Bring in Choco

[Teflon]

IF as strong rumours suggest the deal with Ratten (and some players) has been done (disgrace if so) then the club better wrap some people around this guy who have genuine footy smarts.

Rath clearly having too much to say as a stats man - players looked totally confused abs when they have the ball in hand like they don’t know what to do next

Get Williams in as head footy operations to oversee match day he’s been excellent everywhere he’s been and good knows we could do with an extra football brain

Get Rath out of the box.

[SaintPav]

He sabotaged the coaching selection process in 2013.

I doubt the club will turn to him and I doubt he will want to come.

I haven’t heard that before

My recollection is that he applied and was the firm favourite, interviewed well enough but AR had one hell of a PowerPoint prepared.

The club initially sought out Williams who was the favourite until a bizarre interview where he came across as unhinged. No love lost between both parties. Though, place is now run by totally different people.

The club was then forced to approach Richo at the last minute who they had previously interviewed a few years before.

Anyway, does anyone know what William’s role is at Melbourne exactly?

Richo runs operations. Choco is support.

Pointless random solutions..

Identify the solution first. Isn’t that how it works.

I've heard about this progressive approach, and so does that mean once a solution is developed, do you then need to uncover a problem?

The only strong rumours are from Big Footy, so personally, i'd be wary of believing it.

The media and Lethlean, publically, don't believe Big Footy either.

More dross from anonymous poster on footy forum who hasn’t got an opinion other than “sack Sharman”
I’ll take Williams record over nonsensical ramblings of a wanna be keyboard warrior ..

Correct I heard that also
He was p!ssed at the way the club handled the process but interviewed well apparently
Anyhoo we apparently don’t need his type cause we’ve got Rath and a spreadsheet…

That's what i thought.

I listened to Choco in a three quarter time address in the VFL vs Sandy (I think it was Werribee)

He is mental, I mean seriously unhinged!

BTW
He did nothing with them as a VFL coach

Ok we’ll that’s settled
Ex AFL coach that Cornes said is the best development coach he’s ever seen , has been credited with helping both Melb and Tigers in successful runs at flags…..is useless cause Mart has assessed him.

Ok

[Scollop]

What's wrong with people that are unhinged?

Choco, Clarko, Bevo, Dimma ...

As long as they deliver silverware...who gives a flying farquah

[B.M]

Question 1
Why would he leave Melbourne to come to StK

Question 2
How many coaches did Kane (shock jock) Cornes have?

[SaintPav]

What's wrong with people that are unhinged?

Absolutely nothing!!!

Teflon, SaintPav, Scollop etc etc

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Personally I’d go Buckley & yes I know he has ruled out next year,I think he learnt a lot at the pies nearly got them a flag with an ok team,o reckon he would be a beauty!

Who knows if Buckley would succeed if he had a 2nd stint. Coaches are a bit like politicians,lot's love them when they are voted in but they are despised when they are voted out.

North thought Noble was going to be a beauty and look how that is panning out. Noble is this year's media request for the latest member of the sacked coaches association.

The question is, does Ratten have the cattle?

Compare us with a rival, Carlton.

They have Curnow and McKay. We have Max King and ????

They have Cripps and Walsh. We have Steele and Gresham. Stars, sure, but perhaps not superstars.

I said at the start of the season when we were winning that our is a patched-together moneyball list lacking a bit in star quality. Our list has most bases covered, but perhaps lacks the cream on top. Lots of good depth players, but lacking in genuine match-winners. Who are our match-winners?

Even if we are not top 4/Carlton
You can not tell me this list isn’t better than what Richo had and certainly better than 2 goals in 3 quarters of footy???
It’s why I think there are coaching issues - it’s not 1 player suddenly lost form/is now ordinary…..it’s the whole team !
Zero connection
Players look confused
Not mentally switched on for games
Coaching has big say in much of that….
But it’s a done deal and Lethers knows it
Boys club

[bigcarl]

I think the results are about what you’d expect from our list. Exceeded expectations before the bye and now copping a harsh reality check.

Their confidence was mauled against Essendon and they played like it against Sydney.

I’m not really a Ratten apologist and concede he has weaknesses as a coach as well as strengths. But would Clarko really have us better placed?
