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

And many would consider this to be overly positive!!


Interesting.

Coz we are still craving for a couple mids to support Cripps.

I hope Jack surprises to be a solid mid, albeit by accident.

Walsh was ours because we had the No.1 Draft pick.
There's a few ahead of Sammo who were taken later in the 2016 draft. He's shown plenty in the midfieldand HBF, but had a mare of a start last week.
Fisher's a good second rounder and with a bit of muscle creates the a similar body as Billy Slater, if not, I hope he's nearly as good a little skinny Gary Wilson.
Dow is a bonafide mid who hasn't put enough muscle on and I believe its fatigue which has hampered his kicking ability. If not, then the fitness staff can't be blamed, yet. and the development coaches are failing. I believe Dow will make the grade this year.

Not getting Coniglio was huge for this club

Not the answer to all our woes but set us back 2 years

If the second tier of players like Dow, Fischer & Setterfield etc don’t come in then I am afraid another rebuild could be upon us sooner than expected. Particularly if we lose Cripps.

He had to made an offer he couldn't refuse.

Our TPP and list management should have been made flexible to accomodate a massive offer.

Nearly as good as Gary Wilson?

No disrespect to Fish but I'd take half as good.

Wilson was an out and out superstar of the comp.

14 games 7-7 and, bar round 23 last year, extremely competitive in every game even if some were frustrating like last week.

Teague was having a good chat with Russell there at the end. We've got 3 quarters of high pressure footy in us per game at the moment. Hopefully we can build a fourth quarter in sooner rather than later.

What was apparent was that our connection into F50 was better than it's been in a long time. Would have been better to see the structures live but there clearly was/is some method to the way we used the ball.

I’ll withhold judgement until I know what Colourman has told the CEO to think.

Still think Colourman's comments re midfield are valid. Besides standout #1 pick Walsh what other mids drafted by Silvagni have gone on to become very good players? Lots of question marks over the young mids, and still an overreliance on Cripps.

Pretty much Cripps or bust.

This.
Add to it that they weren't tripping over each other. McKay led to the left footer side and Levi to the other. McGovern fitted in. They looked organised and confident. The mids looked for them a lot more instead of just bombing it in where half the time Levi and Harry go for the same ball.
