Bar recent change the core of the list is the same one Ratten took to fifth
That was the ceiling for this lot
Club got Mick to see if he could take th further but that wasn't to be
Take a look at the players who've missed lots of footy this year ... Judd, Carrazzo, Waite all old players plus Scotland retired
It's over for this leadership core
They've run out of legs. Injuries are common place
That's not Micks fault and he's done very well to develop some key defenders and some kids in just the last 8 or so weeks, the redevelopment of a new wave has already commenced and Mick deserves credit for this
If you can't see this you don't know football Gerry
Mick probably knew time would be up for the likes of Carrazzo, Judd, Waite, Scotland etc
He's in it for the LT and that's a plus because he's demonstrated In just 8 weeks he knows how to rebuild lists and confidence and amazingly develop so so players into good players - Rowe, White etc
Gerry, how much depth do we have? Have you seen the VFL side? It's terrible. There's bugger all depth. Do you understand why Mick played senior players since R1 who weren't fit? Is it Micks fault the list is mediocre? Do you understand football?
I think you are very generous sugarcane. And what is the 8 weeks about, he has been at the club about 90 weeks. To be honest i can't see how anyone could think he is getting the best out of the list. Its not a premiership list, it lacks depth but it is also not a bottom 4 list or a worse than brissy list. Compare him to roos. He has had way longer and been far less effective. As for White, he was an okay player under Ratts and he is an okay player now. Rowe was ill for a year and has done well to be serviceable this year? Not sure if their form is worth Mick's salary. He can't lose if no matter what happens, no matter how poor we are it is always the players fault. Ultimately the coach is there to get the best from the players. How many games has he managed to do that this year? In 2 games, maybe 3. Look i intensely dislike him, ii think he is a bitter self promoting ego driven nasty bloke, so I am a bit irrational re MM but i can't imagine why he gets no heat when the rest of the club is under the pump and i genuinely can't imagine us going far with him. I think he has lost genuine passion. And there is absolutely no reason to even consider his contract until august next year.
Anyway if mick is here for the long term i won't be.
