Give him good $$$ and the ability to pick his own support staff (Russell stays)... and a 66 games reset... he'd be crazy not to try again... Parkin and Walls returned after being treated a lot worse.

I am very much questioning Bloton retaining his position going forwards, but Barker is NOT the answer, AT ALL.

Id be on board with this.
I never shoot the messenger. Are you able to share the more?
I do feel Bolton is perhaps similar to McCartney at the doggies, the teacher that's brings the group together, then another coach is brought in to take the next step. However I just don't know, it's so easy to fire the coach and except the change of one person to fix everything. You worry if we fire him we shoot ourselves in the foot, but in the same way if we don't are we ruining our future? Ideally I'd like to see him see out the year, but who's to know.

There is no chance he doesn't see out the year IMO.
We are clearly much improved on last year, amazing people stick the boots into him when we are poor, yet don't acknowledge the obvious when it is positive.
I see it as counter productive to sack him at this stage. For what? to bring in another untried coach? Persist until its 100% certain that he isn't the man to take us forward. A sunny day doesn't make a summer, 1 bad loss isn't the end of the Carlton Football Club.
Bolton will see out the year, but there is simply no way he keeps his job if we only win 2-3 games.
I’d be getting into Longmire’s ear about a change of scenery.

Me neither. If true Just seems unusual that it's happening now.

Happy to offer it closer to the end of the year, it’s way too early at this stage. SOS is getting soft.
Yes he will.
What makes you so sure?
This’ll get howled down by the masses, but, I have had dealings with Ratts over his son, and our aside conversations about the Blues leave me thinking he would come back if the regime was different, and it is. He’s moved forward from his dark times and I think he’s back on the coaching merry-go-round full bore.
Would be amazing.
I'd take him in a heartbeat.
His impact at St Kilda has been huge
Can we just name the Top 5 player ?

Don't think that would be the case. It's probably more about putting an offer to him early enough so that he can get his head around playing one more year.
We can't afford to lose both Daisy and Simmo in the same year. Needs to be done progressively, otherwise it will leave a big hole in our defense.
I know we've got Docherty to come back, but he's coming back off two ACL's. No guarantee his body will hold up. Unfortunately that's the nature of ACL's.
So the GS rumour.
You'd say the player is either Curnow or McKay.
If they're willing to pony up two top 10 picks for Charlie, I'd let him go
