More pro-active rather than reactive!


I'm liking it. Well done to him. Hope he keeps it up! :thumbsup:



Could not agree more...it's what a lot of us doubters have been looking for....some signs of confidence (from the coach) in a playing group that IMO has the ability to go all the way...

Sorry Caz and Co but he is the better coach

He won't, so there's no worry about that. However if it does happen, he'd probably appreciate you getting his name right.

Fair call
However I see you did not argue the point of who is the better coach

at this stage, given Roos has a flag, and Ratten doesn't, it would be ridiculous to even try and argue it, especially given that's the yardstick coaches are measured by. I'd be interested to see that comparison in a few years though.

Creative post. In other words, your attacks on Ratten have been completely validated and you've also built in a justification to resume them at our next loss.
Nice try but the game style hasn't changed to any large extent. It's just the players are executing better and absorbing the opposition pressure with more composure.

I see the childishness of this debate has affected carltonfc.com

However it is the lack of credit and respect given to the Brett Ratten and the coaching panel that is amazing, but hardly surprising. After all senior coaches are an easy target.


There's been universal praise for Ratts and the MC the last fortnight. How old was the author of this article?

Fair dinkum it's like the childish political debates that go on on this site. Rediculous one-eyed agendas from either side. :roll:

GROW UP!

It's easy really. All Ratts has to do is find a way to win against those red and black %$&*@'s... :mad: and he'll have the gig for life.

Beating them twice a year (as we should given the current state of both team's development) would be very good for the soul. Mellow everyone out. We don't ask for much this year: win a final, and beat those red and black @#&$'s :mad:

That's it.

Brett Ratten needs to keep winning to retain his job as coach of the Blues
Greg Denham wrote:
Despite a popular belief within the game that Ratten has had his contract extended until the end of next season, it is believed his current contractual arrangements contain a trigger mechanism that needs to be activated at board level for him to continue into next year.

It is believed Ratten's position is not secure beyond this year, and to continue he must achieve certain criteria this season, which is not necessarily based on wins and losses. It is believed Ratten agreed to the contract terms last year, and well before the Blues became fed up with the off-field antics of Brendan Fevola and traded him to Brisbane last October.

Apparently talk back radio was rife with similar thoughts for a few weeks. Obviously got under their skin down at HQ. :lol:

The non appearance of the disclaimer usually seen for contributor articles suggests the article was indeed from 'the Inner' rather than 'the Outer'.

I agree with you Molsey that the site should be better than that.

Sorry but i have to disagree.

The game style has indeed changed. We go wide a lot less now and we choose to run and carry it out of the backline - the Gibbs move on the weekend was clear indication of this.

And i've never attacked Ratten.......... but i have questioned some of his tactics - and i think this is validated.
