    They would be great gets, but if our assistants are all contracted like it’s been said for 2019, I highly doubt our club would have the balls to sack them.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

      Maybe we can talk Mitchell and Boydy into pulling the boots back on.

      I'm only half joking.

        At least they’d tackle better than 75% of our current team

          Gilbee is a ripper bloke - but I'm not interested in getting him as a coach. The mail on Gilbs is the players love him, but that he doesn't have the application and work ethic required. These assistant coaches have to be absolute workhorses and leave no stone unturned.

          Ratten does sound appealing though.

            Bevo from this morning's press conference.

            "LB: I couldn’t be happier with our coaches. They are same panel that helped us win flag, they’ve been great support for me. They’re are all definitely wanted."

              I think the actual decision making on assistant coaches has to be taken away from Beveridge. He has input but not the final say.

              He is extremely loyal and just as stubborn - Can he make that tough call?

              Is Chris Grant the right person to be footy manager as who ultimately rubber stamped our list management strategy.

              It appears that having both Graham Lowe and Brett Montgomery leaving our club within 6 months of each other may have a had a much bigger impact than we previously thought.
              OK I’m getting into dangerous territory quoting myself from back in May, but reading the quote from Beveridge presser more than ever someone needs to make the change for him.

                  Same assistants who have overseen us crash in epic style too...

                    Wow - the quotes from AFL media Ryan Davidson are even worse than what the club tweeted. Apparently no room for Ratten.

                      They're contracted but does that necessarily mean within their current roles? We have switched roles around a few times in recent years.

                            The sad thing is, that's not the joke. It appears those above him with power, Grant, Bains & PG are going along with it. That's the real joke.

                                Shouldn't really be his call in the end. More and more I think we need a Geelong-style sweeping review
