This is British press-esque trash.

"It is believed"; "Sources point to"; "Sky Sports News believes".

Tabloid muckracking 101.

jimmae... the umours have been circling all day.

people at the media agencies knew.

its just before news time.. theyre in a hurry.... but i reeckon its done....

the only reason they havent come out with it is theyre waiting for officialdom to take hold..
A banned member of the board knew about it already... and the calls came in all morning...

I hear it was done last night....

This isn't the first Wednesday press conference, and this isn't the first time Ratten hasn't handled it.

Coutts made the mistake of not pointing that out in addition to informing the media he didn't think much of them (which is hilarious given that's supposedly why he has a job despite all sense of logic).

Guys can you seriously simmer down? You're all clutching at the same source, so you're not going to turn my head any quicker by all saying it's true.

To clarify? Idiots should have just released a statement repeating what they've already said, and finishing with a polite @#$%&! off.

We are emotionally incapable at every level of the organisation it seems. Perhaps Ratten is the only exception.

No, the white zone is for loading of passengers and there is no stopping in a RED zone.

The red zone has always been for loading and unloading of passengers. There's never stopping in a white zone.

Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for stopping!

Listen Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again.

There's just no stopping in a white zone.

Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

It's really the only sensible thing to do, if its done safely. Therapeutically there's no danger involved.


Brilliant! :lol:

It was never going to be easy to finesse this given the circumstances (particularly the fact that the die was only cast in the second last game of the season, as opposed to a season with 5 wins).

@SamLandsberger: In 111 years the Blues have had 30 coaches. Ratts' percentage of 50.8 places him 23rd on that list. Three below him coached less than 4 gms.

Wow, that's quite extraordinary actually, even surprises me. I don't think Ratten is the coach for us, but I wouldn't have thought a winning percentage of 51% would place him that low on the list.

We also hadn't won a spoon until 2002. Ratts took over a bottom of the ladder team, and football operated under a very different system until the last 15 years.

Sad day for Ratts. There had to be a sacrificial lamb and unfortunately Ratts was it. Hopefully the players will have a long hard look at themselves.

Agree completely ... Our club and a large number of supporters have a lot of growing up to do. The thought of Malthouse in charge of Carlton is revolting. Very poor form by the board and a short sighted decision (I think ultimately we can thank the Pokey King for this). The drovers dog could coach an injury free Carlton into the top 4 next year. Malthouse better win us a premiership within 2 years ... or its a FAIL.
