    I thought it was going to be a link to a HS article on Melbourne fans calling for it!

    Please do Carlton, we'll gladly have him back as our midfield coach.

    I think as a senior coach, Ratten has shown he is a very good midfield coach.

    What's wrong with it?

    It's true, he was an awesome midfield coach.

    How would a supporter truly know how an assistant coach has performed?

    in 2004, he had Jeff White as AA ruckman and Scott Thompson has a class first dibs midfielder. At no other time has MFC had that combination since. He rode on their back until Round 17 when White fatigued and Thompson got injured. Our midfield went to water and looked chumps under Ratten.

    And was this the same guy that gave a first round pick for Brock McLean??? Eeekkkk. Ratten coached him at close quarters and had coached against him. Surely he would have realised what was obvious to the outside world on McLean. Clearly not.

    Scott Thompson was only 22 in 2004, which suggests he was developed and coached well by the MFC midfield staff. He was injured in Round 13, and the midfield held up - if only for a month.

    I think Ratten was a good coach. Carlton wouldn't have him otherwise.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
