"There's people doing it tough" - Ratten's powerful response to Saints sacking/return to North I 360

[@rm7098]

A lot of respect for ratts, great to see someone in his position put footy into perspective like that. Very classy.

[@justarandomnobody7451]

Classy man, Ratts. Terribly treated by my club. Will always have my respect bcos of how he handled what happened. Had every right to take a shot at us but remained quiet. Hope he has only success from here on out. Gluck with north, ratts!

[@ReubenSilveira6]

As a Carlton fan, I could say exactly the same thing!

[@noidea26]

@@ReubenSilveira6 his press conference after he was sacked at Carlton was pure class.

[@benchmarkthis]

Absolute great bloke and while I think STKFC made the right decision it was handled pretty poorly and the hurt must still sting for Ratts. In saying that I think the Saints tried to minimise the public 'burning' of him by not making public the findings of the review but in the end he was treated brutally and I think all of us Saints supporters would wish him every success in the future

[@tj323i]

Ratts is an absolute gem of a human. I'd love him to be an assistant at Collingwood.

[@petersobey8893]

Never happen.

[@FreemanMindfulness]

Have a good day!

[@michaeljohn-ve3xg]

He might just go onto be the coach nth full time

[@MegaCaza1]

Such an inspiring figure. Has gone through a lot in his life and always love hearing him speak. Regardless of what people think of him as a coach, both sackings were completely unjustified. Carlton just shafted him for really no reason other than getting Mick Malthouse to stick it up Collingwood. St Kilda resigns him to a multi year extension, which they completely back track on because of coach sacker Geoff Walsh’s recommendations. Should never of resigned him in the first place if they were going to move on from him. It’s such a shame cause he probably won’t get another coaching gig at senior level unless Clarkson is out for a long long time. Hope he can excel at North for whatever time he has in charge, and hopefully he can get another main gig some point in the future.

[@petersobey8893]

Will be back at the Blues after the bye.

[@r.mhaych5021]

From an Essendon person,Ratts is a great person and coach! He just needs a club to back him fully

[@TheDizzymarskell]

Class. Pure class

[@wellblimeycharlie2963]

I don't know why the AFL doesn't hire Brett Ratten and bring and bring him into AFL HQ. Such a genuine classy footy person that fans from all clubs would like to see having a say in the direction footy is heading.

[@bruce7921]

Talking about others less fortunate and talking about being there for his kids, I think most watching this won't know that his son Cooper died tragically in a car accident at just 16 years old. Ratten is a quality human being.

[@moocher9935]

Beautifully said Ratt's... Been shafted a few times & he could be so bitter with the game but stands tall & holds his head up high... All the best to you

[@mattspencer-mumme-sc8ty]

How Carlton treated him with his win loss record at the time is mind boggling it has not been good for the blues ever since, nor how Collingwood shafted Malthhouse and sabotaged their own potential dynasty with the competitions best young list at the time in 2012 It is just as mind boggling with the succession plan that Eddy was the mastermind, which now history records it was a disaster of their own making that resulted in a player exit and internal revolt against the new coach.

[@bernardkehoe7610]

North Melbourne keep this man.

[@manuelpappos7181]

Hope he applies for the Richmond job.

[@TMoney76]

He’s a great guy, but no thanks.

Nah, we need Hinkley or Leppitsch

[@michaeljohn-ve3xg]

What a Gem he is

[@dougharrison7844]

Carltons demise can be traced back to Rattons sacking.

[@darensavy5014]

Brett Ratten is a stand up guy 💪

[@vinsanityrugby]

Gotta feel for ratts, sacked by carlton for no reason then saints let him go after signing a contract, would love to have him at the pies as an assistant coach

[@brendanh8786]

Get some evidence and get C Wilson on and grill her. No one will.

[@perpetualgrin5804]

Always liked him at the Saints, great he has a job😅.

[@patkelly6349]

Gee I thought I had a head for radio but Robbo beats me hands down

[@sweetcell8767]

Ratts is a great man. Amazing player and coach. The guy lost his teenage son. What does he do? He continues on!

[@tousenoart]

a true knight of footy great efforts brett ratten hopefully youll get a flag with someone in the coaches box eventually ps have they sacked the orange team loving female commentator yet

[@bas4903]

No sadly.

[@bonwana2275]

Ratten's powerful response to Robbo's typically stupid question. Robbo needs to be retired.

[@hadynbarr5716]

Some powerful cliches

[@nintiwirri]

Well I assume St Kilda gave him a years wage when they sacked him?

[@bonwana2275]

7:30 Scotties answer should be... "as thick as you are Robbo".

[@doolarena]

Chris - How did you celebrate? Bloke doesn't remembered he got backstabbed and fired

[@drdiscostu]

2 of the 3 most BS sackings have been ratten. The other being Collingwood/Malthouse

[@stevesalkas9128]

Big mistake by North with Clarko.should of taking ratten for few million not 5m I'm not north fan hope he teachers the kids

[@juliannoel5715]

He doesn't look well.
