Coles was way more fun.


Yep, I switched off at half time. Pathetic.

I grocery shopped early and watched the second half, but not sure that was a better plan than yours.


Well at least I won something today... :lol:


Yes we bloody well did! 6 time Champions of Europe! Outright third now.

Kinda wondering if they genuinely care about winning.

I’m so confused by this club.

We trade our first pick and then seem to be writing the year off at round 11.



if that was genuinely BBs idea he should be shown the door this morning

I believe there are 3 Major Reasons why we are not winning games and not where we were hoping to be:


1- Too early for the young players to win Games: Our Young Players & the future of the club need 4-5 years in the system to start delivering consistency and winnable games. Those players include: Dow, Walsh, Cunningham, SPS, Fisher, O'Brien, Stocker, Curnow, McKay, Schumacher, Kerr & Polson.

2- Terrible Recruitment: We have recruited players who are not even worthy of a game VFL level, yet we have been forced to play them, hoping they can support the young ones whilst they develop. SOS has to take responsibility for the dismal and appalling recruiting of the following players:

** Alex Fosolo: What the hell were they thinking in recruiting a guy who is clearly past it? Collingwood dumped him to the VFL because they knew he was expired. He is injury prone and overweight, and looks way past it

** Darcy Lang: The Worst recruit ever. We got him based on One good game he played for Geelong. Nothing else.... Big body but does nothing with it. Terrible kicking and turnover king. Worst recruit ever

** Mathew Kennedy: We really were cheated with this Guy. No wonder GWS gave him away so easily. Same story as Lang. He is a regular injury prone player and when he is on the park, does nothing to support Cripps.

** J. Silvagni: I am sorry SOS but you need to get your sons away from our Club. They are useless as hell. Too slow, too predictable, no forward pressure and simply not up to AFL Standards

** Newman: Whilst he has been going OK in replacing the injured Doherty, we are now begging to see why Sydney were happy to let him go. He is a turnover King. Today, he killed us. Last week he killed us. Not good enough

** H.Macreadie: Injury prone, too skinny, too weak, and not even VFL Standards. What the hell were we thinking in recruiting him?

** Williamson: Rubbish....... Injury prone and is never going to make it........ We got cheated again

** Pickett: Was supposed to be the new Eddie Betts. No where near it.... Again, injury prone and has done nothing at the club so far....

** Lobe & Phillips: Average Ruckmen who will never be selected at any other AFL Club but Carlton. If Kreuzer goes down, We are shot to pieces.

** McGovern: I have said it from day one.... He is Rubbish....A Cameo player who will give you the mark of the year or give you one good game in a while, but he is not consistent, and Injuries will be his thing.

** Garlett: Rubbish pick.... Waste of time

** Add to that the aging of our senior players who can no longer be counted on to deliver: Murphy, Daisy, Simpson & Kreuzer.


3- The GWS Experiment: The Biggest Scam of SOS's venture at our Club. We all got cheated. We all got robbed. We all know by now that getting recycled players from GWS was not the answer. Players like Marchbank and Plowman are decent average footballers who will give it all, but they are not what we were looking for. We needed A Grade players to deliver weekly.


You must be a fun guy to be around....

He was going ok until he got to Williamson and Pickett. A player being 'injury prone' at AFL level is not necessarily the recruiters fault.

You could've given the honours to darcy lang

Same result


Gotta laugh :lol: :lol:

Lang doesn't want a senior spot as a forward.
...and he can't play elsewhere.

Thrashed by Essendon* and I don't even care. That's the worst thing of all.

True and I think you're being kind ...... it was way more than 4


You're both right!

Serious 101 stuff from junior footy.

Who the @#$%&! coaches these types of set ups?
Get rid of them. No idea.

Why do people keep crapping in about the number 1 pick ? Who cares about those. We ve had how many and what’s it fine for us ?
A decent coach who knows what he’s doing can get the best out of half decent players, and make them look good. This guy can’t even get the best out of top end talent.


Hey Dom, I'm starting to think along those lines.

That and the assistant and development coaches thereto support him.

It is disgrace. Nothing to do with age profile.

It's a lot of smaller things that compound to make a 7 goal loss.
Again, some umpiring at crucial moments doesn't help (deliberate oob, no 15): this is happening every week.
Missed set shots, plus those on the run (Fisher).
Not committing the body to take ball and player (Kennedy twice i saw).
Poor kicks (dow unfortunately again).
It sucks, and I'm losing confidence in Bolton. I think the players are losing confidence too (Newman) and soon they may be losing confidence in the coaches.
At the moment they are hanging in there in terms of effort but...
We were worse last year overall (considering lists and results) but we can't afford any further decline in results.

Fisher not going that well.
Stockers best game, especially first half looked comfortable and competitive.
Good to finally have Ed tagging a bit.
Charlie a bit improved since early in the year.
Levi decent down back.
Tough times.

I’m not sure BB realised that Heppell was an opposition player

Why was Simpson 'managed' after one game back?

Flew over for the game and could see that the players have no confidence in themselves , there team mates or the club . Only game I get to see live ( so disappointed ) . A comment was made by a fellow blues supporter to a bomber supporter , your shit but your still flogging us , seems to sum it up .
