Ratten On 927

[HBF]

HBF - Hopefully some supporters like me are just waiting till mid Jan 08 when our bank accounts recover from the festive season.

BTW - Does anyone know when the Membership Meter will be re-introduced on the CFC website.

Thanks

Hopefully mate. I try and get in before the Christmas rush, which I have again been able to do for the 2008 season. Would love to see Carlton get 40,000 members in 2008.

Lookin fwd to seein Kruz in the Nab cup!

Flights booked, Accommodation booked, just waiting for tickets to go sale for NAB Cup.

Cant friggin wait!

(also flying to Tassie to watch the Hawks and Swans go at it on the Sunday)

A little disappointing that we've only got 15,000 members signed up at this stage. I'm hoping that there have been a few sign in late December/ early January, and that these haven't been processed yet.

Everything else though is very positive. Cloke could play CHF, but I would have my doubts as to whether his body could stand up in that position. His shoulder problems would be a concern.

I can tell you that figure is incorrect.The membership dept has been flat out. Last i heard we were passing 19,000 BUT not all were processed yet.

Oops...is that too much info?

 

[one eyed bluey]

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Thank **** we have Ratts - he just bleeds blue and that is what we need. Bring the passion back Ratts! Love the guy.


Thanks for sharing that General

That's a number that I am much happier in hearing. Thanks for the update.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Oh good Lord. I'm just listening to Part two of the chat with Ratts....


RUCK: ACKLAND and CLoke and even Hampson showed signs that he could do it.

CHB: Waite.

FB: Setanta, Jamison.

CHF: Cloke and one of the kids as a back up ruckman.

 

[HBF]

Ackland would be on his last chance this year I reckon, although I thought he did lift his performance when Ratts took over for the final 6 games in 2007.

 

[Blue Dawn]

Hopefully mate. I try and get in before the Christmas rush, which I have again been able to do for the 2008 season. Would love to see Carlton get 40,000 members in 2008.

We'll get 40K - don't worry about that.

ps. Good work General, and Gilly - you're a hard man.

 

[disconorman]

Ratten also said

*Hartlett, Cloke or maybe Edwards CHF
*Jamo's put on about 5kg and could play FB along with O'hAlipin and Thorton.
*Murph to play some new roles

From memory, his game against Freo at Subi wasn't too bad. Busted a few packs and took some good marks. Worth a shot me thinks - if his body holds up!

 

[Silvagnis]

But he's 0 and 6 in the wins column.

He didn't put a foot wrong in that interview and will be our next premiership coach.

I only wish I had read more of his Inside Football articles and they had them online.

To the library!

"He's (Gibbs) 12 months older than Selwood......................and still is".


Classic!

PS: Who was the 927 clown who asked about T-Bird going forward as an option?

 

[marcmurphy3]

Very happy to hear that Jamison is up to 95kg.

 

[iRemember87]

The key point i took from that interview were;

Hadley - Big bodied midfielder, who wins the footy, who has good hands

They aren't rushing injured players

Hadley & Judd being premiership players bring and show the behaviors that is required to win premierships

Kruezer - capabilities to run all day

They won't throw kids into the deep end, 1st round picks are a big investment and it would be naive of Carlton to think they are right and will get over it as it could hurt them long term

The focus is getting Carlton back to where they were before, and bring back the arrogance

Justin Cordy has been excellent, setting up the strength and condition programs, this allowing Ratts to concentrate on his job as coach.

Gibbs will be playing around the square

Players that were top heavy, they have stripped down to be more even which will help them be better

Although we should kick some scores in 2008, focus is on reducing oppositions scores after 2007 when we were flogged

Ratts likes the combo of Ackland and Cloke, with Hampson

CHF is still up for grabs....

Stevens - His talk, voice and skills are outstanding, and that it was clear that we really missed that in 2007

Murphy - Fitness better than 2007, which will help him beat taggers in 08

- Great interview, except for the Essendon tosser who high jacked the interview to ask Ratts how Knights would go....at least Ratts didn’t say the truth!! Interesting to hear he is in contact with people like Campo and Hickmont
