Maybe get Bolts to stand on a milk crate?

Jones took 10 intercept marks. Equal most with Tahlia. I think that’s the most for the season or even equal most taken period

Go talk to Simon Goodwin about stats .Melbourne smashed Port in every aspect of football and lost
Imagine if Jones had taken all those marks in the forward 50

And do you think Rowe would have taken those marks down back and prevented those goals?

Melb V Port stats are irrelevant to this discussion. Jones took them Rowe probably not

Very little. SOS gets a pass mark, as our last few drafts, he's killed it. he's probably gone too far with the list, getting rid of players like boek, buckley etc and bringing in utter deadweights like mullet and oh-no, which brings his mark down a little.

other than that, maybe sav rocca for giving Levi some hope with his set shots.

the rest is dire.

Bolton is in a results driven business, and no one alive thought we'd be 1-12 with a percentage hovering around 60%. more than the figures, it's the eye test week-to-week where bolton is failing. our effort this year has been down on last year's. there's games where we haven't turned up. parlay that with the poor structural tactics in the first quarter of the season where our defence was guarding grass instead of men. and it's been bad.

the board. Letting neil craig go without a ready-made replacement was a big mistake. perhaps the biggest mistake of this season so far.

same with the Trigg deal. no one is still really sure why Trigg was let go, but so far Liddle has been invisible.

our development. several key players have been down this season. weitering the most obvious.

our medical team. not sure what the stats are as of right now, but last time i checked cfc had more injured players through re-injury than any other club in the league. anecdotally, i feel like we've led the league in this since the early 2000's. at some point our injuries cannot be regarded as all bad luck, but bad management, yeah?

GWS average age was under 22 years in their 1st year and we have so far won one less game.

Not necessarily.
Your argument is overly simplistic. You can't blame Docherty's knee on bad management or Pickett's broken wrist.

I for one blame Docherty's knee on Pickett's broken wrist.

There is a bit of talk on BF that we are interested in Sam Mitchell as an assistant.
Tom Browne tweeted that Mitchell may look to come back to Victoria next year.
He would be a good get.

He can.

And he will.

It depends on the TPP impact of those changes too. We don’t tend to look at our rebuild in terms of TPP r structuring, that’s a huge component.

If Buckley, Boek etc we’re let go on an average AFL wage, and we bring in cheaper one year contracts, it makes sense why he did that.

yeah true. if there was financial implication to those decisions it would make sense.

Based on that, how do you think Coll are travelling?

I didn't actually call you a fool. Maybe that's your subcontious talking? Feeling silly supporting a club you don't rate in any way?

At least we agree wins are the most important end goal. Granted this season has been far poorer than any of us would have hoped for and none of us are enjoying it, but I think we are on the right track.

Bolts hasn't lost any games for us. SOS continues to assemble the right cattle with predominantly good decisions. Last years draft crop will hit their stride next year and this years will be close behind them. That couldn't be said with the same realism over the last 5 years. We have only recently got our selections right. The solution to our previous poor draft decisions is in our trades at the end of this season but we all know attracting players will be hard.....but not impossible. The challenge is there. Let's see how well we do.

Chin up Syd. We will be fine.

Those are all understandable points.

But the other side of the Liddle point is when he has spoken publicly a handful of times he has spoken very well and represented the club very well. Besides, where does it say to be a good in his job he has to be on media street constantly?

The Wietering point is a good one but the club's management of him back to the reserves followed by his good performance when he returned to the firsts is more of a tick than a cross in my book.

But at the end of the day, we all expected better than 1-12. Thin cattle list or not. I'm hopeful the return of two players in particular will help. Marchbank and Pickett.
