Autopsy Blues smashed by Giants. No sugar coating this one.

[Dadda Dave]

this might be the begining of exposing Bolton as unprofessional....to me he is way too comfortable considering our position
perhaps he does not give a toss
actually

Spare me days ..

Silvagni had a truckload of picks and in saying that still had more than his fair share of misses. Incredibly hard for anyone to stuff up that club.

What Silvagni did at GWS should have no bearing on his position at Carlton. And no this doesn’t mean I want him sacked. I’m simply saying his time at the Giants is irrelevant.

Of course its relevant. And the length of time they took to get to today is relevant also.

Maybe play some of the ones that aren’t so young and skinny?

Play Goddard ahead of Macreadie (deserved on both body size and form). Play Kennedy over LOB. Play Fasolo, Lang rather than putting kids who aren’t ready out there - at least they have AFL bodies. Use the mid season draft to add another couple of options as well.

So you dont want to play the kids ? How else do they develop?

I'd love a surf report if thats ok.

Bells Bowl Winki and Centres still 3-4ft tonight

EVery second team did that to them the first few years. How long has it taken?

Nowhere near as long as it's taking us. Hawthorn give us a template last week on how to slow them up and stifle their game plan. Would it possibly occur to someone in MC that it was worth looking at?.

I think Bolton is on the right path with this team. I know it sucks but give him time.

We can't keep churning through coaches like we do with Prime Ministers

 

[thylacine60]

I was referring to the midfield and senior players not stepping up.

but do you see how there are 2 ways of looking at the same numbers - which did you choose?

 

[dlb99]

all coaches were once assistance ...cant judge him at this early stage with such a young list..

3.5 years.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Losing Neil Craig appears to be a bigger loss than we first thought.

For this unprecedented re-build, Bolton was always a 4-5 year interim coach.

 

[bluebrew]

He chases, harasses, tackles, spoils and constantly makes 2nd and 3rd efforts.

Wish every player would play with his desperation.

Well for years new players to our club have had leaders who never have, It takes the son of a past champion who has been taught what is acceptable.
The broom still has a lot of sweeping to do at Carlton.

Jim, today had nothing to do with height, it was about commitment

Agree that effort was an abomination, though we absolutely hamstring the teams running power by playing all these talls.

I just can't fathom how some people don't see it as an issue.

 

[dlb99]

Stanton and Barks need to go now …. not bolts. The mere fact they tried to **** off outta the huddle speaks volumes.

All three need to go.
All of them.

still jelly's around apparently - cool weather, very humid, sea is a rolling mud colour and almost as salty as the carlton supporters around here.......

 

[Blue and Blue]

So lets assume we put a brand new shiney head coach in place of Bolts. What would have changed today after a super talented GWS on the rebound?

Can I have 60 seconds think music ?

Pretty sure has been discussed previously...

 

[the nail]

bolton has no respect,from players,has no game plan...we need a m.voss there,2nd time coach,wholl be wiser this time round,plus hell have the balls to put a rocket up these players,and hopefully put in a half decent game plan.

 

[Iamcarlton]

Jim, today had nothing to do with height, it was about commitment

Your point has validity regarding commitment as the desire just didn't seem to be there .
But when some of that height is at the expense of an extra mid or 2 that MAY help us gain some sort of traction in the midfield and clearances it can absolutely have something to do with too many talls .

 

[teknodeejay]

would you like him as our second ruck though?

Do I have other options or just Mumford ?

 

[thylacine60]

have you ever considered reading your posts again before sending them? perhaps out loud might help?

3.5 years, going on 4.

Only getting worse.
Will kill the club if he continues.

Most coaches care about picking sides that demonstrate an ability to stick tackles ...just a guess could be wrong.

Absolutely nothing that’s what, however add twelve months worth of size and experience to our mids and one more mature big bodied A grader and plenty will change including the result. For gods sake GWS have a 5 year head start and AFL assistance up the wazoo what do people expect.

Not even sure why it is that hard in Sydney to do it. The ground is so small. Like....run....and stuff.

Keep a jar of vinegar with you, old son.
