[quote="Effes"]Fair point from Phillip Coorey
Wasn't the whole point of a new coach to give them some spine? Now we just choke. Lot of money just to miss finals again
If you can't see improvement in game plan, structure and intensity which has led to 5 narrow losses you are blind. Just quietly the coach doesn't have a young Judd and fev at his disposal
They still can't stamp themselves on the competition
What do you mean improvement in game plan? You mean reverting to a Ratten game style?
Big $$$ were spent to get us results.
It's a defensive gameplan which is why we are conceding less per game. Ratten had no concept of defense
In 2011 when Ratten wasn't decimated by injuries the team on average conceded 79 points per game. Under Malthouse so far Carlton are conceding 85 points per game. Obviously a smaller sample and other factors at play, but it is garbage to suggest Ratten had no concept of defence.
I am no fan of Ratten but assess WHY the club spent all the money to get MM...it was to get results.
If the club needed a rebuild why would they spend mega bucks getting MM?
2011 was a lon time ago.
Judd was in the top 5 players in the league.
We we nt out and drafted traded for and lured a bunch of half back flankers...
Ratten knocked us back 3 years....... he had a huge lack of understanding .
We need a mini rebuild....!!!

I reckon 10 Synbad. Nine If Watson can show something before the year is out. Can't believe how disappointing Mitchell and Mcarthy have been.
