Bolton has had three years now to learn something about game day coaching as teh key decision maker - next year the gloves will be off regarding his glaring inability to counter basic opposition coach moves. No accident to see how poorly Carlton has performed as far as game day moves go with Neil gone. If barker is an answer to Craig leaving - someone needs a smack.
Just shows that BB did not learn too much in his time there. To make matters worse, we helped them recruit Mitchell by doing a deal that helped them.We should have traded Murphy when we moved Gibbs on. Don't see the value of retaining him demonstrating limited leadership. Would have loved to pick up a second rounder for him. He has become one of those players who rack up possessions without making an impact. I don't buy the loyalty argument. If its true that his manager shopped him only to find out offer significantly higher, I see no reason why we shouldn't shop him around. His body can't take the rigours of playing as an onballer and he has been less than convincing as a small forward so I don't see a future role for him. If we are to move forward as a club we need to be more cutthroat and put the clubs interests ahead of its players. You have to admire Clarkson for moving on Lewis and Mitchell. Its what sets Hawthorn apart from other clubs.

Just on the ruck situation....I reckon it might be time to plan for life after Kruez.Amen brother. Seen enough, not upto it. Whilst the likes of Kennedy form crucial on ball structure, we are going nowhere. Need to fast track Paddy and hope we can pick up 2 gun midfielders in the draft. We are going to desperately need a quality ruck man to cover or possibly replace Kreuzer. The journey men we have relied upon will no longer cut it.
Pruess - yes pleaseJust on the ruck situation....I reckon it might be time to plan for life after Kruez.
Can we somehow make a play for Pruess?
I can't see Norf giving him to us. No doubt he can play at VFL level, but can he take the next step.Pruess - yes please
Did alright last year from memory. Then Goldy came back. Liked his aggression.I can't see Norf giving him to us. No doubt he can play at VFL level, but can he take the next step.
One team player.We should move Kreuzer on if we can find a decent offer for him this offseason.
I’ve always loved big Kreuze and hate how injury and the teams success has heavily impacted his career but I think it’s time we moved on.
Unfortunately he’s too unreliable in my opinion and he’s not exactly young anymore.
Glad this is the unpopular thread.Pruess - yes please

Not keen on Preuss at all as we have bigger holes to fill and Lobbe and Phillips are arguably as capable as Preuss in the ruck and around the ground. Plus we have Casboult who could be trained to Ruck now that harry and Charlie are blooded.
Norfs going much better with Goldy than Preuss - as he has not played one game this year, and Preuss is contracted till 2020 so will not come cheap.
Yuk!
You know we did draft a young ruckman at pick 30 last year and looks impressive at this early stage .Phillips can't stay on the park, Lobbe is 30 next year and Cas is a liability once the ball hits the ground. We desperately need a young ruckman. Preuss is the perfect fit.
We need more than one ready made ruckman. If Kreuz can't play again, that leaves Lobbe and Phillips. TDK ain't ready to shoulder the responsibility.You know we did draft a young ruckman at pick 30 last year and looks impressive at this early stage .
Lobbe was very impressive yesterday if he plays like that the job is his next year if Kruez doesnt come up .
Lobbe and Phillips have had their injury issues granted .We need more than one ready made ruckman. If Kreuz can't play again, that leaves Lobbe and Phillips. TDK ain't ready to shoulder the responsibility.
Would they have beaten Freo?Subiaco would have beaten us yesterday.
Nope.Would they have beaten Freo?
