I voted yes because it was the right thing to do.
After the last six weeks however, it is easy to say that we should have waited.

I dont think this issue is the coach. But as per usual in this game he's a soft and easy target.

They need to work it out. Or he wont see out his contract. That's for sure and I'm loathe to see this club in the position of sacking another coach.

One thing on Thomas. Sure his list at the time had some incredibly talented kids... But he developed leaders. Absolute leaders.

Sure the list, injuries & the draw haven't helped but I don't think Ratt's is the man to lead us to glory , nice bloke but not sure has what it takes to get us to the level required to even challenge for a flag nether lone win one . I hope he proves me wrong
Me too
Was against signing his months ago and could see a win from a quarter here a quarter there

Not at all, I'm mainly interested in forums for discussion, not participating in SunnyErnie type yes or no type votes.

It makes me chuckle though, your voting thread reminds me of the notes we used to pass around under the table in primary school with a question like do you hate our teacher, tick yes or no.

An incredibly rigged voting system is dodgy. You're just trying to create a false narrative with binary decision making to validate a bias. I can train a pigeon to tick yes or no to the question if they would like their wings cut off. But even the pigeon won't like the question and might be smart enough to ask who set the question.

Surely you are taking the pith now...I hope you are because if you didn't intend that then my sense of humour is way too wierd. However If binary chat is your thing then I apologise for laughing and say there is nothing wrong with framing a question to procure confirmation of your bias via yes/no voting.

Dear Pollster,
Does the poll suggest 18 of the 58,000 members don't think Ratts is smoking hot or can teach algebra? Or neither.
Can't figure it out from the raw data.

Confused forward, of Moorabbin
