Our board at the time was but not Ratts.
I'm not surprised that many Carlton supporters still believe that Ratten was a good appointment, just as many Essendon supporters still believe in Hird and the great majority of Collingwood supporters are behind Buckley.
Meanwhile clubs like Hawthorn and Geelong who adopt a pragmatic and rational approach will continue to succeed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you one of those who was quite happy to get Malthouse ?

Darren got us back on our feet after Pagan, can't bag him for that. Would have made a prelim but for bodgy officiating.

Either your spell checker is having a giggle at your expense, or you know something about our coaching history that we don't.

Spell checker? Random word substituter more like it.

And from there, with a fit Gibbs, Kreuzer and Waite coming in for the prelim, who knows?

I was happy to see the back of Ratten and thought that virtually anyone would be step forward.
In hindsight I don't think Malthouse was ever 100% committed to the CFC, I think he took the job to satisfy his ego and to prove others wrong.
Between the two of them we blew 8 years which we'll never get back.
