Sack & Happy - Happy Sack

Post: # 1991800Post Ghost Like »

Firstly, my apologies as I don't know how to set up a Poll or even whether it would work.

If we take as a given that re-signing Ratten mid year was a mistake. Can I pose these two questions to see where we all sit...(or forever hold your peace :wink: )

Simple YES or NO answers as we all know the circular worm holes expanded answers to these questions produce.

1.) Should we have sacked Ratten?

2.) Are you happy we have Ross back in charge?

I'll start...

1.) YES

2.) YES

1) Yes (the mistake was the mid-year extension, not the sacking)
2) YES (don't like how he left, but can't deny he's got the cred)

But that is the issue isn't it?

We will never know if he was the best available.

Yes, he'd peaked and was on the decline. Shouldn't have been re-signed.

Yes, if three other clubs went after him, he's obviously still highly regarded.

Yes because you can't sack half the squad.
Yes because I believe his role will be game day tactician and he will let the ex champion mentors, develop the young players into footballers.

I signed the form but dropped an untouched ballot paper in the box. Again. Creature of habit.

I'd like another poll


Do you think Ross will win a flag within 4 years?

The law of averages are certainly against it..1 flag in 149 years is appalling.
I do feel for Ross, he came so close 2 years running & Freo had their chances in 2013.

Those were list's chock full of talent right in the flag sweet spot, he failed at rebuilding the list at freo and only had won rate of 33% in his final years so that will be where all the hyper focus will be this time around.

Do you think he can rebuild a list and win a flag within 4 years with his second attempt?
