Re: blues played better footy under ratts Reply #2 – May 03, 2014, 03:16:09 pm Considering the list we had under Ratten, it now looks that he did brilliantly. Doesn't mean he was going to get us a flag, as we couldn't recruit for crap then. But it does show just how good the guy was.Hopefully he will get even better. Quote Selected

We were in a bottomless pit of sh1t when he took over, had to put up with sh1t recruiting, crap assistant coaches that couldn't develop anyone, and still just miss a PF very unluckily by 3 pts.

Ratts probably got the team to perform to its optimum while MM is trying to create a team that can play the type of footy that you need for sustained success. Unfortunately we need some new blood before that can happen. Quote Selected

When MM was a the Filth, we marvelled at what he was able to get out of a bunch of spastics to win a flag. He managed to get a very average list to adhere to instructions and give there all. All of a sudden, the game plan is crap, he can't coach, etc etc. I put the blame square on the useless bunch of soft corks that pull the jumper on every week. Quote Selected
