It was on The Australian on-line at about 4.00pm, then on the Herald-Sun and the Fox Sports sites shortly afterwards.

Carlton appoints Ratten
July 24, 2007

BRETT Ratten has been appointed Carlton caretaker coach for the remainder of the AFL season.

Ratten, a former Carlton star and current Blues assistant coach, replaces Denis Pagan, who was sacked yesterday.

Ratten is also expected to be on the shortlist to be the club's next fulltime coach from 2008 onwards.

“I am looking forward to working with our players and coaches to help set Carlton on the path to future success,” Ratten said in a statement.

“This is a huge challenge for everyone at the club.

“The players have a lot to play for.

“ There is still much for them to achieve as we strive towards becoming a more competitive, professional and united outfit, which is why we will be looking closely at the playing list in these last six weeks.”

The Blues have lost their last five matches to slump to 14th place on the ladder.

Ratten's first match in charge will be against St Kilda on Saturday.

“Brett has a wonderful football knowledge and his recent coaching experiences have enhanced his position,” said Carlton chief executive Greg Swann.

“It is this knowledge and experience that has provided him with this opportunity.

“An added bonus for all Carlton people is Brett's long affiliation with the club and his standing as one of Carlton's great players.”

Ratten played 255 games for Carlton between 1990-2003, winning the best and fairest award on three occasions and captaining the club in the final two seasons of his distinguished career.

He has served as an assistant coach with Melbourne and Carlton and also spent a year as head coach of Adelaide suburban club Norwood.

part extract from the herald sun.

"After retiring as a player in 2003 and spending the following year at Melbourne, he coached the Victorian Country Football League's representative team in 2005.

Last year he led Norwood into a grand final in Melbourne's Eastern League."
