what does that make brett ratten ? DUMBER AND DUMBER !!!!!!!!!!!!
he has now coached against Essendon* 5 times and lost the same way every time....we huff and puff along the boundary, kicking to one on one contests in row 8...while we leave the corrdior open for them to attack the heart of our defence !
Let me pose a few questions:
1. why do we refuse to use the corridor at all costs ?
2. why do we constantly take the longest route forward hugging the boundary line and hence limiting the direction of our attacking thrust?
3. why do we still have no kick out strategy ?
4. why do we not flood back and fill out space in our defensive 50's like other teams do to us ? (In the first half both monfries and lucas found space despite us having 15 players back - unacceptable !)
5. why do we always end up having set shots for goal from row 8 of the grandstand (houla, fev, judd, etc etc) ?
6. why did rats not make the statement that had to be made in the 3rd quarter by not dragging fev (and I am a fev fan and have somew sympathy from him ....but consistency in his efforts are required - his chase in the 1st or second on reimers was brilliant but cannot be a once off !) ???
7. Given our current list, are we fuliflling our potential ?
7. do you honestly think that brett ratten has what it takes to coach Carlton to a premiership ?
I just hope that the people who count at out club are trying to work out the answers to these questions....and when they do, are not afraid to act accordingly !
I'll ask again....if brett can't work out the answers himself, for the sake of the club rats undoubtedly loves, please fall on your own sword and allow this group to reach their potential ....whatever that is !
How do you spell p-e-r-s-p-e-c-t-i-v-e?
Wonder how much criticism Clarkson, Lyon and Thompson got in their first few years? I know how he wants us to play but we're still learning to do it for 100 min in game as well as game to game. Thing is we lock them down for a while as we should but don't have the consistency to do it for 100 minutes and in that time they tear us a new one.
Young sides take time. Young coaches are the people for modern footy but with inexperience you get mistakes too as they learn. We fight back in most games we're in trouble, even in defeat. Dropped the bundle tonight. I don't think we're doing too bad.
Now take a Bex and have a good lie down.
