So according to you, Bolton can come up with ideas from looking at tapes etc but once the game starts and the opposition change strategies, he's lost. The reality is there have been numerous games this year where other teams have countered us during games or started better and we have arrested back the momentum through tactics or structures. (Richmond, Sydney, Geelong, Collingwood, Eagles, Bulldogs, Crows) But no, this morning it only counts if we went on to win the game!
I'm happy for Bolton to be open to scrutiny (even by vultures like you) but let's be factual in our criticism. Just making up shit or throwing out the usual "plan A, plan B" rubbish by posters who wouldn't know a structure if one popped out of their Coco Pops just makes you look like even more of a fool. By all means he should be accountable for strategies etc but only if the criticisms of them have some semblance of fact related to them.
lol, you're really clutching at straws. we arrested back momentum, did we? and you call me a fool. haha
for example. not sure what game you were watching, but bolton never countered richmond in game one. rather it was Richmond & hardwick who figured us out at halftime, and with that spread zone we were using, told his players to run and carry at us, not try and kick it through us. by the 4th qtr, bolton - if he had any moves - still could have possibly saved that game at 3qtr time. but nah.
there hasn't been any evidence this year, that Bolton can coach and manoeuvre, counter, roll with a plan b within a game. his attention to detail and preparation for games gets (imo) a big tick. ie in the static environment of the training week and video sessions.
but once the ball is bounced, his matchups, strategies, and lack of a plan b shows up like dog balls. ie bolton doesn't react, or he isn't capable of reacting?
like many of said, we didn't have the defensive cattle for zone on the weekend. the obvious solution: play man on. turn every forward entry of the Lions into a contested matchup. it certainly would have slowed them down, rather than the frustrating free for all of watching hipwood score a career high.
apart from insults, you haven't thrown out anything here of worth for bolton, and with every passing post you just sound more one-eyed and more out of touch ...
