Nothing too complex about football, it isn't rocket science.

Rowe should have gone directly into the ruck when Kruezer went down.
He was useless back and we had cover for him with Jones, Marchbank and SOJ. We waited until the last for that move. Not good enough from our coaches.

The fact all these players are recommitting to the Club tells you all you need to know about what the players themselves really think of Bolts and how much they’ve bought into his plan.
End of arguement.

And I'd like to add to this and say, were you all happy with how the team was progressing last year? And if so, what has changed since then? Here's a clue.....it's not the coaching!

Bing Bing Bing....that's right.....injuries and no Gibbs (who most of you kept saying how crap he was for us).

And no Neil Craig

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

It's not... our list is putrid.

Go through every player on the list

And it's severely unbalanced

No clue!

2 wins in 26 games. No structure, no clue out there, poor game plan, players going backwards. That's coaching. It's not anything else. There's alot of good young players on that list. Drafting has been good. Development poor. No list should win 2 from 26.

Bolton is not the man for job. Those who accept 2 win from 26 embrace mediocity.

Brilliant!

It was probably one of the best post Ive seen
Loved it and haven't stopped laughing

it makes sense ... only that there was an interview earlier in the week about why mcKay missed the brisbane game and that was because the powers that be declared they don't want him in the ruck, just as a forward.

so, again ... the club is all over the place, huh?

haha. shit. Cripps needs to recommit before you start singing that song.

... last year the players were visibly buying into what bolton was selling. they were playing tough and hard at the ball and they never rolled over for any game outside the port game in adelaide.

this year, they've stopped running, stopped tackling and basically stopped playing with any kind of effort. players - stud draft picks - are regressing right before our eyes. but you know it's there and that they can all play. they turned up against Essendon*, pies and sydney. proving that injuries don't effect or reflect on effort.

right now; we are playing with less effort and less commitment than at any stage under malthouse. if the coach isn't getting the effort out of players each and every week as a minimum baseline criteria ... the coach hasta go.

I find it amusing that sometimes we get excited about players resigning.
I have done it myself.
But when you stand back and think of it these players are running out and getting belted by 10 goals by teams at the bottom.
Why would you want to keep them

I'm sure they don't want Jed Lamb and Matt Shaw playing defence either but circumstances force changes we'd rather not see.
McKay was selected as a forward/second ruck. I didn't read your posts on Thursday slagging the coaches for "inexplicably" putting McKay in the ruck then.

Yet after we lose, it's an opportunity to slag the coaches. With no validity whatsoever.
If you didn't know McKay was selected as receiving ruckman, you should question your own understanding of the game, not Boltons.

*groan

bolton and the vet both said after the brisbane game, they don't want mcKay playing 2nd ruck which is why he never got a start up there ... based on that logic; on friday night the plan must have been to play kruezer there the whole game??

rowe and jones are expendable spuds. why weren't they in the ruck sooner?

and that's fine and all if you want come up with (wrong) excuses about McKay in the ruck on friday night. but please explain and defend bolton's decision to run our two greatest assets in the ruck before mcKay was put there (charles & Patrick)?


serious question; do you work at the club? you sound like the iraqi minister of defence. trying to bullshit us that things aren't so bad and the club is in pretty good shape, we just need Doc back and all will be apples.

No I don't work at the club. In fact, I've been as critical of them in the past as anyone.
There's plenty of things to be critical of the club for. Fabricating them so you can grandstand isn't required.

For years, unless we play 2 ruckmen, the tall forward relieves in the ruck. McKay has filled that role previously and will again. The moment he was chosen as a tall forward at selection, he was always going to play receiving ruck role.
3 days later, you slag the club for "inexplicably" putting him in the ruck and risking his ACL.

Was it really "inexplicable" or are you just coming up with bullshit to kick the coaches? Let's be honest, all facts point to the latter.

it was 100% inexplicable in light of the vet and bolton saying just this week they don't want to risk Harry in the ruck due to his limited preseason. they only want him playing forward.


what about that, is so hard for you to comprehend?




maybe we took the richmond approach and went into the game with one ruck who was expected (and can) play the entire game in the middle?

i mean since the headcoach said just this week he doesn't want to risk Harry in the ruck.

and my point about it being inexplicable was the use of charlie and cripps there as well.

but you conveniently cherry pick that info out of my original post. but carry on ...
