Re: Ratts needs to be replaced by Bucks!!!
I know that Hawthorn shut down Langdon but Ratten did not learn anything from that. He was left unchecked and tore us a new one. Pathetic coaching and no real feel for the tactical side of things.

Re: Ratts needs to be replaced by Bucks!!!
I've been begging the gods for this coaching scenario....
Alastair Clarkson - big kahuna
Choco Williams. - big kahuna if Clarko says I'm waiting for $$$$$ AFL
Either of these two could change our team forever

Re: Ratts needs to be replaced by Bucks!!!
The reason I have changed my thinking to Bucks instead of Clarko is that he will be at either the GCS or GWS next year. As a result we now turn our attention to Bucks. He has the tactical nous that is badly lacking down at Moorabbin.st.byron wrote: ↑Sun 08 May 2022 5:04pm Ernie WTF?
Okay Ratts is yet to convince many of us that he’s got what it takes, specifically that he lacks a hard edge, but last week you were advocating Clarke as a replacement. Now it’s big red letters and exclamation marks and Bucks.
It reads as random thoughts posted as they emerge.
And the exclamation marks……they add nothing of value to your posts.

Re: Ratts needs to be replaced by Bucks!!!
Not by me, it was far evident the man was cooked. He bluntly said he'd never return, and to be precise he said, " I can't".
Those silver tongues jackals talked him around and the truth is if he could've given us his heart he would have, but it was gone.
Choco and Alastair.... different story.
It's like Sheedy and Matthews (Leigh) they said there's nothing in the tank don't ever ask....and no one has seriously attempted...due to fear of a 60+ yr old knocking ye block off....
I think personally Choco is a true brainiac and his work at Tigers set them apart for history making. That's a fact.
He is soooo incredible with strategy and has an ability to match player skills with positions in such a way to extract greatness from good.

Did you consider we were outclassed by better more skillful players? Did you take into account the effect of playing at Cairns in a sauna mudheap? No you didn’t.

Re: Ratts needs to be replaced by Bucks!!!
Buckley told Treloar that most of his team-mates didn't want him at the club.
How can a coach destroy the loyalty of his team by making up a lie about them, throw them under the bus, to cover his club's mistakes (in contracts and list management).
A coach demands loyalty from players, but does that.
If that's in his character, I don't want him
