IMO we judge on wins when the clubs No.1 focus is wins.
It's always an important stat if used in perspective.

You're a good person to ask, is there ever a hint of over training and mental exhaustion at the club? Essentially training too hard?The Win/Loss thing is just dumb. No other word for it.
What if we have another shocking run with injury. Then we need to know why, if we did, even with Russell, the likely culprit would be over training.
What is we lose 10 games by under 5 points? Gotta ask why again. Why can't we finish off games? No composure? Lacking fitness?
What if internally we are looking at development over wins?
How do you measure development. Eventually it is measured in wins... Eventually.
What if Russell said I need to manage this group for 12 months before getting results?
Has he?
What if Cripps gets injured?
**** off
So many variables and a lot we don't know. Just Dumb

Considering we only won 2 games last year, this expectation of quadroupling that tally as the only true measure of growth is a little bit of setting the bar to impossible.
We were an uncompetitive rabble most of last year. Definitely have improved as far as that indicator goes.
Bolton hasn't lost the players, so giving him the flick because of external pressure may cost us a couple players as well.

Judd said it on Footy Classified last year
Did he? LAST YEAR
? What did he actually say?That if Bolton doesn't win 5-6 games in 2019 he will be sacked?
He said wins and losses are not a major factor for the coach in 2018 but they will be in 2019... Which is what anybody with any sense of realism would say

Eh that was just a cheeky bit of fun. My real reason for quoting you was the question that remains unanswered which I left at the bottom of the post.
Not that I'm aware. Only comments I've had is it's really stepped up and is individualised more than before. Players feel better and fitter. Certainly look it

That if Bolton doesn't win 5-6 games in 2019 he will be sacked?
If we don't win a game do you think Bolton will be safe? Even if hypothetically Cripps misses the rest of the season?
I too am expecting about 8 to 10 wins by end 2019 campaign, once starting 22 are calibrated over next 4 to 6 weeks, it will be a gradual implementation.
After the Bye Rd 15 onwards we'll be more optimistic and positive, patience.

I'm looking but can't find it. Only thing I can find is Judd saying we want to win every week but Bolton wasn't mentioned. How a comment in 2018 is relevant to now is strange?
I'm thinking if things go okay anywhere between 5-8. Just so hard to put numbers on it yet. Too many variables and we will be inconsistent

Didn't the club undertake the review that saw the medical team overhauled, Russell brought in and The coaching staff getting Walls to mentor/do Neil Craig's role?

What's important is the game plan. Look at Gold Coast they have the least talented list in the AFL but have won two games why? Because the coach has kept the game plan simple. Perhaps this complicated game plan has not been understood by the team. Why not just tell the players to go out there any play on instinct and man on man? Showcase their talent. What the worst that could happen?

So the clubs no 1 focus is not to win???
Agreed. Gold Coast have played well as a team. We will need to play a good four quarters to beat them. We need this one right now.
Who said we have a complicated game plan?
That last comment shows a real lack of understanding of modern football. It would be a disaster
Except priority pick era late in season when you on borderline between 5 wins or one more....
Thank God that rule has been removed. The stupid rehashing of Connolly and Demon stuff just annoying considering that ruling is thankfully gone.
I'm gobsmacked you believe anyone has actually said that. NO ONE has said it doesn't matter

Isn't that obvious? Then the no 1 focus is setting up an environment that can sustain a long period of wins. Question is when do we transition.
?
Careful with the wording. I said it isn't their No.1 focus, NOT their No.1 focus NOT to win

Soapy you keep saying you'll judge Bolton on wins and losses when they are a priority. When are they not a priority?
