Syd, he's comparing our history which was mostly pre salary cap and draft

Were the Dogs playing with belief last week when they lost by 9 goals? What about Round 1 when they lost by 82 points?

i don't believe we should be talking about bolton here in this instance. because he never should have been appointed head coach.

zero days in the afl as a player; is a sticking point i cannot get past. how can you teach kids to win and to 'stick fat', when you've never actually done that for yourself?


... and if people think that doesn't enter these kids heads at some point, you are terribly naive or haven't played.

bolton is an excellent communicator, and motivator. but he's not a gameday coach and he doesn't warrant respect from the group bcos he hasn't been there and done that.

Seriously, do you have any emotional intelligence?
You are being ridiculed by all and sundry on this site and continue to defend like a prisoner on death row at 11:59pm

Yes, I'm pissed off as well and yes, I'm concerned about this year and the quality of players we've brought in and maybe I'm getting a bit shaky about Bolton's capacity but FFS, where do you get off wasting space with extrapolative bombast like the one I highlighted above?

Didn't build any foundations. Peaked as an Elimination Final side. Who wants to come 8th?

As for a worse group?
Players that had played 70+ games from 2009.

Club is paying the price for abysmal drafting and trading for the years up to 2015. Lenny Hayes once said you don't really feel like you've fully established yourself as an AFL footballer until the 70 game mark.

Our core side should have been built on players that were taken in the 2008-2014 off seasons.

These are the guys who win you games. Forget all the "we had an older team than 'x' nonsense that gets trotted out when we lose. These numbers are skewed but the fact that our senior core is always inferior to the oppositions.

Until the 2015-2017 draft crop get more games under their belt, we get some players back from injury, and the club starts using trade week for the now rather than the future than all this speculation on the coach is all hot air...

Yes, going to experienced coaches has been great for us the past 20 years, hasn't it?

Nice try. You and Sydney are the ones doing lots of talking about Bolton.
What should he have done differently that would have improved the situation.
Any nuffy can highlight problems. Give us some solutions. Tell us what he should have done differently.

I have been concerned for sometime about the players/coaches inability to improve disposals. I think it was the Geelong mantra to touch the ball at least 300 tines in training every day. Looking at Mic’d up they are playing F@$&ing soccer. Before everybody piles on about diversity ect in training that’s fine but get he absulute basics in place first. Train the bloody kicking and handballs until their feet fall off

Sorry Bolts, last nights game against the doggies proved that you’re a good assistant coach, and unfortunately a poor senior coach. Luke Beveridge has in three years won a premiership and installed a game plan which the entire squad play to.

Youth was no excuse for them, they had more players with less than 10 games playing, and their average age was lower than ours.

Beveridge demands compliance to his plan, Bolts asks for patience. In three years the only style of game we remotely play is numbers behind the footy so we don’t get scored heavily against. At this level, that’s not an adequate plan. To be truthful i’m A little embarrassed that we are asking out team to play an under 10’s kick and hope style of play.

We need to make a change, see if one our assistance can take over and ask Bolts to become the development coach. We need to see if we can land a Clarkson type, who is innovative but more importantly understands how to set a game play structure throughout the entire playing list.

No. They played like a team with an average age of just 23 - there'll be up and downs - which all of us can handle. We have won 1 game in 15.

Try not turning over 14 players a year
Develop proper drills and game plans instead of going on Boy Scout camps to Tassie
Stop telling them it is ok lose.
Draft in bigger bodies with finals experience to teach and protect the bodies of young developing players.

There are a few things I would have done differently.

By the time these players get to the age where they are mature enough their bodies will be battered .

Their last 30 games are nothing compared to the Premiership year.

They are a young side - no doubt - but again this "younger than us" stat is skewed by the fact that Simpson and Thomas bump the average high, and it's about the quality of the senior players and our lack of experienced, quality midfielders.

Again..

Players last night with 70+ games.

Suckling
Daulhaus
Wood
Wallis
Hunter
Crozier
Macrae
Bontempelli
Johannisen

vs

Simpson
Thomas
Wright
Curnow
Jones
Casboult
Mullet
OShea
Rowe

Which group would you take?, and how many are midfielders in each list?

Charlie kicks a sitter we are within 10 points, yet one coach is genius and the other a development coach...
