Love this part.....detractors take note

"In many ways he was leading us (the coaching staff) in forming of a game plan and I don't think any player I've ever coached was able to influence our thinking as often or accurately as 'Ratts' could."

and this is good to hear...

"If you're not strong and direct early in the piece as a coach you can't resurrect it two or three years later," he said. "You've got to make the tough choices early and he's been able to do that extremely well."
 
It's sad that a thread about a good article praiding Ratten barely clicks over 1 page, yet win lose or draw tonight (as per the last 3 weeks) the negative threads will run into several pages.:cool:

Agreed, we have become a fairly negative bunch, over the last few years, with people constantly fearing the worst.
I think The Ghost, who writes for the Carlton website pointed this out during this last week.
We have become so accustomed to failure over the past seven years or so, that we fear it and expect it. In my opinion a large part of the 'Ratts' bashing that goes on around here is derived from that fear and pessamism. As far as I can see there is no real evidence that 'Ratts' can't coach, but oour confidence in the Mighty navy blue has been so shaken, some have managed to convince themselves that he is incapable of the job...........

In some regards this is a good thing - it is due to the negative ones having the sense to stay out of it. Most of the time the negative threads are elongated by the debate between positive and negative posters :o
 
Due to years of below par performances, the natives are restless, but with a little patience, there is no need to baste the sacrificial lamb.

and the abuse being hurled between the positive posters who are supporting the club and the negative posters who think that the club is doing all the wrong things.

At the end of the day, we are a young inexperienced team with a coach on a learning curve. Improving the clubs ladder standing by 8 places over 2 years is good. Doing what Terry Wallet did to Bitchmond over 5 years is appalling. But thats what happened to Carlton under Pagan.
