As dome of us said… premature contract extension. We could go into free fall….
And repeat the Richo saga!
We haven't put 4 quarters together once this season and until we can do a reasonable number of games , I’m not yet convinced he is the man for the holy grail
Yep been saying it for a while
Doogooders disagree
It’s commercial stupidity to be signing him now
Embarrassing that the club win a few games off a quarter here and there and reach for extension
What’s wrong with waiting till near end of season then assessing???
Insane

Entirely predictable wasn’t it.

Embarrassing

Not the sacking, but the resigning when it didn’t need to be done!

WOW, look at the Righteous One. Let's throw that on the effigy of Ratten. Pretty ordinary post.

Why?

It’s a fair question

If he has a problem with the bottle, he shouldn’t coach an AFL club. That’s if?

Especially if it’s known to the players?

If he hasn’t then my source is full of it!

BTW
If I suffered that same thing as Ratten, I’d also have a dependency issue!!!

Amazing logic. You obviously have no issues with coke heads and meth heads. All known to the players & highly likely to have more influence on younger players.

I missed those shots from the coaches box where there was a shiraz instead of a gatorade on the window sill or a king brown instead of a water.

We all have dependencies B.M., I just found labelling someone who has just had his life flipped upside down "a raging Alco!" on top of that, a cheap, unnecessary comment.

Yep it is a cheap shot, naive.

Ratts has a case of rosacea that gives the rosy face. A lot of white guys get that and it gets worse. It can be triggered by many kinds of stuff. (Including alcohol, yes, but by no means an indication)

But at least we can acknowledge Teflon for calling out the premature re-signing at the time. Of course, none of us (I assume, based on the posters at least) seem to know the inside story, but we can acknowledge now that whatever ‘processes’ that allowed that resigning to happen, was really baseless and hollow.

As was pointed out, our first part to the season wasn’t brilliant but we had some sensational patches of games, particularly the Geelong game. One or two brilliant quarters that gave us all a desperately needed shot of adrenaline.


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Did you have a problem with Dual Best and Fairest Sam Fisher when he was at StK?

What do you reckon is easier

Playing AFL with an Alcohol problem
Or
Playing AFL with a recreational drug problem

BTW
If you think none of our current list uses recreational drugs, you’re the one who is naive!

I heard from a person from Hawthorn that Brett drinks (a lot)
They supported him through it, due to what had recently happened.
Drinking heavily impacts performance at work.

Doubt it’s the reason he was sacked, but a problem nonetheless

I wish Brett all the best, but I didn’t rate him at all. But you know my thoughts on coaches - massively overrated

Was Ratts record any worse than Longmuirs at Freo who arguably has a better list
