Remember the debate around drafting Charlie between SOS and Brendon.
No.
Because there was none....
There was a debate about Cunningham and Dunkley...
There was a debate about Macreadie and Graham...
There was a debate about LOB and Richards....
There was many, many other debates,SOS won them all!
They weren’t really debates...
One of things Bolton bitterly complained about on his way out to Liddle, was not being provided enough mids, and a list manager not being interested in his requirements. It’s why our list has so many holes!!
It’s why SOS was sacked, nothing to do with his boys....
Rubbish!! You post is typical of pointing the finger and redirection - ala CFC board and management.
The plan was set out and everyone agreed to the implementation unfortunately when it failed, as it was going too, the gun was pointed at SoS to buy more time. Gutless, two faced individuals.
There was a debate between Bolton and SoS regarding Charlie and his antics including the late drink drive implosion!! if you listen to a predraft discussion closely, you might even pick it with SoS backing in Charlie (even though the kid isn't named).
Anyway, Bolton complained about no experienced midfielders but he was all in on the plan from the outset and knew why we weren't able to get any through the door. He didn't like that we failed to land a experienced midfielder and was frustrated but who wasn't? Problem was every midfielder we went after, we didn't get, because of our
on field progress. Bolton needed to redirect to try and save his job and did.
Your post is laughable... I have no love for the CFC board/management who allowed one person total control to flower up our list.
SOS’s first trade/draft period raised that many red flags that I spent an hour raising my concerns with the CEO.. we kept in contact because my concerns were considered valid... once the CEO started asking questions about the list he was shown the door by SOS’s best mate... the new CEO blindly accepted that our list was brilliant (as presented to him by SOS) until he was presented evidence/analysis to the contrary... it took our new CEO 12 months to remove SOS because he was terrible.... and even SOS’s best mate, the prez and the board couldn’t save him because the evidence was so overwhelming!
Just some facts for you, Bolton supported the drafting of Curnow.... Bolton complained about many, many things...
At this stage, in 5 trade periods/drafts/rookie drafts, we have added 4 mids of any substance... Walsh, Samo, Fisher and Dow
