CARLTON coach Brett Ratten

CARLTON coach Brett Ratten has tempered the burgeoning optimism among the club's supporters, urging them to be patient with the young list.
With hopes rising, largely because of the recruitment of West Coast star Chris Judd, No. 1 draft pick Matthew Kreuzer and the return of gun midfielder Nick Stevens, Ratten pointed out that most of the list was still inexperienced.
After finishing last, last and second-last in the past three seasons, Ratten warned against expecting miracles.
"We need to still be patient as a club," Ratten told a large crowd of fans at the Blues' family day at Princes Park.
"We are moving forward, but we have the youngest list in the AFL and the least experience with that as well.
"You'll see a lot of improvement from our players this year, individually and collectively, but still we'd like you to be patient.
"I think we can improve quickly. How quickly? I think that's up to us with our confidence that we can grow through this pre-season period and especially early in the year."
