Good luck Brendan...

It will be interesting to see what the current administration will ALLOW HIM TO DO.

With his solid background at Box Hill, I hope he pushes for a stand alone reserves team. We need to be training the next level the same way the senior team will play, so replacements can step up seamlessly.

Player development needs to be a priority.

Resurrecting 2012 is possible - Don’t write it off despite it not being all that likely.

This is because a flag is won from a low spot in the eight during an even season where there is no clearly dominant side.

There is also no reason why the new young coach shouldn't come on to the scene for flag number 18 or 19... Not likely -but possible.

It is also possible that there could even be a short coaching appointment for someone like MM - a kind of interim coach after Ratten. Again - there are other more likely scenarios - but this could conceivably occur...

So at this point there are still many different branches to some widely variable worldlines any of which could occur.

The arrival of the new young coach (whenever it is) does not occur during a war - but the premiership that he wins for the club occurs during a war and in the middle of a severe economic depression..

The war at that time is an opening battle which precedes a later and much larger conflict - which we will eventually know as WW3,

The time has a feel about it which is similar to that of the middle of the 1930's

Far more people are using public transport than at present.

The appointment the New young coach is generally seen as an underwhelming choice by the football community.

A sacking of Ratten would be amidst circumstances that are beyond his control and the decision to pull the pin is not unanimous.

Those who argue for patience and more time are over ruled...

In some ways it is a rather brutal termination of services that harkens back to the more arrogant Carlton of the 1060's and 1970's..

But that's the nature of football...

Whenever it happens - I always saw this occurring after the end of the home and away season.


freaky

That's nothing. I predicted that we'd get a coach, there'd be a presser to announce it, and (this is the freaky bit) that he'd use the words "process", "relationship", and "environment" at least once in the presser.

If he does get the sack, How are we supposed to live without him?

Nothing on leadership density though. You're an amateur.

"depressed" is not a synonym of "Flower moron". You should stop using it as such.

Did we just hire the guy? or fire him?

Is this a happy moment? or a sad one?

A positive? or a negative?
