I feel player development is our biggest issue, which stems from the coaching staff. Why can't we get some IP from the Sydney swans as theirs is probably the best in the land, judging by the players that come through?

Our team selections are shit

Our skills arent improving

Our game tactics are questionable

Simple things like having every player up in a marking contest with nobody staying down continues to happen all the time

Continue to see all players sucked in too deep at congestion so we get killed on the outside.

Its the same stuff over and over again

We aren't improving as a unit and any improvement we may see is due to an injection of better naturally talented players.

yeah its early days but i'm not liking what i'm seeing.


Yep,the rumours are already starting that he shits a lot of players up the wall..Unfortunately it is true........................reckon they should shut the eff up and concentrate on there own shit games.Have a look at 'emselves instead of scapegoating the coach for there own pathetic efforts.

Nothing wrong with the presser....
Not worried about the things we can't see behind the scenes..
BUT very concerned about the stuff we can see..
Agree with grofunger..
Team slections
Tactics
Setups at stop plays
Set plays
Tags
Blocks and shepherds.. My pet hate... Non existent in our team... No wonder most of out disposals are under pressure
Pace, lacking

I only judge on what I see... Not rumours and crap. Must say, I haven't seen improvement except some Setups last year, mind you, they were lacking last week.
I'm still happy to wait and see.... But I do want to see this stuff as I don't believe the above comes with 'experience'

We should be OK because he's not an out of touch premiership coach.

I'd just like to see him try something like E.Curnow in the back pocket as a shutdown defender and thus allowing Docherty further up. Perfect time with no small defenders in the team......something !

Well said. It's not as if the players have been delivering. A coach can only do so much then it is up to the players. We have some coach killers in our side with their poor decision making and skills.

Sure. How about the coach stops playing these players then. It's not like we haven't turned the list over to not have this excuse any longer!

I've had concerns about all our recent coaching hires from Brittain onwards with the exception of Bolton who has so quickly changed the club's idea of itself that I'm an instant fan. That said, if there's no major progress after three years I'll be joining the throng.

It's the most important role in the club and rebooting a basket case is going to take time.

Hmmm, common sense.


A coach gives a press conference and supports his player(s); hardly surprising.

So far nobody has provided any evidence that the players are unhappy. In every football club, there are going to be some who dislike a coach's methods, and I'm sure there would have been players at Hawthorn who wouldn't like the way Clarkson goes about his trade. To my knowledge, none of us knows what is happening with Bolton and the players, except for the occasional tidbits the club publishes on the website.

Maybe Bolton is a crap coach, but unless someone here is part of the inner sanctum, I'm certain they don't know either way.

yep, let's hope the club can stay the course this time. in the back of my mind i worry that some of the sentiment in this thread will grow and the club will yet again buckle...

I already expect changes for next week. If you read effes reports on the NB match there are some good things going on.


That is if Daisy is not contractually bound to play seniors that is.

this negativity towards Bolton was always bound to happen

however, the club has signed up to a long term overhaul and we supporters need to accept this

I don't agree in blind faith but what did we expect in the short term with our shambolic list

As Parkin stated we are years away from true success (with no guarantees)

No other choice but to suck it up and continue supporting the club

Not convinced on the need to have played AFL in order to be a successful AFL coach. My contacts in Tasmania tell me that Bolton was very successful as a player and coach at the highest level there. His size would have prevented him from pursuing an AFL playing career but his intelligence and man management were always a strength. Proven performer at Box Hill and Hawthorn. Those allegedly disenchanted players need to harden up.
