as Hunter is off, If not intentional 3 weeks. Look after the head.

Sadly, everything that needs to be fixed is in the coaches hands. Match fitness, team discipline, Plan A and Plan B, team first mentality. Last night the Head coach was busily looking at a computer screen while the disaster was unfolding on the paddock. He needs to be accountable, not look for excus...

It's been a long time coming and I hope he lives up to the expectations, my concern is the selection process in that video clip. One player picks another player and without explaining his reasoning why he picked him he's in the team. This could explain a lot of our current woes. I just hope he has a...

Send Ratts on leave and let an assistant take charge for the rest of the season. We have seen the players play better than that crap which was served up tonight and the coach is not holding anybody to account. No Plan B to kick in just run around and pretend your trying is NOT acceptable and if Ratt...

So now we have a coach who doesn't coach but gives everybody the "freedom" to do their own thing. How ridiculous. Earn your money Ratts, get out there and give them a plan and structure otherwise we will be the rabble we look like for the rest of the season. Surprise, surprise it might jus...

Bring back Banger. A lot of people thinks he doesn't have the media skills for the job. The job is getting the best out of the players not smiling into cameras. His commitment to the Saints is more than money can buy and an assistant could do all the media work if needed.

Ratts wants the players to be accountable, I saw a lot more effort tonight but no plan, no semblance of system whatsoever. I want Ratts to be accountable and explain to the fans why we have lots of footballers (professionals who presumably know how to play) but no team.

Ryder was allowed time off to get himself better, we all understand that. It's been reported that while he was away he kept himself fit by running 12km a day which we all appreciate. Next Ratts is telling us that he's back in Melbourne with a smile on his face - does this indicate that his time off ...
