Seems like a waste of a player/coaches continuing chronology to not bump an old thread. So i google the "name and demonland" to see if one has been made before and notice it is quite interesting in hindsight and perhaps it would be of some interest to others, at least for a laugh!

That sounds like logic...

    11 year bump? Did someone have this thread favourited in Internet Explorer 3?

     

    Intentional. High Impact. 3 weeks with an early guilty plea.

    No idea what he is like as a person but his record is impressive 

    • As a player won the Carlton B & F in a Flag year
    • Was generally regarded as a big loss when he left us as our midfield coach
    • Shafted at Carlton as Senior Coach, taking them to finals after becoming coach from the sacked Denis Pagan. Finished with a winning record (60-59-1) something you’d imagine the current Carlton coach would kill for.
    • Was assistant coach during the Hawthorn three peat and the current mini rebuild. 

    Personally i I would love to have him back to the club.

    He is a must have appointment. Might be the best Decision the club has ever made.

    knows the clarkson game plan back to front. 

    If he can shed some light to the staff and players of how the best coach of all time operates then that is an asset.

    Heard on the radio he’s officially joining St Kilda.

    Good get for the Saints.

    In reading the comments above, I don't think we really need Ratten.  With Goodwin and the team getting us to 5th and with the footy we have been playing I think we are headed in the right direction.  No need to change what has, to this point, been a very good combination.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
