“Frankly atrocious” - GT’s 2 cents worth

[Sainternist]

I suppose it is comforting in a way to have a former player and coach show his concern for the club when the chips are down.

I completely agree with GT on both individuals. I pointed out that Howard was the new Goddard weeks ago. He has been in really poor form and when beaten which is often, he blames his team mates and starts pointing fingers. I hate seeing that particular from a guy who is meant to be a leader at the club. Its one thing challenging your team mates - it's another blaming them for won poor efforts.

King is only young and carrying huge expectation on his young shoulders, which reflects in his body language. But it is something he needs to look at and improve.

Typical Thomas to pot the club when things are going astray, however he is absolutely spot on in his assessment of King & Howard.

He's correct, how many times does Dougal look to blame someone.
Actually happens quite a lot in defence, everyone blaming someone else, been happening for a while :/

GT had concerns at the start of the year, and appears to have been proven correct. I watch us play with no structure or game plan. We barely managed to kick 4 goals lol. Membrey / King marking the ball on the wing makes 0 sense. I love watching players look up from the back flank and have no one to kick to, happens every single week, whilst there's an entire midfield and wings in the back 50. Great watching.

Quite a few have been saying this regarding Howard for a few weeks (or longer) now, too worried about pointing fingers than manning up.

The fact he got dragged off Buddy after 1 quarter last week and replaced by an undersized Wilkie says a lot.

He's always good value GT.

Just says it how it is

Just because you don’t want to hear something doesn’t mean it’s not true

We are a woeful organisation - it’s that simple

Are you taking to me?


Can never tell who you’re talking to. Perhaps you could consider using the quote function?

Does anyone seriously suggest the last two performances were not atrocious?

The form downturn makes lemmings off cliffs look better.

Why? OK blame the coach and players but that's not it, is it.

Suddenly over the bye someone turned a switch and a pretty competent outfit goes all Colonel Custer?

WTF? It's not Max and Dougal's body language is it, seriously. Its churlish unbecoming behaviour but at the same time neither seem to be able to mark, kick straight or tackle which seems a little more relevant.

No point in worrying about a new coach until we know why there has been a Colombia bull ring type collapse. And no prospective coach would be interested until they know as well.

If Ratten's got the gig then talk of a new coach is a mute point.

Surely Ratten didn't take the squad to the movies over the bye? Given past history surely that would be negligent and a sackable offence!
