The chances are nobody but a few tragic tragics here are actually even thinking about anything Ratten has said given it was brief, uncomplicated, benign and nothing out of the ordinary.

Malthouse was in Shepparton yesterday speaking at LaTrobe Uni. Even though there wouldn't have been anything about him coaching Carlton next year in his presentation it still would've been interesting to sit in on it, shame I was too busy to take an hour off and head down.

I want the club sterelised of mediocrity.

A laudable ambition too, and in many ways i am grateful for your passion and persistence given I don't have enough free time in my life for such a crusade, it sounds like a lifetimes work to me

Its actually not too hard... people watch Big Brother... or whatnot... i choose to spend that time giving it to people turning this club into a laughing stock....

Apparently Sticks has discovered this awesome new metric called "being seen to be".

He's been running around the club for the last few weeks telling everyone that Swanny reckons Sticks' BSTB metric has gone through the roof.

And Gleeson in Sticks' back pocket where his own BSTB metric is kept cosy and warm.

Am sick of all the negativity and post rarely so thought I would post this link sent to me via Twitter this afternoon. Was not a fan of Malthouse to Carlton but surely this bloke enthusiasm and expereince cannot be ignored.

Refreshing to read something a bit more intelligent and philosophcal by a Carlton coach

They could always give you a call to cover all the same points. Or easier still they could save the call and read it here over and over and over.

It was an internal review.
Internal, as in the Board looked deep within themselves and decided to sack Ratts.

You are joking aren't you? He didn't have a lot of luck?
Coached the side that he played for...for 5 years...with no runs behind him at all when he got the job.
Gets a 500000 golden handshake and will still command 200000 a year. Yeah my heart goes out to him on skid row.
Collects three number 1's + Judd + a flawed genius in Fev to over inflate his stats
One of the luckiest football people to score a senior gig in decades
