Coaching Staff Brendon Bolton - Senior Coach - Locked in until end of 2020 (23/5/18)

[mike ockerts]

Trigg "to the supporters and members, dont worry about Matty Kruezer, we have had some very good chats over the last 10 days or so, he wants to stay at Carlton.
Mikey very happy to hear this.

 

[Jaeger]

Speaks well doesn't he.

I think we will now start to see a trend with clubs in a rebuilding phase going after an educator over a proven coach or past player.

Keen to see how he goes. He was rated very highly in our group even ahead of guys who are now coaching their own teams in the top 8.

 

[Aphrodite]

Great move by the club. Have the club said who's idea this was?

It's Triggs idea and when he announced it as being the may we would go with our new coach, 3 months ago, I thought............Good Luck.

He did it and the club as a whole have done this well. Very happy right now.

Trigg did similar with Neil Craig when appointed as the Crows coach in 2011.

 

[GoBlues!]

He mentioned Fagan twice during the press conference, in glowing terms.

Clearly a Steely Dan fan.

Thanks Aph.
I haven't been able to go through everything today.

Thanks Aph.
I haven't been able to go through everything today.

You will be busy tonight going through everything.

Bolton's presser parts 1 & 2 is up on the Club's website for starters.

I have also posted a few links and a Bolton interview.

 

[Carl Tone]

Also, can someone please explain his no set contract to me?? Thanks

Well, he has, no, set contract.

 

[prisoner777]

Welcome Brendon!

 

[FoeverBlues]

Who is Fagan and what role does he play at Blues??

 

[prisoner777]

A new start for the club. After so many generally underwhelming and frustrating years let's hope this really is the start of a new, positive and successful era for the Blues!! While we can't and shouldn't expect miracles in 2016, bring it on so we can experience the rise and rise of the famous old dark Blues.

 

[Aphrodite]

Who is Fagan and what role does he play at Blues??

Not at the Blues.

He is the General Manager of Football Operations at Hawthorn.

 

[The Ironist]

Good luck to Bolts! Here is hoping he can break the perception non AFL players can coach. I'd say recent examples show those who were brilliant players don't necessarily make excellent coaches.

 

[Ti22]

Well I can see he does not like Robbo much the look of distaste when Robbo was asking the questions was palatable.

 

[Hawkinspired]

Sad to see him go but he deserves the opportunity. He's the pick of the former assistants to serve under Clarkson. Was always going to be understated because he's never played in the AFL. Provided he is given adequate time you will look back on this moment like we (hawthorn fans) do with Alistair Clarkson.

Welcome Brendon. Who's a good little coach? You are aren't you? Yes you are, yes you are!

hightest.

[HBF]

Didn't realise he was only 36.

 

[Aphrodite]

 

[Ti22]

Nice forward thinking by us with no contract that's a good thing shows forward thinking.

 

[SBYM]

hahahahahhahaaa!!!

Those photos are totes awkward...

 

[ctacp]

Yeah agree but he still cant be in the opposition box in round 23 against us, If Ratts is not back on deck then the Hawks will need to make alternative arrangements.

Hird is available....

why not ? a good, first hand look at our list & how opposition coaches (one of if not the best in the business) goes about dissecting it. kinda like insider trading !

Last one ...........
