I will try to tell you
I have been a secondary teacher in a low socio economic area for 20 years. I have no aspirations to go any further because as Harry Callahan said in Magnum Force a man has to know his limitations. Yet so many people I work with either past and present in positions of power havent got a clue. They are fighting out of their weight division.

Why is this. Many reasons I suppose.

Thing is as I have got old it shits me more. They reckon you become more like your parents as you get older and there is nothing you can do about it.

So when I see a coach with one game plan in the most important game of the season when he has had 3 years to come up with more than one it shits me.

I just reckon things wont improve. Yeah we will win a few along the way but overall we wont get there unless we change our personel.

Thing is you cant win a flag unless you have the right people in the right positions.

Not in TODAYS AFL environment
Not like 1995

And you reckon the players are soft.

Regards Cazzesman

lucky ratts have knights to take the press away from him

keogh has exhausted his rant quota for the week.

Come back this time next week for more fun and frivolity on Talking Carlton.

This is a quote from Mathew Lloyd's article on Hardwick in the Sunday Age:

Should be the mantra of the coaching staff because in too many games, stats, process, set ups are the mantra, when the first thing we need to get right is matching or exceeding our opponents intensity.

I don't think there is a pass mark for Ratts.
I think he has already failed as a teacher from what I have seen so far this year.

I am not so concerned about people whinging that we are soft... knowing what an AFL player puts in just to stay on a list I would never consider them 'soft'.

But we need a great teacher, we need footy smarts, we need ruthless execution.
We need to be talked about as a clever, competitive team that can become the best.

I don't think Ratts is that person.

Yes the list still needs work, yes the players need to take responsibility and get a big wakeup call,
But I dont feel that Ratts is our next premiership coach.

How long we wait to make a change is anyone's guess.
Given Kernahan's track record I assume it will be a long time.

Embarrassing again today.

A pass mark for this year would be an improvement on last season. So that means we play finals and win at least one final. Anything less than that and it is a failure.

And Ratts and other players have stated that is the aim.

It's looking very unlikely to happen - therefore action should be taken.

Bring on the Red Head!

Ill give him a pass mark if he resigns !

That won't bring back Fevola.

Jimmy Plunkett for coach!!!
