why bother?
ratten took us backwards from consistent spoons to consistent finalists
I hope micky takes us backwards also :lol:
Well maybe next year if the planets align or he can hustle a couple more years at the helm.
he will allegedly change his embarrassing demeanour during press conferences to appease the boss (great attitude adjustment at the right time), maybe he can change his dated game plan to win a extension (anything is possible)
with our easier draw at the right time everything seems to be stacked in mickys favour (is there anyone else to blame, stay tuned more after the break) :sly:

Mick still has 3 (and a half) seasons to eke out one more finals win to equal Ratten's achievement of 2 wins in 5 and a half seasons.

Par for Mick: One more finals win, with 3 seasons to achieve it.


Factor in a bit of consideration for the fact that we were on the bottom of the ladder when Ratts took over,
but still,
I don't think Mick is quaking in his boots about the lofty standards his predecessor set.

Finals Losses are irrelevant.
I don't give a stuff about choking against the Swans and Lions in the first round - may as well not be there at all.

So if you think Mick is a mediocre overrated overpaid hack,
what does that make Ratten???

A 'value for money' Corolla that can't drive more than 50kms without needing RACV?

what, micky the great experienced cunning fox who gets 1 mill a year can't coach the list his predecessor took to 3 finals appearances from dead last
he needs more than three years to achieve the same heights that his novice lolly munching list destroyer had
mick should demand an extension ,more money, less scrutiny, lowered expectations and more people to blame
quick before someone else poaches him
shit with 9 wins last year someone is bound to come calling :lol:

7 wins and a draw is a huge step forward. We have improved dramatically ... give Madhouse another 10 years please ... He deserves it.

So we paid a coach a mill per year, paid out the existing coaching panel at significant cost and your expectation is to match the achievements of the previous rookie coach?

Is that the rational and level headed view?

The pro Madhouse group just can't give a good answer ... clutching at the anti Ratten sentiments even though Ratten's team performed much better with less talent. The whole argument is so funny.

So disappointing that we now have to put up with such a dumb appointment ... but we live in hope ... maybe the Super Duper coach can have 1 good year. Lets hope so.

Go Blues.

"The pro Madhouse group just can't give a good answer ... clutching at the anti Ratten sentiments even though Ratten's team performed much better with less talent."

This statement categorises both sides.
Finals wins v Finals appearances
Starting low v Waning
Ratt's Picks v Mick's Picks
Ratt's cost v Mick's cost

Two sides of a fence. When we win a flag I vote that coach, whoever she/he is or isn't, is better than those who didn't win a flag regardless of the fences people want to stand behind to watch their successes or failures or vice-versa.
