After Half Time

[95blues]

Does anybody wonder what Ratts had to say to the boys at the half time break?

I could not believe the change in our intensity in the second half. For the entire 1st half it seemed we were getting brushed off in tackles, standing outside packs waiting (as usual) and generally playing soft. When they came out after the long break we played harder and stronger than i have seen for a long time from a carlton team. If only we could bottle it, or at least sustain it from the opening bounce instead of playing catch up.

"At this rate, you soft-***** have 2 quarters of footy left for the year".

Probably right Thy, REcon Murphy and Bower might have copped it, soft as butter. It was really disgraceful to see us play that way in a final.

I dunno, but I wonder what was said to the umps at half time.

The second half was exactly how a final should be officiated.

Not sure, but there was another thread discussing how Ratts was 'adjusting himself'.

Maybe he made some analogy about not being soft-***** ??
