It is v difficult to be sure about whether we have the right coach at the moment.
I believe we do but need a bit more time.
And it is also v difficult to identify who would be better. Even a proven coach may sail in with nothing to prove and not perform the same (Malthouse).
Or we could land the super coach only to discover that his way is not as effective with different cattle or his time has passed (Pagan).
Or he could be a genius one year and then questions arise over the next couple (Beverage).
Clarkson was on v shaky ground before 2008 and then again c2009/2010/2011. Kennett even wrote him off at the beginning of his Premiership year 2013.
Buckley & Hardwick would never have survived this long at Carlton.
Like Clarkson c2006, Bolton still has a fair bit to learn.
We have to be patient, there is no real alternative at the moment.
Essendon** & Port Adelaide we’re lauded for their trading which was supposed to put them in the Premiership frame. How’s that going?
Meanwhile, West Coast’s Simpson was under as much pressure as anyone just 2 months ago now looks like a genius.
We must hold our nerve and not get sucked in (even after we beat Essendon** this week).

Bolton is a first time coach so the bright side is that he (like the team) can grow. There have been some questions about some of his decisions and versatility but he has shown lately that he is willing to divert from some of his original structures. Last week he did up to a point stem the bleeding by going one on one for a while (a little too late but he did adjust).
This week will be interesting with Casboult out and i am looking forward to the game style and team selection.
