Yet Thursday's game plan was far far closer to Ratten's own plan than the last few years of Malthouse!
But you are seriously deranged if you think Ratten and Carlton supporters assessment of Ratten is in anyway comparable to Hird and EFC supporters blind faith in Hird! You should apologise to all Carlton supporters for that one! :o

B4L wanted Ratten gone for a long time and was a big advocate for Mick, no wonder he's playing the 'all Rattens fault' card.

It was closer when we were going forward... maybe, but this time we had a defence plan.
And a coach who didn't munch out on snakes all game.

I remember Dermott Brereton talking about his playing days with Lethal. DB was concerned about one particular upcoming opponent, and their ability to score heavily (I don't remember whether it was because Hawthorn's defense was undermanned, or because this was a high scoring team). At any rate, when DB broached the topic, Lethal just said, "don't worry, however much they score, we'll just score more."
Voila, Ratt's game plan.
I like snakes.

I said many, not all, Carlton supporters, but delusion among supporters isn't exclusive to Essendon by any means.
General rule of thumb, don't employ a club champion as your senior coach, when you inevitably need to sack him it's like shooting Bambi.

Every supporter, irrespective of which coach/team/player they back, thinks of themselves as realists and clear thinkers.
