At tonight’s routine monthly meeting, the board of the Carlton Football Club ratified the decision to reappoint Brett Ratten as the senior coach for a further two years.
 
“Prior to the season the Club and Brett agreed that a decision on his future would not be made until Carlton’s season was completed and tonight’s scheduled meeting came just days after our semi-final loss. We have continued to provide feedback to Brett throughout the season and tonight’s decision will enable the Club to finalise discussions with Brett and his Manager to formally reappoint Brett as the senior coach of the Carlton Football Club,” said Carlton President Stephen Kernahan.
