Just looking into Ratten further he actually did a good job at Carlton. Took over a rabble who finished 2nd last to a team who played finals a few times.

I agree.
Brendan Bolton. He isn't on a fixed contract at Carlton. He's on some stupid employee contract which I believe is reviews every 12 months. Offer him 5 years.
In a few months he's turned a bunch of useless pricks into a decent team. Imagin what he does with our list.
Also, like the way he operates. Saw a few mins of his Carlton doco and was very impressed.

Press conferences don't do much for me anymore. We have probably the press conference coach there is.
Clarko and Malthouse are and were absolute nongs at times during their pressers. Ross Lyon too.
All had their teams running like rolex's.
Brett Ratten?! There's a reason the Blues got rid of him. He built a front-running, uncontested brand of football which fell apart in finals and pressure games. Structures were always suspect against good teams, and deteriorated so badly by the end of his reign that the gameplan fell apart entirely against absolute minnows like Gold Coast and GWS. Won only a single final, against a crippled Essendon, during the entirety of his five year tenure.
Any of that sound familiar, gang?

perhaps he prefers coca cola over pepsi
Has anyone ever looked closely at our past list of coaches? I would be positive that not one of them would have ever had to apply for the position or had to prove to a panel that they had the right attributes to be a successful coach. Eg Alistair Clarkson wasn't first choice of many for the Hawthorn gig but he won them over during the application process. Especially Dunstall. Brendan Bolton was up against many other potential Carlton coaches but he won out after proving he was the most suited to their needs. Luke Beveridge seemed like an unusual choice but the exhaustive process again made sure the right man was picked. If we are to move the coach on I hope we throw open the position and have a thorough procedure to find the best coach for Collingwood at the current time.

LOL LYON.......you guys can't be serious..
I hate watchin' his teams (except in October 2010)
Lots of people refer to Bomber's issues. How did he stay in the system so long if it was such common knowledge.

Team Captain
Ratten, he can bring hodge as the midfield coach, box hill Hawks coach as senior assistant, and whoever else he can poach
.
To poach one of the best young coaches in the game from our biggest rival due to their stupid rolling 12 month contract, would be pretty sweet and the ultimate troll job.
But I think Bolton has too much integrity to leave after 1 year.
Unfortunately, I agree. Would be great. Just when they're starting to get their shit together too.
If we become ruthless again we would be more than capable of it.

I think Ratten would be a really respected guy and given the death of his young son the players would love to play for him.
