Couldn't see this elsewhere, apologies if it is.

Little snippet in Hutchies column today about the third year of Ratten's contract (2011) having a get-out clause for Carlton, but confirming that the Board voted during the week not to take advantage of it and confirmed his third year.


Damn

Apart from a host of knockers on this site. There has been little discussion else where that Ratten has failed.

Year 1 - 0 Wins- Hey we didn't want to win
Year 2 - 10 Wins
Year 3 - 13 Wins
Year 4 - 8 and 6, every chance to get to 13-14 wins

Our team is not ready to win a flag, so why not continue with a coach that the board and players like.

We still need to recruit at least 2 key position players, only Henderson and Bower will ever have the required quality to win us a flag.

13 to 14 wins...???? We have a tough run home we may go backwards
as far as wins are concerned....

But going by the first half of the season, we seem to win the tough games more than the easier ones.

You never know,,,,,,13-14 wins might not be out of the question !!!!

The only thing positive about 'Juddy&theKruezers' might be blood type. Even his spelling of the Kreuzer surname is a negative.

It will be near on impossible to reach 13 or 14 wins considering we were 1 and 8 after the first 9 weeks :donk:

Not many people had us in their top 8 at the start of the year, so if we make the finals (which we should do from the position we're in), we would ve done better then what most 'experts' would have expected and predicted...

You know what is frustrating is we have had more higher draft picks than any other team in recent years...we have the best player (debatable) in the league...yet we continue to stagnant and IMO will slide as the year rolls on....waiting until 2012 to decide on Ratts's ability to coach would be far too long IMO...looking at our upcoming games at worst we will be 1 and 8 by round nine and at best maybe 3 and 6....in either case we would still need to win between 10 and 12 games to make the eight from there out of 13 games remaining....it would seem unlikely to me...some very important weeks coming up for both coaching staff and club...


3 and 6 :roll:

1 and 8 :oops: :oops: :oops:

Seriously, do you think you have any credibility when predicting win/loss records after that?

Oh, and will you shut up if we win more than 12 games and make the finals?
