The crowd and the players were waiting for Rats to come onto the ground to give him a send off. Rats decided to head to the rooms the back way which left the players and crowd what the flower was going on - actually, very much like his coaching career at Carlton.

How many games do we have to lose because we can't kick straight, FFS how long does this have to go for before somebody actually does anything. Flowering frustrating as hell.

In ascending order of interest, from least to most interesting:

We played, and lost.

Milne was a turd, as usual.

Our new coach hates Milne as much as we do.

Kernahan called Ken Wood a Nazi during the President's speech.

Apparently Ratten told Coutts to go and get #$@%ed... something the club should do as well.

The new boys who came in did some pretty good things, good to see them finally in the navy blue.

The season that went absolutely off the rails during the Port Adelaide debacle is finally over, and we need suffer 2012 no more.


What happened with Wood?
What happened with Coutts.. and the club according to Ratts?

Can't covert. Trade heavily for players who can. Stop blaming coaches or it will continue.

Just another uncontrolled game. What did you expect? It was a nothing game, nothing on the line and the players didn't want to get injured. They played well enough to win despite that, just kicked badly. St Kilda got the points but Watters will be livid his team beat 20 of us including 8 players with less than 20 games only by kicking straight.

We have no idea how to play. Could have won. We have no idea how to kick for goal more like it.

Thank !@#$%& Ratts is gone..... I disagree but at least every thread on TC won't be a sckk Ratts thread now. That has to be a plus. You can concentrate on spewing vitriol at something else. Like sakk the prez. And the board. Ho Hum.

But they both came from Freo... lets wait n see what Rogers does.....

He might go for a player who plays important positions on the ground or.. he might like the hbfer types.....

Let s just wait n see... im not holding my breath....

Hughes began his Carlton career with an early pick on a hbfer type.... Russell.. and fittingly ended it with an early choice in Bootsma.. how very fitting to old Freo ....

I hope Rogers has abit more of a brain that Hughes did....

Formula for a carlton loss:
1) Dominate possession but kick inaccurately for goal
2) Opposition kick for goal with uncanny accuracy
3) Injuries to key players
4) Umpires pay 50-50s against us all day
Repeat

Thank flower that flowering season from flowering hell is flowering over. Flower!

Made bad viewing worse by watching the game at the pub with the village of the damned. God there are some nuffies in this world.

Im consistent .. ill bring it home.....

Ratts cant coach..
There was a dead rubber.. but if the players cared about him it wouldnt be a dead rubber.

And yes ill have a go at anything pathetic..... !!!

If the team cant bring brng me enjoyment...... and they are half baked again.. its my duty to bring it to fore...

No use patting mediocrity on the back like u do.... unless youre a masochist???

Are you???

On the Ratts/Coutts chat after the match:

He was being briefed for his last presser - let's not get too carried away with theories...

Ratts was understandably over it.

Can't remember if this is when the drama queens around here pack up shop or become even more shrill. 2008 is a lifetime ago.

Richmond have to win first and they're not doing too well at the moment.

John is this like Eddie giving supporters the finger in a club photo?

I saw Ratten and Coutts having words as Ratten was doing the rounds. Just because he walked away from him doesn't mean he told him where to go.
