Was regarded at Melbourne but didn't get on with Daniher apparently.

Also wanted to coach a team in his own rght and so left to coach a local team somewhere..

    He coached the Yarra Glen football club to my knowledge.

    On Triple M yesterday, they discussed Ratten and most of the panel (Brayshaw, Billy Brownless, Frawley, and Barrett) said that it would be VERY UNLIKELY that Ratten get the sack, even if they lose this weekend.

    Blues lost to the Saints, and now look to be on shaky ground going in against Essendon in the first week of the finals.

    I predict a Carlton player or 2 will miss the game after stepping on fingers and other indiscretions in last night's game.

    If the blues are swept out of the finals in the first week, Brett Ratten will be lining up at Centrelink on the Monday.

    If we are seriously making a run at either Ross Lyon or Mick Malthouse, and they are in fact available, we will face serious opposition in the race for their signatures...

    They'll beat Essendon easily.

    They bloody well should.

    Upsets happen.

    No Kreuzer. No Waite. They are deeply worried.

    Come Sunday 5pm I might be looking for the arrogant turd in the MCC who was boasting of a looming 20 goal win a few weeks back when we fronted them.

    No? Really?

    Or maybe they'll just rest on they're well credentialed laurels as time undoes they're Arch Enemies? Or maybe, No? a footy dept mentor? Nah... That'll cost money!

    IF I can decipher that you infer Mick would be happy to mentor ?? I dont think so..Mick is a Coach..who still wants to coach.Its really that simple...yeah really !!

    He should be safe for another year at least...

    I agree doubt there is a spot at Carlton this side of 2014.

    Ratten will get a 2 year extension.

    Now I am not certain but I thought he got 3 yeras at the end of 2009 and lasted one year after that.

    But you do raise a good point and Carlton (sorry Mrs Pratt ) could afford to pay it out.

    Just remember which clubs we're talking about here.

    I'm on record as Not Wanting mothouse anywhere near our cupboards, bare or not.

    But if your start talking BThompson/Matthews/Roos/Woosh/ - Lyon, I will take note... men.

    Let the paper mache' Kings get they're 'trove'.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
