Remember how Richmond used to have mediocre seasons, then make a late and belated charge for the finals when it's all too little too late? That's us this year, and if you take the season as a whole so far, it's nowhere near good enough. Not for me anyway.
But the team did very well today, no doubt. Well coached on the day, well played. Great stuff.
BUT, the job of the senior coach is much more than gameday. And Ratten's statement this morning shows just how out of his depth he is in some very important areas of the job. Unfortunately, it seems that perhaps the entire football department and club is just as clueless in several respects, so it's not just ratten's fault. But you look to your senior coach to lead the way.
Senior coach = most important football person in the club. Brett Ratten simply doesn't have the tools.
And anyone who thinks that one win = some kind of vindication of the guy's ability to coach this side to a flag is just as silly as anyone who thinks one loss or one bad game is enough to write a person off forever.
5 years. 100+ games. That's Ratten's story.
Ya see, this is where I get confused.
Ratt's say's that if it hadn't been for all our injuries, some of the guy's who have played recently may not have got a gig this year. Like it or not this is a statement of fact.
The side containing the said kids comes out and beats the shizen out of our bitter rivals.
So instead of seeing this as a positive, it is somehow turned on it's head, baked for 20 minutes, covered in turd icing and voila!!!! it's become further evidence of Ratt's (alleged) incompetence.
It's a a modern day miracle. Loaves and fishes is a snap compared to what you fellas can accomplish with the twisting of facts.
Well done Ratt's. Killed 'em today, 2 more to go and hopefully we make the finals.
