Once BB has a healthier list to choose from (about 2-4 weeks away), and they play a few games together I suspect we'll know more - particularly unfair to assess him at the moment considering how ruptured the playing list is... and Kreuz and Kennedy playing injured and Weitering in the doldrums. We've got about 4-5 blokes carrying the whole side at the present.
But to think that SOS/Judge/Mangler Mathieson haven't cast an eye over how Ratts is doing, is P Roos up for another stint and/or the availability of their mate R Lyon, would be naive.
You can add Andy Mac to that nest of vipers.
I've got the feeling over many years that Roos simply doesn't like Carlton, so I doubt he'd be keen. Plus I didn't really like his handling of being Melbourne coach - $1.5M per season with an "all care no responsibility" approach. That's probably not right, but that's the vibe I got. No thanks.
Lyon might be a fit, but if they're all mates, who takes the fall when the caca hits the fan ? Plus his record at Freo is blah, and seems destined to be a bridesmaid coach.
As for Ratts, I'd be insisting on a multi million dollar payout if things don't work out, with those blokes in charge. Plus I'm not sure he and SOS are all that friendly.
