Ratten's first interview as coach

[cong8]

The BEST interview I've seen come out of the club in the past 5 or 6 years. Ratten was well composed, enthusiastic and positive.

I'd urge everyone to have a look - certainly lifted my spirits as a carlton supporter.

Thanks for that great interview. Can't wait to see what he can get out of the boys on saturday

 

[audas]

He even has th ecliches ready, 110% Ratten, grab it by both hands.

Very excited by this. There is something great about Blues coming to help the blues, has been missing on the field for years, bit of solidarity might help.

 

[Blue Dimension]

Jeez, i was trying really hard to think who he reminds me of...he speaks exactly like Mark Thompson.

I just love the passion he has. He'll be great.

I couldnt help but giggle when he said "we're not going to go out there and kick 20 goals every week" *cough Pagan cough*

 

[sticks74]

This is what we have been waiting for...

A coach who has new ideas and passion, not a has been who once coached a great side!

 

[scorpion2466]

If we can keep the opposition from kicking cricket scores against us in the next six weeks then I will be satisfied. That's a start for me.

it was the best interview for a long time. Strangely enough, he was speaking the same language as us.

 

[NWTYRX]

[Big Fish]

Sounds like there may be a few players making there debut in the next couple of weeks.....

Shouldn't matter I don't think. Maybe too many are trying to view it.

BigPoo don't have a great reputation.

Can anyone post it on Youtube for those who can't see it?

GOTIT!!!!!!!!

I just read your edit...so I'm the only noob!

I just left the window open, and it started after about 5 minutes.

Thanks F25....hope your namesake is around next year!

What a superb interview. A man who when he speaks connects to people.

Rare as.

 

[Bluebear]

Thanks for that.

Looking forward to seeing Austin, Edwards, and maybe even Benjamin get a crack.

If Walker has surgery they could elevate one of Jacobs or Jamieson for a crack as well.

I feel like its last year all over again.
Going to the footy, not to look at the scoreboard but to watch the kids.
Oh, well, good luck to em.

Impressive. It is pretty clear the priority is not winning games though, for understandable reasons. It's more about giving the younger players a run, boosting up their confidence, and getting the right mindset going into the pre-season.

 

[Scruff83]

Yep, good interview! He seems to have embraced the oppurtunity. Very enthusiastic, which is whats needed! Looking fwd to seeing how he handles things, tactics/game plane wise.

Thanks for the link!

Ratten's first interview

Check out Ratten's first interveiw as coach at http://bigpondvideo.com/afl/39644

He makes a great first up impression, talking about getting the players excited and having some fun. Also stresses its more about the players than him - great point!

Gives the firm impression that he will be playing a number of new kids to see how they go. The only thing he can do. This can only be of benefit to Carlton in the long run.

Finally, makes referrence to and is vary aware of us supporters and the need to look after us.

All in all a great interview that will do his long term prospects no harm. I would have no objection to him being put up as our permanent senior coach.

Jamieson is the one.Then we can consign that dud Ackland back to the Bullants where he belongs!!!!

Why lightbulb, because it wasn't there when I put this one on!

Stupid capped internet.

God help the Carlton FC if this is actually the case!!! There's a reason why people's football opinion is confined to an internet forum you know.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Couldnt help but feel inspired by that interview. Just hearing that the the young fellows like JR and PB will be given a shot will give them massive boost in confidence. To be honest i couldnt think of any 1 better to be our coach, other than McKenna who is available, but i would rather have Rats.

 

[blueboy152]

That interview was really good, Hes going to give the youngsters more of a go and not leave them on the bench like pagan did. These last few weeks we should see a different carlton side, more passion for the club is what i want to see. I think we should give the job full time next year, not sure about voss.
