Yet at one stage Ratten had him running around in the VFL and Darren Pfeiffer in the seniors, go figure.
When it got to the ridiculous stage after a couple of 100 point thrashings good old Ratts came to his senses, then lost them again when he played Hoops as sub in his 200th game.
Stevo may have been a Ratten fan but I sure wasnt, great player but a disaster as a coach.

Maybe Ratts knew footy wasn't a one way game and was trying to teach him.
I think I will take Ratts knowledge and understanding of what was needed over Stevens one way footy

He didn't run defensively or tackle or take an over head mark for fear of body contact tho.
That must have been how he got his neck busted, by avoiding body contact.
We all see the game differently, I thought that Stevens went as hard as anyone and harder than most but became a whipping boy for frustrated supporters like Murphy is for some now.
We'll agree to disagree.

I've been given a polite nudge by Lods to stay away from the Ratten talk, but calling him a disaster as a coach is the biggest load of puke inducing nonsense I've ever heard.

LOL!!!! He took us from the bottom to finals in two seasons with a pretty average side and were there the next two years. You not notice the 5 years before and the 3 years after.
Did we lose by 100pts under Ratts? Don't think so. You need to go back to the dill coaching us before for that.
Didn't want to go back to Ratts etc.. but B4L this will not go down as your best post. Wish we were this disastrous now...lol.

It's been done to death already Laj, we'd best leave it at that.

Similarly, JSelwood kicked in danger (fresh air) just missing Simo's head. Simo as usual with his head over the ball. No free. Goal to cats > 
Anyway, when does the "protect the head" come into decisions??

Ratten's problem was he relied on the same pretenders who still let us down today. Never forget Marc Murphy's performance on the footy show after Ratten was sacked.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Murphy, Judd and Kruezer.
Any chance we ever, ever, ever do anything about it?
