Bolton: Freo was in reasonable nick from last week and jumped us from the start. Our response was too slow.
Bolton: It could have got quite messy, but to our players' credit they fought back in the second half.
Bolton: We couldn't lock the ball in our forward half. Our pressure wasn't up to standard.
Bolton: Leadership is a work in progress. We're missing leaders like Docherty, Murphy and Alex Silvagni, but that provides leadership opportunities for others.
Bolton: Playing consistently at a high level is a learned behaviour. That's what we have to aim towards.
Bolton: We don't accept losing, but our age profile has dropped significantly this season and we have many injuries. We'll fight through it.
All fair points.
Good to read a few doubters at TC backing up and continue to raise questions about [ name] .
THat's fair enough too.
I couldn't understand why there isn't any run.
With run there's fluidity, and then the game plan tactics open up whilst moving quickly forward.
The element of surprise kicks in.
I have a problem with what I saw tonight.
Docherty, Murphy, Marchbank, Pickett, Byrne, Williamson, maybe ASilvagni and Macreadie missing.
No big excuse IMO.
Jack Silvagni keeps me smiling.
Simmo, you are Blueblood thru are thru.
Sammo....best game for mine, but still a lot of improvement expected.
I think all the rest have to ask themselves how much game time they played to win.
I don't think any of the rest played above themselves or at their near their best for more than a half of footy.
Really disappointing.
