So basically the point of this thread started off as positive, optimism, look on the bright side, get on with it
But now it has degenerated to :
Mick is no good
We hate mick
He is too expensive
Ratts was probably better
Now we are stuck with mick
We are doomed again
Told you so
But we aren't saying we want Ratts back
Just that we don't want whatever it is that we have
Maybe somebody should start a thread full of only constructive suggestions and ideas that might contribute to carlton reaching a premiership ??
Or is that crazy?
that's a great idea, but theres no denying that Ratts was a shit coach
I have never suggested Mick was shit, ever.
My point if most people seem to be ignoring is that under Ratten we played finals 3 out of his 5 years with him at the helm. He was criticized repeatedly when he was seemed to have lost his way (and rightly so) last year, but again with an injury ravaged list.
Mick has made the same stupid decisions with a healthy list and has lost to the lesser teams and again hasn’t made any in roads to any of our much publicized deficiencies.
I don’t believe we should excuse one coach and not another especially when one has been brought in at great expense with the belief of raising standards and so far has failed to do so.
If Ratten is a shit coach then Malthouse can prove that theory of yours by using some of his experience and knowledge with the same list Ratten had and take us one step further and he can have an advantage by coaching a reasonably healthier one.
Yes
true RB but i think your discussing tension relieving momentary success as opposed to long term goal achieving
