Maybe so, but it will be the perception neverthless, given he's just been sacked.

He has also benefitted from favourable draft picks, that has netted them Judd, Kreuzer, Murphy, Gibbs, Walker. Interestingly when 2 of those weren't available earlier in the year - Murphy and Kreuzer - Port defeated them convincingly.

Correct. They had the currency of 2 early picks, so were in a position to work a trade, and ultimately it was picks 3 and 20, with Josh Kennedy involved.

My point is that Ratten had some real quality players at his disposal, and he wasn't able to do as much with them as what a lot of people would have expected.
