Just had a first look at Bolton's first post-match presser.

Is this the happiest guy in the world? I know absolutely nothing about Bolton apart from snippets I've read on here. Really strange press conference - but I liked it.

Mr optimism.

Will be really interesting to see how he goes in the hotseat with Clarko out for a little while at least.

Yep seems like a half-glass-full type and sometimes these personalities can be misconstrued as trying to hard.
He must know his stuff though and shows real passion and commitment to help others. It explains why he has reached the position he has without playing in the AFL.

 

[Max Powers]

Looks so excited to be a coach, was a really different press conference but had me smiling after i watched it.
From Sewells press conference today sounds like he is a enthusiastic happy optimistic kind of guy.

Agree, but thought the repeated questions about Clarko and what he'd be thinking we're a little rude. FFS ask about the game or about his story (as it's fairly unknown) not about what he thought Clarko might have thought!

 

[bungholes_premiers]

he reminds me of the guy in Something about Mary - the one that feigns the back/leg/walking problems and is real dweeby just to get the chick
lol

 

[Porkmason]

Love his enthusiasm. He's like the AntiRoss.

Ha ha Lee Evans, funny enough when I watched it yesterday I thought the exact same thing!

He should be happy, has the best win ratio in the competition.

Just on Fox's press conference, had to laugh when the jurno asked him would Clarko come bank via Box Hill. Cracked Sewelly up too.

Brendan Bolton was Norm in Something About Mary

These types of coaching personalities rarely make it.

2005 Roos 2006 Worsfold 2007 Thompson 2008 Clarkson 2009 Thompson 2010 Malthouse 2011 Scott 2012 Longmire 2013 Clarkson

Wouldn't call any of the above super optimists.

[Rioli magic]

Would certainly shorten the interview process.


Are you optimistic about the team's prospects?

Yes.

Obviously can't coach, next.

 

[Hawkforce]

Love it - first time a coach has been waiting for more questions in a presser and the journos have cut things short!

This industry will want to crush such enthusiasm. I hope the players do Brendan the justice his time at Box Hill deserves.

Hahaha I said the same thing to my wife after watching him on 360 the other day

Yeah - we're doomed. Too much positivity.......

 

[threesixpio]

Has anyone thought that a positive face running the club might be what we need? It has been a tough time recently

 

[Agent Smith]

No... must... have... more... negativity...

 

[Great 2008]

I thought it was the best presser I have seen this year..... and from a 1 gamer. Straight onto the front foot. Loved it.

 

[Taskmaster]

I loved it, well done Bolts. Keep the wins coming mate.

Speaking of positives............. do you ever have any?

[Leather Poisoning]

Interested to see how he handles a lot - but I thubk he's a ripper.

 

[Hawker55]

He coached a couple of mates of mine at Clarence. Players loved him - honest and not afraid to give out a spray if needed.

 

[The GOAT]

Nice to hear, I think he'll do well for the next few weeks

This is exactly what I want to hear! If he is Mr Nice guy to the media and fans then that's great, however if he is that competitive beast that we know Clarko is and the type we all love then that's fantastic and I'm excited for what he can bring to the footy club. The whole Bolton in charge may bite us in the bum, we could have a great succession plan in place for this little man to take over from Clarko and his performances this year may just get him a senior gig at another club. Good luck little man.
