Only problem was that drunken clod soapboxing at the end.

Observations:

1. Gibbs has been a much bigger loss that people are willing to admit.

2. We have an impotent mid-field.

3. No one is capable of helping Cripps.

4. We have no spread and run on the outside.

5. We have no plan B or C.

6. Decision Making is horrendous.

7. I am still hopeful Bolton will bring this all together ... but from the outside it looks like he has lost the players.

8. We should never have got rid of Ratten.

9. Donald Trump is unhinged.

All hands on deck trying to defend the indefensible.
Liddle , Mackay , Walls , Juddy and now MLG.
They stuffed up and now they are scrambling

Bolton has failed the players, it's that easy.
There is no system, no team work, no love, no work ethic and mass confusion.
They don't know who or how to defend and have no focal points going forward.
The players are been treated like robots and it has drained all their enthusiasm from the game.
Bolton needs to throw out this bull~!@#$ game plan and go back to basics, nothing else will work and all the metaphors in the world won't save this year and even cause serious damage to the future.


I'm not alone, nor stating anything new here. I was against appointing a coach with no prior AFL playing or coaching history (excluding Hawthorn work experience stints).
The task at hand needed a proven, successful coach, with experience not just at AFL level, but experience in building a team from scratch.
As nice a bloke as BB is, and for all his efforts, he cannot coach at this level. After 48 games I've seen enough.
More concerning than actual losses is the impact of these losses, lack of leadership and functional game plane on the development of draftees from the last 3 years.

I'd like to know why they stuck with Bruce as defensive line coach after Docherty went down. Take your two best playmakers out, and you're left largely with a group mostly under 50 games experience each. Unfair to both the new bloke at the club and the backline group to try and make do with each other, despite a lack of unfamiliarity. Surely it would have been prudent to give an incumbent assistant the role for the year (Barker for arguments sake) and review later in the year?

Now left with two senior assistants clearly hunting a senior coaching position elsewhere given far too much leeway to do what they've had success with elsewhere, and a not-so-senior coach without the necessary tenure or club backing to do as his job suggests.


Who knows from the outside? But I too am far more concerned with our Defensive coach than I am with Bolton. Because despite the tinkering with ball movement and injuries, we've gone from a strong defensive unit to a broken one. Presumably Bruce has to carry some responsibility. Both Jones and Weitering look lost out there as well.

What do you expext when we have Tom Williamson, Sam Docherty, Caleb Marchbank, Alex Silvagni and Ciaran Byrne all on the sidelines.

Spot on Trigger.

I think the media and anyone else who doesn't have our best interests at heart should just STFU and leave us alone.

Read that article in the Hun today by Chris Cavanagh.

Good to see he did his research.
