Because of our very own collection of "goons in sector 7g", we'll never know what would've happened in 2013, had Ratts stayed.
Ratts made us competitive, pure and simple. Each one of our losing finals was played interstate. Losing margins, 5 points, 7 points, 3 points. You are aware that before he got there, we finished 16th, 16th and 15th ?
The same people who believed he couldn't keep us improving are the ones who thought Mick could. I'll leave it at that.
2011 SF - In a game without Gibbs and Krooz, and a forward line with Setana and Thornton, against a full strength ? WCE team. Dodgy umpiring.
Final quarter - Judd kicks out of D50, straight to a WC player - handball to Hurn - goal. Game over, Gulshan Grover. Every moment in an AFL game contributes to the final result. I have cherry picked one very specific moment in order to make a point.
For those of you who may have been dragged to one too many Hollywood Rom Coms (possibly by the promise of more sexy time), you may notice the story is usually similar. The main character spends the entire movie searching for the righr person, only to find they have been right in front of them all along.
Booya.
