That is Ratts biggest fault. Maybe not so much he isn't capable. It could be the players just dont have it in them to front up like that each week. Maybe it was the injuries and now we are coming back fresh.

Anyway i reckon we should all just get behind the team, coaches and staff for the rest of the season and see what we can achieve as one.
We know there will be a review at years end. After that game there wont be any change til seasons end so lets just get behind them.
It won't hurt.

Didnt NY win the NFL from about where we are now in similar circumstances.

I have been as narky to the club as the next guy. Mainly to the players but still narky. I will pull my head in until the seasons done and just watch what this team can do united as one.

what a @#$%&! win! best i have seen in 10+ years and i havent rated ratten for a while but i hope like hell i have to eat my words and shove my thoughts be seasons end.
this sort of win should change a season so lets see what happens. go blues!

ps i almost passed out with excitement when yarran kicked that goal in the 3rd.

Collingwood were off their game tonight and we were on. When we are and get space like that we can beat anyone, especially at the MCG.

The other bonus was that the injuries have helped us get kids like Watson, McInnes, Bootsma, Collins a run.

However, it doesnt explain our poor form for the last month.

As most people, including Doc. S have said there are issues and hopefully these will be reviewed and addressed at years end.

I hold grudges. You know there was more than that.

Three of the next four at Etihad. Turn it around boys!

My comments are based on his responses over a long period and in particular his timing and I stand by them. The evidence is there for all to see.

We won because as in round 3 Buckley believes his game plan is superior to ours.

He let his players play their game and let ours play how we wanted. Our game plan beats collingwood.

If they weren't so cocky they may in hindsight chosen to played a more congested clearance type gad, ala Essendon*

That being said our pressure was superb, Kreuzer and Yarran of their leashes was beautiful to behold. Yazz is finally able to run freely again.

Brock played well, wasn't there a player Carlton said was too slow to make it he went to Sydney and came to Carlton to win his second Brownlow? If he plays within his limitations he still has a role at the club.

How good is Carazzo? and Captain, my Captain?

Wellingham surely 4-6 weeks, what a coward.

Yes there are issues at this club

No they were not all resolved tonight

Yes, we'll be back sparring next week

Tonight, just enjoy beating the filth

Not rose coloured glasses after all.
That hunch...well that's football....more than that it's religion: Carlton v Collingwood.

We're real good when we're not hunted.

Really proud to see 4 quarters with Kreuzer the superior lone ruckman.
I tell you though, he's the best ruck rover in the AFL...after the bounce.
Looked like he got his bounce back, and gained a yard.
Good training usually translates to got footy.
Hammer showed the mindset for finals footy.

Team effort. Gobsmacked.

You should know by now that the acid pourers have more crediblity than the sugar coaters.

Ratts always had a Premiership to boast over with Bucks. Now he has two coaching wins as well

I think it works for both sides then.

Just watching the replay. Did Watson think he was going to kick a goal from 70 in the third!!

Believe so.

Yeah like a wet lettuce leaf.

You have spent a month dismantling the club brick by brick and you think I have come out swinging!!!!

Come on admit it. Deep down you are seething about the result. You wanted Ratts anguished face spread over the front and back page of every paper tomorrow. Ratts with the 'hangmans noose' Photoshopped in behind him would have made your day.

I guess you will just have to wait another week for the 'Last Post' to sound. And if you and your supporters get your way then or anytime thereafter, I will support whomever comes along just as I support Ratts now. The real point is that if Ratts was replaced as Coach, with each passing day that new Coach would be 1 day closer to you wanting them gone.

Tonight I am happy and smug and you and a few others will just have to suck it up just like I have had to suck it up for the past month.

Regards Cazzesman

Perhaps you need to get excerpts from the moderators cutting room floor because you seem a tad confused.

Remind Mr Cazz of that.

Just some people have a different perspective..

Were allowed right????

While we were effectively a player down for most of the match (Hammer), dare I say that that was equal to having Knockers out there?
