Cards13 9,117 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Hawks announced Ratten is an assistant coach. Actually slightly disappointed about this. The rich get richer. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/hawthorn-appoints-ratten-as-assistant-coach-20121005-274f7.html
The Lobster Effect 900 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 The rich get richer. That's right. Hawks also signed up a new irish guy as an international rookie. Surely the richer clubs will eek out more of an advantage with better and more coaches, more international rookies, better and more recruiters... arrgh...
IRW 1,388 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Thats one that got away I think,though he possibly wouldnt have wanted to come back to the bottom of the ladder again Anyway all is not lost, MFC apparantly have managed to retain the multi experienced Brian Royal.
beelzebub 23,396 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Not bothered. Am sure if the club thought he was worth pursuing we would have. We didnt muck around getting others Having said that i want a better performng midfield. How much of that is purely the cattle and how much the muster.well we'll know next year. For some reason there are supporters who think we have to collect everyone !!
Sir Why You Little 37,550 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Looks like the MFC is Backing it's coaches and changing the cattle.
IRW 1,388 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Most of MFC's coaches are actually inexperienced in their roles....except for Brian Royal. So the jury is still out on most of them I guess,
LegsLeoncelli 162 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Based on Tom McDonald's (and to a lesser extent Watts when he was down back) development, Rawlings' ability seems encouraging. Hopefully Strauss, Bennell, Tapscott or whoever else the FD have earmarked as the core defensive group continue to show improvement.

jumbo returns 6,747 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Now he can sit on the bench and punch the air after every goal, shouting 'Go Hawks'....what a numbnut. He had no idea how to coach.

thaipantsman 180 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Ratten is a absolute bonus for Hawks. They'll be happy to be rid of Cameron. All I ever hear coming out of Leon Cameron's mouth is and um, and ahhh, you know...about a hundred times and UMMMMM. Media has been building Cameron up for the past 5 years. Poor GWS...suffer in ya jocks!

Rhino Richards 1,467 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 From head coach down thus why I was hoping Ratts was a chance for us would have been huge get.... He was never a chance for us. Ratten didnt want the only head coach role going this year at Port. The next best option was the assistant coach at Hawthorn. Go figure. Ratten is a absolute bonus for Hawks. They'll be happy to be rid of Cameron. All I ever hear coming out of Leon Cameron's mouth is and um, and ahhh, you know...about a hundred times and UMMMMM. Media has been building Cameron up for the past 5 years. Poor GWS...suffer in ya jocks! You havent got a clue. Cameron had good results with the Hawks midfield who were close to the premier midfield in the comp. Who gives a rats clacker about how he handles 30 second sound bites as he runs off the ground. Looks like the MFC is Backing it's coaches and changing the cattle. Most of them are contracted and were appointed 12 months ago. If there was an issue with the coaching the investigation should start from the top.
jumbo returns 6,747 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Clearly has a fair idea how to coach. Is your only comparison Dean Bailey?

Please do not be true. OMG how can we keep doing the same thing over again....
dtrinh 71 Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Yeah a bit sad about ratten, was hoping that he might have come and coached our midfield, but maybe would be a power struggle between neeld and ratts. Would want to bring in proven coaches from successful teams so even if melbourne could snare bassett as an assistant coach.
