Do people realise Ratten is our forwards coach?

Whilst we are at it Cairnsy/Highett, what are your credentials such that your opinion holds significantly more weight than mine and anyone elses for that matter on this forum?

Can anyone tell me what Ratten has achieved that makes him the Messiah?
Better than 50% winning record as a head coach, spent years under Clarko at the most successful club in recent history.

It’s a good start.
And under whom did Bolton get his assistant coaching experience?
No coach would have been successful with that Carlton team. And Ratten at least already has senior coaching runs on the board.

Not saying he’s the messiah, but he has one of the better resumes.

You're surely not suggesting that Carlton's list is worse than ours??

Carlton's list and side is no good. They are very poor. They kicked 4 goals on the weekend against an average side missing tons of players.

I reckon Playfair is our no 1 assistant. He has done wonders with our backline this year.

Far rather build around Cripps, Curnow, Walsh, McGovern and McKay than our so called future stars.

McGovern and McKay...please. Average at best.

Cripps is getting banged up from being no 1 and tagged and the Curnow brothers are overrated.

Walsh will be good.

But I don't care about the Blues, I follow the Saints.

I'd cool the Jets on ratten as coach for the time being simply because he has given no indication he wants the top job. Infact most comments indicate he is happy Being 2ic.

To me it seems like Scott was approached by Carlton and he liked what he heard it got offered, roos found out or he told them and they told him to pack up and go. now he has six months off before he goes to Carlton who have so much untapped talent it is staggering

Gresham and Billings are A grade for us.

Blinded by positivity Ted.

McKay & Curnow will give opposition teams nightmares for the next decade.

Cripps is an absolute freak. Blues will land a gun FA this offseason to go with him and protect him.

Walsh only going to keep getting better.

Appreciate your positivity mate but I think your rose coloured glasses are blinding you to the truth.
Any team that has two players who would not get a game at Collingwood as captain and vice has real list problems!

If Billings is considered 'A' Grade, lord help us all. Carlisle is far more 'A' grade than Billings anyway.

Come on come clean, it's badminton isn't it. I'm assuming you were a doubles player if you were a vice captain.
