but in 5 years we won one elimi ational final... and could hardly string 4 wins in a row together

we just lost to gold coast and they had more outs then us.

of course hes better than ratts... problem is ratts was never a head coach...lets see if anyone picks him up.... port???...

If i'm Malthouse, l'm asking for 2million a season now. Can ask for what ever he wants now.

He has the club by the balls over this early decision

yeah its only 550k, Plus the extra 450k per year for MM's salary. So come October, we will be 1mil extra in debt. But thats nothing for the club well in surplus. Just hard earned Members dollars going out the door for nothing. I don't know about you, but i'm sick of getting those calls to go in a raffle and clear a debt. You fork out money then they just piss it down the drain.

Is Malthouse 450-500 k better than Ratten? I don't think so. We missed out on a prelim by 3points last year with injuries to key players. But, seeing Malthouse is a 450k better coach then Ratten, I expect a premiership next year or the year after or he can flower off.[/quote]

Goltz,

Obviously you are very supportive of Ratts which is admirable, but surely you aren't happy with this year? There's always going to be injuries and other mishaps but we looked very ordinary in too many games this year.

Debt is ok so long as it is managed. How much debt is the right amount?

If the club can afford an additional $1M PA (inc assistants) and it delivers us a new level of professionalism with a real prospect of a flag then I'm all for it.

OR

The club grabbed itself by the balls.
They never went through a process.. and extended Rattens contract three times.

all this on the back of no apprentiship... or limited anyway... and as Ross described it "baby steps"

They dont have to get MM... they can go through a process for next coach...will cost them less...

Maybe the deal was already done?

The signing of MM wil easily bring in that much in extra sponsorship, members, gate revenue etc. plus other people will pay out Ratts.

Money will not be a problem.

So Ratts is gone and Mick is in.

sorry mate.. having a go at me.. cos the club is messed up is very pathetic from your end...

everything i have been saying has just been exposed.. and youre having a dig???

why?????

shooting the messenger makes u feel good????

there is nothing more insipid than someone taking a potshot at someone else cos you were wrong... and u hate facing it.

for me.. i have been closer to the club and gone out of my way to talk to more people involved in the club...and seeing them close hand.. its scared the beejezus out of me..

.... and youre only getting s mall taste of it now...

first with the way the season fell apart.. and then the way we handle even simple tasks...

i used to think the clubs shit doesnt stink....

my very early posts about the club on these boards were generally positive.

but when u get too close to something and see it close up.. and see warts and all.. and youre no longer looking at it through the eye of a child...its all different.

you cant blame me for where the club is at .. and where it finds itself at....

at some point you too must take ownership of the club and look at it with a critical eye... instead of taking pot shots at me for predicting this..... even if i never thought it was as bad as it is...

i dont support individuals or personalities...they come and go.

i support the club...

i dont give a @#$%&! if its ratten or malthouse.. as long as that person can do the job.


shit culture... ill call it for what it is...

and i dont give two bob what u think....!!!...


ill call u for what u r .... apathetic...!!!
