By your logic we're an absolute rabble because he isn't going a week early. Get a clue

You're not alone. I'm guessing the review is on in earnest now. Last night makes it hard to mask any problems we have. It might be the catalyst for necessary change, playing, coaching or administrative.
The template to follow is Geelong at the end of 2006. They didn't panic, took their time to identify what needed to be done and considered whether the incumbent coach was the right man for the job
I'm not going to comment on whether Ratten is the right person or not, but given port are the only other team looking for a new coach the decision on your head coach doesn't need to be rushed as I believe you would be looking at a quite different group of candidates should a review conclude to terminate Rattens contract
There is no doubt we have the raw ingredients for success, and when on, we play one of the most devastating game styles. It's just not coming together consistently. Not sure if we are lacking instinctive players or leadership. Judd was leading for much of the game but it wasn't inspiring others. Perplexing.
What a spin-out.
- The coach gets publicly cocky and starts talking about resting blokes for the finals (I noticeably cringe at this)
- Then, once more, the dopey coach opens his mouth with - How dangerous we're gonna' be if (read: when) we make the finals....(again, I cringe)
- Coach needs to shut-the-F'k-up.
Our boys love getting ahead of themselves, we still struggle to string three wins in a row without dropping a game to a side well below us on the ladder. (Bulldogs last year, Port and Suns now)You've shown this year that with somewhere close to your best 22 available your best football is as good as anyone's and any assessment of your season has to factor in injuries. The other question that should be asked is do the players get ahead of themselves or get a bit too comfortable after a few good games and their intensity drops off hence the inconsistency you mentioned
Ratten cost us the season by continually playing these muppets
Armfield
White
Joseph
Ellard
Curnow
Tuohy
Is this why a lot of carlton supporters appear to dislike him?
As an outsider this is what really ticks me off about him, he can appear so arrogant when he and his side haven't achieved anything of note. Of course this might just be because i despise carlton
Its like North Melbourne always talking themselves up when playing a top 4 side and getting thrashed. They played the pies a couple of weeks ago, said nothing and got over them.
Might just be me, but i like a bit of humility and letting actions do the talking
ODN... You have no idea how sorry I am that you had to sit through that.In fact, rather than pot Ratten, I'm going to say ... Brett mate, you're a top bloke, you give your all, but you have a new life with a new baby and you are not getting back what you put in. This team does not deserve you. If you are going to go out, go out by telling them where to go, not the other way around.
Gibbs is a soft, weak seagull. For the entire second half he was running around without an opponent and still couldn't get near it. Trade while he has currency.
Judd needs to hand the captaincy over to Murphy.
Yes, Zee, he was bad...but he didn't cost us the season! If we won by 10 goals, he prob wouldn't get a mention...Just quietly, that googley eyed umpired Pannell(?) is the worst in the league by a mile.
Doesn't make him a better umpire either.Yes, Zee, he was bad...but he didn't cost us the season! If we won by 10 goals, he prob wouldn't get a mention...
AgreedDoesn't make him a better umpire either.
Worst part about that discussion was Gibbs wanting to have the last word. Not much respect and not a good lookSide note, first time I've noticed Ratts give Gibbs a bake for his weak effort against Ablett in the back pocket that lead to Caddy's(?) goal. Terrible play.
