Carlton have sacked Bolton - Press conference at 2.15pm

[Rodney Dangerfield]

The only reason they traded their first pick is due to him being a shit coach. They got stooged, why wouldn’t you trade it out based on how their recent top picks are going?
That’s on Bolton for overseeing development.
They had no confidence in how that pick would be developed so traded it.

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

We should get fevola. at least we won't need new name tags

The Carlton Football Club is like the lower intestine of a Jabba the Hut type organism that digests coaches and craps out their hapless empty husks

They literally have no idea what they are doing from top to bottom and it's just coach after coach, top draft pick after top draft pick down the gurgler

the bowel of Jabba is the serial carlton big footy posters and the evil

Fat Guts - “Oh but you should see him kick on the left foot...that Ballarat wind just wasn’t doing him any favours”

Yes! SOS gave him a bag of lollies to keep him compliant, just watch the vid!

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Looks like those green shoots just got salt poured all over them

 

[Neese]

Who the hell can they bring into coach that will do any better?
Should of given him this season and seen what transpired in 2020.
They've pulled trigger too early IMO.

This
I am gutted

 

[skipper kelly]

And walk out the door...

He needs to stand up and take the reins so SOS, Walls and others can spend 3 months looking at power point presentations of 5 year rebuilding plans.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Since round 14, 2017, Carlton has won 4 games out of 43.

Simply amazing.

And yet still people are saying they have done the wrong thing. How the **** can you push on doing the same thing with those numbers?

 

[Milanista28]

He is nowhere the dud everyone thinks he is. Been pretty good since coming back in to the team.

Played out of position as well, Should be a rebounding 3rd tall defender.

 

[RAPPA]

Remove all former Carlton players from managerial, coaching and administrative positions, and then they can be assessed through an objective lens

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Wouldn’t we trade it for a mature player and not an extra first rounder if that was the case?

 

[tugga]

Who would he replace in your mob?

Nobody I would hope.

Name a current player in the 22 from a rookie selection or late pick.
Bolton shoved under the bus to save SOS

Casboult just off the top of my head

 

[mcgarnacle]

Biggest fraud in AFL football today.
But the Carlton faithful adore him like a deity.
Nothing repeat nothing will change until Teflon sos is turfed and Carlton ACTUALLY stop with the boys club mentality properly instead of just paying lip service

Absolute joke of an organisation

don't know what you're talking about. look at all the young guns in brought in to GWS under his watch. that was tough job, he only had 30 first round picks to play with

 

[M Malice]

Go Home Factor? Brett Ratten?

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

Looks like those green shoots just got salt poured all over them

you misread the headline, they've just removed the salt

 

[nut]

Nobody I would hope.

Casboult just off the top of my head

Can’t kick

Been a firm defender of Bolts up until this season. I think the NM loss was where things turned. It's obvious that the players have completely lost interest and effort. I reckon there is some A-grade talent on this list - and I hope whoever ends up with the job is the guy who can get the best out of them. Crippa, Weitering, McKay, Charlie, Jonesy...all really talented guys. I don't know where this club goes from here, but I think it's a call that had to be made, and it's a call that needs to get through to some guys. Yes the list isn't perfect and yes there is some dead weight, but what's been concerning about these losses has been the total apathy and lack of effort showed by players who should be "the future" for the club.

If things only turned for you after the North loss I dare say you are slow on the uptake, or hen pecked into line by the Carlton board lurkers.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Wouldn’t we trade it for a mature player and not an extra first rounder if that was the case?

You’d think so but clearly they have no confidence in what they’ve been doing and second guessed themselves instead of backing in recruiting and coaching.
It’s not just Bolton don’t get me wrong but you have to start somewhere.

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

don't know what you're talking about. look at all the young guns in brought in to GWS under his watch. that was tough job, he only had 30 first round picks to play with

anyone could have made a great list with those picks except the gold coast list manager it seems...

 

[76woodenspooners]

You can dress up a turd but it is still a turd, you sacked Malthouse you can save your pr crap.

If - as you say - Collingwood sacked him ...

... then how did he end up bound by a non-compete clause that prevented him from being a senior coach during the 2012 season?

 

[Jobe Watson]

Lots of Hird about SOS.

Prodigal son effect allows him to get away with **** that would've resulted in anyone else getting fired long ago. Trading the #1 pick for Liam Stocker, among a host of other Gpd-awful list decisions Absolute disaster.

 

[95bluemember]

if SOS has any credibility left he would resign, and I loved watching SOS as a player.

 

[Satan]

Roos ??

 

[Bunk Moreland]

So how does this work? Everything was on track... they’ve had 11 poor games, and they’ve fired the bullet?

 

[The_Historian]

Sadly, the club will go backwards for atleast 2 years with a new coach until the players adapt to the new plan.
I think the club will become a modern day University.
The best thing the club could of done was hand in the keys back to the AFL 15 years ago, when it was floated by the board.

 

[ferrisb]

Everyone: Carlton need to sack Bolton. He never played AFL, he only got the job because of his wins as Hawthorn caretaker and he's got the worst coaching record ever.

Carlton: Sacks Bolton

Everyone: Haha! Carlton loves sacking coaches, they can't help themselves. Can't believe they sacked him! Idiots.

We can't win (literally OR figuratively).
