We were never a threat under Ratten no matter what his boosters say, and now we are paying the price for 15 years of abysmal recruiting.
Jock McHale, Ron Barassi and Leigh Matthews combined couldn't conjure wins out of the sorry group we send out on the weekend.
Sack the coach by all means, I'm past caring, but if you think things will turn around in a couple of years you're deluded.
Yes, we did get 6th...after finishing 9th. Then went totally downhill
Let me get this, Weren't a threat under Ratten but you seem "happy" enough to keep Mick when we're about to be on the bottom of the ladder going by current scores today in Brisbane. you know something. I'm much happier with not being a threat under Ratten coming 5th than Mick on the bottom.
We have Walker, Menzel, Murphy, Gibbs, Judd, Simpson, Kreuzer, Cripps, Yarran, Docherty, Rowe, Henderson, Bell, Graham, Everitt, Thomas, Jamison, Casboult, Touhy, Carazzo. Decent enough. About 7, 8 or 9 places short of where that type of list should be. Of course someone half decent would conjure plenty of wins out of that. So, despite abysmal recruiting, getting 5th then would be a pretty fair achievement.
Plus he had Betts, Waite and Garlett and he let them go.
Some struggle to admit they are wrong even when it hits them like a wet fish in the face.
