Strategy Brett Ratten returns to Hawthorn

[Beandip]

You'll never fully remove the brown and gold from someone who bled this much for the club...

 

[The Chad and I]

Roughy to be Hawks next list manager maybe?

I hope Sleepy Mark continues to lead our list management/recruitment for the next ten years.
He is exceptionally good at the role and has a rare eye for talent.

Always wondered who took this brilliantly timed photo of our champ!! That's Hodge in one still.

MasterSam…….are you a photographer ?

 

[Colloquy]

I have listened to a few of Roughy's interviews and podcasts and list management is his go in the future it seems.

Maybe we get him back to work with MM

 

[Colloquy]

Hodgey still very much bleeds Brown and Gold but still has one foot in Lions camps.

I still love in hope that this help us get Cooper in a few years over brisbane. As Luke will want him to play for Hawthorn.

Such a natural leader. In the Peter Crimmins biography, Ray Wilson tells an astounding story of leadership. Wilson was 21 and in his debut season for Hawthorn in 1966. Crimmins was 17, and it was also his debut season. Our main Rover Ian Law was injured, so Crimmins got a game in round 1, along with Wilson. 21 yo Wilson shirked a contest early in the first. After the ball had moved on, the 17 yo Crimmins was running past and said to him, "That won't happen again will it?" Wilson never forgot it. He went on to win our Best and Fairest award in his debut season.

Luke Hodge has this same intense leadership quality. He lifts those around him by stern exemplary attitude and action.

Leigh Matthews bled as much as anyone for Hawthorn. He said his favourite premiership is coaching Collingwood in 1990 and he gets all warm and fuzzy and really nervous watching Brisbane play now.

Hodge has a soft spot for Hawthorn but if he had to make a choice of who to support in a Hawthorn v Brisbane GF it’s Brisbane and his kids if good enough will play for Brisbane. Sad but true.

Leigh considers himself a hawthorn person. he has said as much multiple times on TV.

Hodge is a hawk too. he just lives in bris & has a bit to do with the club still.

Can you put up the episode as I do find it hard to believe and would like to hear it from him.

He was asked what was his most memorable GF of the 8 he won, 4 as a player and 4 as coach

He said his first as coach at Collingwood and gave his reasons

Like perrdan86 we are both asking Platten44 about the Hodge quote.

Ratts would rather come back to the Hawks under Sam than stay at Norf under Clarko.
Interesting that Ratts doesn’t have the same ill feelings as Clarko as he was there the whole time that these allegations happened!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Great chat with Ratts, talking about how impressed he is with the group.

Love having him back at the club.

The feeling is very much mutual.

He loves me too?

 

[The Chad and I]

Ratten always struck me as a great guy with a big heart.
Carlton broke his heart.
Saints screwed him over.
Hawthorn is his home.

I would say norf used him - yet Ratten left with his head held high.

Welcome back Brett
