Robert Harvey?

[Carlton Villa]

Could he be a viable option to Ratten? I think he would command the respect of the players that is sadly lacking at the moment.

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

Is Ratts "on notice"?

 

[thylacine60]

Ratts has the full support of the Board.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Can't see how Ratten would be on notice.

Hell, 4 of our wins have been against teams in the 8.

4 of those losses have been under 10 points,
and 2 of those we had shots to win the game inside the last minute.
So i can't see how he could have any more impact in those last 2.

The 3 other losses wern't too flash, so i reckon he is doing ok.

We are still in the 8 at the moment.

Is that good or bad?

Sorry. I just assumed that given everyone is "on notice" at Carlton, maybe Ratts is too.

Often a signal to start hanging onto any good sized cardboard boxes you come across.

 

[gbatman]

our players have a "mate", there is no coach at Carlton.

My boss is a "mate" but we are both professional enough to seperate our business and our personal life.

Here's hoping our guys can do the same thing, Ratts included!

 

[BlueYoss]

our players have a "mate", there is no coach at Carlton.

And yet Vossy has managed to turn that very weakness into a strength and is thus far achieving more with an inferior to equal list in his first half season of coaching.

 

[Silvagnis]

Get Sheedy.

Sheedy: I want to coach

 

[The Cranium]

Sheedy, did we put wheel chair ramps into the Visy Park Redevelopment.

 

[jj1978]

I'm still not "into" Harvey.

I just don't think he's embraced our club fully. I get the feeling he may even regret doing a role with us instead of the Saints and now finally it could look as though StKilda could win one and he wont be part of it.

Not exactly covering yourself in glory this week are you...

How do you know this?

 

[ESKIE]

Ratts has another year to go...let's see where we;re at by year end.

What about Camporeale?

Thoughts anyone

Don't reckon he'll be coming back to Carlton.

What about Camporeale?

Thoughts anyone

It's a definite no from me. His last season at the club, & subsequent walk out, demonstrated a selfishness that we do not need at the helm of our club. I couldn't imagine the players respecting someone as self interested as what Campo was.

Thoughts anyone

Oh come off the grass, he was part of the reason for the current culture we are in now....

If we changed coaches, we need a hard arse that is given full license to start belting some pride into the players that wear the navy blue jumper...

 

[thylacine60]

Remember when pulling the navy blue jumper on was enough?

I hear he's in a Carlton top in his car at the Princess Park car-park waiting for Ratts to get the arse.

 

[Silvagnis]

What about Camporeale?

Thoughts anyone

Recruiting Camporeale would improve our accountability, second efforts, backline and workrate.

More perceived jobs for the boys sounds like a good idea...

If Ratts were giving his marching orders(can't see it happening) the club should look at Leigh Mathews - old school hard nut as a player and a pretty good record as a coach

Another Denis Pagan import from another era would be good for Carlton?

He is no doubt a good coach but I sometimes wonder how much of a part of it Vossy may have been - from what I heard, Matthews had a reputation of not be a great communicator with his players. He obviously had trouble controlling Aka and remember the times he had Vossy do the talking for him. Can also remember BT saying that when he was coached by him at Collingwood LM never once spoke to him
