'BRETT Ratten's preference to win the Carlton coaching job was made clear yesterday when he deferred an interview with Melbourne ..."

I think we may asume the writing is on the wall there!!!

On an aside. I think it was during the Doggies broadcast that whilst interviewing Harris he made , to me, an intersting comment. Almost a throw away. He said "they would announce the coaching position at the end of the season, hopefully in time for the new coach to have input to the trading, drafting ".... Now to me the only reason you would hold off announcing immediately come seasons end wouild be possibly if the incumbent was still coaching at the highest level! That's curious to me as it almost rules out the contingent of assistants. I mean big deal if people know where they are going if finals still on. But you might hold off if it was the SENIOR coach. Not too many fill that criteria. Williams ( Sandy ) and Sheedy ( Bombers ) might be about it .

Just thought I'd mention that ... wondered if anyone else had thoughts?

cheers

I'm comfortable with the deferred interview. I want Ratten to focus only on beating the Dons this week. Sorry Ash! :P

I just want the Blues to win one more game.

It seems that Ratten is going to stay with Carlton, a real shame both for us and the rest of the competition (Carlton will actually win games next year! :rolleyes: ).

I'd say that Bond is currently the front runner, with McKenna, Riley and Connolly not far behind. I'm not so sure that Sheedy is going to be offered the coaching job, but he might be given a different role within the club (hopefully).

From all reports, the announcement will be made after Round 22 in respect to all participants and Mark Riley himself.

That doesn't mean that it'll take that long to make the decision. Although, if final presentations haven't been done yet, it might just take another month or so.

I haven't heard anybody be for McKenna. Is anyone wanting to be coach?

Ratten announced on SEN that he was withdrawing from the Melbourne coaching position.

His reasons were valid and similar to those spoken by Mark Harvey.

When did that happen?

No it doesn't. The assistants in question will still be working until the end of the season..........

Pity ... a presentation to Chris Fagan on Carlton's gameplan going forward would've been very useful

I know it already. All 18 of the Blues to line up in their forward 50. Pagan's Paddock in reverse.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
