What is our obsession with apprentice senior coaches? Would you rather a carpenter with 5 years experience or an apprentice?
I was a critic when he was appointed prematurely based upon form from last year.
The much criticised Barker had a similar trajectory to Teague after he took over as caretaker.
Ratten was more quaiified, loves our club, was respected and although he was dismissed the first time.. I'm sure he would've learnt from his first go at it, we rode out the mistakes from Ratten. He would've been a much better choice.
First season as coach and we're doing about as well as everyone expected before the start of the year. Some hope about making finals being raised and then lowered seems to be making people lose sight of where we're at.I'm having doubts about him
