The Ratten/Judd years will forever be known as our 'Lost Years'
You have to be kidding.
You can argue Ratten had taken the list as far as he could and thats fair enough, but don't ignore the fact he took a team which had finished at or near bottom the 3 previous years to the finals 3 consecutive years and with a bit of luck could have progressed further.
Hardly Lost Years and its crap to claim they were.
Malthouse v Ratten arguments are pointless. They've coaches the team at different points, under different circumstance.
If you're going to judge one hard though, please judge the other the same way.
the team isnt going to stay at the bottom with so many number 1 picks early picks and early picks and after 5 years plus of him we didnt have a leader....
he failed to find leadership at the club after 120 games... Dont forget that!!!.... here no leadership..... no leadership here!!!
The guy was shocking!!!
Nobody could have done worse....
The guys who coached Melbourne , Essendon**, Richmond and Port who were down there collecting picks like us. Having a look at it those who chose to go the high pick route in the mid to late 2000's havent had much success. Bad pool of players or a flawed plan?
unpreceded amount of early picks.. never done before ....
this was the first time..
wanna count them???
This is what Ratts did... and we have to rebuild..
plus no leadership developed...
what do u expect?... the game plan was kick it to the champ....
no wonder most of the players were happy to see the back of him...
and thats players who mostly knew noone else but ratts.
120 games of nothingness....
u nless people get a woody with an eliminational finals win....with all that at his disposal.
but then he did tell me bower and russell were both going to be "All Australians" once...
and then proceeded to go out and find another 10 hbfers...
The guy just want a thinker...
yes!!! yes!!! mm's record pales into insignificance....
