What's interesting about that is Rath is a Biomechanist and was meant to be responsible for Hawthorns kicking prowess in the successful Clarkson years.
Spot on Mart
That's interesting Yorkeys - tell me where I went wrong because when I tried to join the dots I couldn't find anywhere near enough St Kilda players on the current list you believe are capable of St Kilda playing finals, just one All Australian (dual) and perhaps another 2 in contention this year.Yorkeys wrote: ↑Sat 13 Aug 2022 1:39am The good news just keeps coming.
The anchor remains in place and tide is still coming in.
How bad does it have to get before this man is called out.
We just keep the self inflicteds coming.
If we didn't have tactical fools on staff we could have romped in the 8.
Are all of the Board completely hopeless.
My starting point is yes, obviously.
Mercy. Come on someone with influence, challenge the cosy sheltered workshop that is out footy intellegencia. We have the players to make finals, join the dots.
Disastrous news.
Who is guessing.

Just listen to what Rath says, and what he has written.
St Kilda's Head of Football Program David Rath has given insight into St Kilda's rejigged gameplan.
Rath and Brett Ratten, along with the Saints' coaching staff, have been developing a game-style that plays to players' strengths.
ie This pearler
"
And if we’re talking about playing, then there’s a sense of creativity and a sense of probing the opposition to see what they give you and then responding to that rather than having a set plan.
- David Rath"
And people wonder why our players currently look like headless chooks much of the time gameplan wise.
Rath is the architect of our current gameplan.
Bang on this is my take
Come off it Teflon, do you really expect the club to be anything other than positive when it talks about the team's potential, do you really take what they tell supporters and the media as gospel??Teflon wrote: ↑Sat 13 Aug 2022 1:49pm
That’s fascinating Sanct
Cause the club have cone out and announced our window is open
We’ve recruited top up players last few drafts from other clubs to play finals
But you keep telling us the list is no good??
Maybe you should give Brett a call cause clearly there is a disconnect between what you see vs the club
I’ll just direct you to Joey Montagna analysis of what Saints have done list wise re top ups ….but you’d know way more than him!!Sanctorum wrote: ↑Sat 13 Aug 2022 6:46pmCome off it Teflon, do you really expect the club to be anything other than positive when it talks about the team's potential, do you really take what they tell supporters and the media as gospel??Teflon wrote: ↑Sat 13 Aug 2022 1:49pm

They're hardly going to come out and say "we're still a few years away from playing finals".
As for top players recruited from other clubs in last few drafts, who exactly are you talking about apart from Brad Hill because I certainly can't think of any, Paddy Ryder was far from a top player when he came across from Port, and Howard, Jones or Crouch were all around "average".
Interesting isn't it that all 3 last mentioned were rated better than the club had at the time, says it all!
So isn't it patently obvious that the list is not good and far from capable of playing finals??
That’s not true
