Good result. I'm glad for North. They need some excitement, even if he doesn't get them to the top of the ladder.

The Hill situation will be interesting. I kinda want to keep him, but $900k could probably be used more wisely.

Add Ben Long to the list of positives. He was terrific last night.

Is he the f****** coach?

You for real?

Love this thread. So Ratten is to blame for King’s shoddy goal kicking. FMD.

Just a gulf between the sides Saints just don't look good enough. The effort is there but just not good enough Yep, we are playing a team that has played finals in the last 3 years and accept we are just not good enough. What I can't accept is the diatribe from so called Saints supporters on this f...

Great fighting spirit.

Bytel will possibly be at another club & NWM is homesick so the story goes,should we really play them if that is the case? Bytel should be playing. I know he's had his injuries, but there's no excuse for keeping him out of these last two games. If he ends up leaving, then so be it, but we shoul...

Their list is truckloads better than ours.

Consider their father/son players (Moore and Diacos x 2), the players they've brought in, their academy players, and their recruitment. Coaching is a small part of it, but not the reason why they're miles in front us.

Interesting from Jon Ralph on Fox Footy:

Surely you take one of those GWS mids if you can. Maybe even Haynes for a couple of years.

Kelly would be ideal but $1.2mil is quite the salary.

Harden TF up the bloody lot of you. Our undermanned midfield was eclipsed last night by a vastly superior lineup. They were missing some forwards, but that’s always less important than key midfielders, who they had in abundance. On top of that, we were missing a key defender, who I think most fans ...

When are you going to learn It’s the team - not the coach! Put Brett Ratten in charge of the Kangaroos they’d be 1 win Put him in charge for f Melbourne they’d be 13 wins Put him in charge of Stk 9 wins We are a middling list with an average coach I completely agree. Out list stinks. We have some o...

Jones is terrible. Billings is average. It’s no coincidence.

I think Zac Jones is just not very good…

Zac Jones is bloody awful. I don’t like potting players but he and 4-5 others should be playing in the VFL.

Most of which is the result of terrible drafting during Trout’s tenure.

Jesus this is bad

Absolutely laughable.

They got a bit of help.

Yep, still 2-4 years away.

We are still being haunted by the Trout era.

The CEO and Simon Lethlean have handed Ratts a bunch of moneyball imports. This is the hand he’s been dealt I agree with this but also add that I don't think Lethlean and his team had much of a choice. The problem with our list goes back to Trout and friends who ran it into the ground. We had to do...

When are we going to learn The coach ISNT the panacea to everything In fact, it’s well down the list We just want something or someone to blame And if he were Al Clarkson coached we’d be great I’ll give you the drum This list is 8-12th Get it in your heads!!! Regardless of who is fkn coach Yep. Too...

I’ve always liked Ratts but surely we’re not going to sign him up before the end of the season? This is absolute horse s*** He’s a nice guy Not a senior coach But we are a weak organisation who can’t make tough calls Won’t even entertain Clarkson …..cause he’s no good right ?? Won’t even talk to hi...

Rancid umpiring.

We’ve been terrible too though.

How are we only 16 points down.

Kolofukme sure tried to f*** over a couple of our players. The prick will keep.

Put his full weight onto Steele with a view to injure. Pretty gutless imo.

I only saw the second half but Billings had heaps of it. He was levels above. Jones was just okay. Got a bit of it but iffy disposal. God I like Mitch Owens. Super aggressive, nice build and a good athlete. He’ll be a beauty. I actually liked Heath. Still very raw but good build and does some nice t...

Pathetic

Hopeless.

Only ourselves to blame. King and Higgins With terrible early misses cost us.
