A 41 year old Brett Ratten, with 5 1/2 years senior AFL coaching experience, presented poorly for a job at Port, requiring him to withdraw from consideration to save his blushes.
A 35 year old Brett Ratten, with 1 year as assistant at Melbourne, and very little public speaking experience or skill, did so well presenting to Carlton that no further process was required.
I'm starting to think maybe Ratten wasn't the best man for the Carlton job.
What a difference a real field of candidates does?
IMHO Ratts would've taken the PA job in a heartbeat. I also think he jumped before being pushed.
If I were him, I'd be begging Clarko for a 2 year contract at Haw. Then another successful coach and then another. Also, go and do some mansgement studies and some research on other codes to find that 1% edge
At 47, he starts putting himself back on the market
BTW SEN going with Leon Cameron or Ken Hinkley for PA job. Ratts is not even in their league as far as a well rounded apprenticeshipWhen Cameron or Hinkley drag PA from the bottom to 3 finals series in 5 years then get stuck into Ratts for missing the gig.
