Sticks knows it too... as dumb as Sticks is he does... but he needs to give Ratts every chance before he can tap him on the shoulder .. and say "Mate ... i tried talking to them... me n Adrian (Gleeson).. but they dont wanna listen maaaate... they asked me to tell you that you have to go..Im sorry mate!!.. worst thing ive ever done in my ife is this mate.....wanna seat on the board mate?"


You reckon...
More likely he'll say 'Mate, Adrian and I talked them around. We told them that injuries are to blame and not you. We ve fired that Cordy bloke, and Bradles is the new Fitness guy. He could run all day back when we played remember... By the way, here's a 2 year extension!'

Sticks is too close and doesn't have a business mentality.

Actually we spoke about todays game earlier this afternoon with the Princes Park Whistler and we knew Ratts would leave Duigan in the forward line.. and Hendo will play in the backline.....

The one trick and the reactive move.

Its just sums him up so well.

If we don't beat the Dogs then I'm sorry but If Ratts cares about the club he should walk immediately.

This is rubbish. Collingwood didn't go out and recruit Jolly or Ball, did they. Yep.
Hawthorn didn't go and get Dew or Gibson,or any of the other players they traded.
Geelong didn't go and get Ottens.
Sydney got Hall and more recently, Mumford.


All teams who think they are close will trade for specific players.

I'm not saying we shouldn't go to the draft but I am saying that we aren't the only ones and that the list of recent winner does have traded players.


The old 'other clubs do it' chestnut. :sly:

Dunno, I suppose we'll end up forcing him to walk at seasons end.

Ratts wont walk. He''s stubborn like Pagan was. Even if we lose every gme from here on in, it'll be hard to sack him s Sticks came out on several occasions and publically guaranteed Ratts to coach out until the end of the year. Anotehr masterstroke by him.

I just hate it when people respond to a post without actually reading it properly. All I was doing was pointing out that other clubs traded for top players when he/she said they won premierships by developing their lists. They all traded strategically.
In isolation, I couldn't give a stuff what other clubs do. We have tried trading and we have tried drafting. Our trades have been at best a mixed bag and at worst a disaster. Our draft picks have been a mixed bag and at worst not too flash.
But I can't see the point in letting people re-write history without a rebuttal.

Crossed paths with Simmo and Brad Fisher in the carpark at the 10 min mark of the last quarter.

Needless to say they fully endorsed our decision to leave early. Simmo was in reasonably good spirits considering the week he's had.

On to the game.....

Jeff Garlett........should be in the NB 2's. he absolutely shit himself numerous times tonight.

AJ cops a lot of criticism on this site, but no one can question his application, and desire to contest the footy.

Hendo looked good, but suffered due to the idiotic decision by the MC not to play T-Bird. Norf were always going tall,WTF were they thinking.
(Regardless of 1AW's injury)

Juddy = superstar

Robbo gives his all

All the rest need to harden the f*** up. :mad:

I saw Thornton before the Game near the Players race and he was having a big Argument with one of the Carlton Staff. He was very filthy at being left out again!!!


This Game was lost very early in the first Quarter, about the 14 min mark when Walker left the game and did not Return!!!


We kept playing Sideways and handballing...We refused to Kick it Long to the Forward line all Game...

The Reason is Clear... We had no Forward Line....No big bodies, no running, no one presenting , which forced us to go Wide all Game with no Result....


Very disappointed with Kane Lucas....He looked very ordinary and not an AFL player....This was his chance to prove his case but he failed :(


As funny as it may sound, I thought McLean was one of our best... he kept Running hard all Game and tried his Guts out.....
