This analogy has nothing to do with Ratten and CFC but here is your answer.

Sometimes when I play golf I might takes 6 shots on a par 4 hole. Now that may be good for me as I'm an average golfer. On my score card I might be happy to write down 6 but the 6 shots probably included 1 duffed T - shot that went 30 metres , 1 shot that bounced off a tree and 1 shot that bounced of another guys golf cart and landed back on the green. The result of 6 was fine for me but the process sucked the big one.

This has also got nothing to do with Ratten but.....it involves a process.

A huge Dog Food Company spends gazillions on Market Research of Cat Food, and gazillions on Advertising and Label design for the cans etc etc and millions more on coming up with the "RIGHT" product name and on the Product launch.

Comes the first Corporate Sales Meeting and the Sales are ratshit.

The Chairman asks why?......and the answer?...."Cats don't like it".

This happens to me a lot, but I usually solve the problem by writing a 5.

I went to the Eagles v Essendon* game a couple of months ago (the game where Essendon* won by 1 point and all their supporters then thought they were a serious flag threat this year :lol:

). I ended up sitting in front of Ratts. He was there with Benjamin and JK, and the young guys were writing down notes, while Ratts was explaining different aspects of the game. It was good to see.

I think it shows that he is going to be great in teaching/developing our youngsters.

On the issue of review of the footy dept - wouldnt mind or be surprised if brittain was reintroduced into the club - seems to be highly rated by many people who have been involved with the club. Given the amount of credit that he is given for developing players like kouta, he could work wonders around the club given the number of athletic 'project' types that we have (waite, ohailpins, hampson, etc)

Yes, but if you then finish the hole and claim you hit it 350 metres down the middle and birdied the hole, I'd be entitled to suspicion.

:wink:

Between golf analogies, dogfood factories and Ratten talking of the 1500m freestyle (where he has just jumped in the pool)- it's all getting a bit Pagan.

Some more guff on Ratts, it's probably the blue-coloured glasses I wear and the need, rather than desire, for optimisim, but I have a good feeling about Ratten as a senior coach.

:-D

Most successful organisations have very good entrenched processes. If you're making all your judgements on "feel" you're bound to trip up on a semi-regular basis now matter how astute you might be. Good processes don't exclude the possibility that sometimes it makes sense to throw the manual out the window and go with your gut.

I hope this new administration puts great systems in place but I can cop it if there are times that they believe a little flair is necessary in the decision making process and they make the occasional "gut" choice based on 'x' factors.

I just wish Kernahan's gut wasn't one of those guts we're relying on.

That's all.
