Dear Mr Bolton. We as Carlton supporters love your enthusiasm your energy your commitment and your passion for the club.
But I just want to remind you although you are new on the scene we are not a new franchise. There has been talk of rebuild, reset new beginning and starting from scratch.
But this club is over 150 years old. We have four Number 1 draft picks and 2 number 2 plus a number 3 and close to 20 1st rounders.
Some of these have been in the system for 7,8,9 and even 10 years.
On average we are older than are opposition each week.
You might be new but the playing list is not.
Teach this flower how to flower win. They have been playing long enough now to know what its all about.
We are not GWS or GC with a team full of kids and a handful of old heads.
Use what you have to get them to win.
Little signs of improvement from player x or y is not acceptable . We don't want green shutes we want grown trees. Because cliches and antedol signs of improvement will only wash for so long
Now bloody well win
You're frustrated Sydney.
There's plenty of good signs, and the last 2 games you can blame all senior players. They are the ones fumbling and not leading the charge.
Game plan is fine. Ball isn't finding the mark.
Oh yeah...about those high draft picks....clearly they were not the best of breed for No 1's, 2's or 3's. We picked the wrong horses.
Judd Carrots Betts Waite Hendo and another dozen are gone..... all gone...it is a rebuild no matter how many high draft picks we have.
Half the team playing this year isn't going to make the first 22 of any of the top 10 teams....in fact its more than half of the team. Bolton knows that too.
If we can get execution right we can win a few. Bolton is right about the polish. We need to replace a lot of the list including thos high draftees. Gibbs and Kreuzer are not even top 20 picks imo...let alone others.
