Barker And Bolts Rexy.
Too much talk
Not enuff dash and dare.
He is a bit anal as it turns out.
Had a good go.
Reckon he has lost the players
Because the players are lost.

Neither did Buckley when he took over the pies, I don’t get this point.

Agree Rexy Bolton has some very good qualities but he needs a updated mentor.
He’s too rigid and unadventurous .
We don’t expect tactical genius but something has got to give.
I’m not an expert, Brendon needs more flexibility, grit and pride in players method.
Not easy to do as these youngsters are deflated, to get some buoyancy back may take more than Brendon has.

Our skills for the entire team is pathetic, can anyone tell me who our best foot passer is?
If the entire team as a whole has skills problem, it means there is something seriously wrong with our training.

And it's not even kicking, it's the basic hand-balling skill, we can't even do it properly, it's always wobbly, high in the air, and missing targets.

And can any of our players do a low foot pass? the ones that goes straight at a players chest level instead of bombing it high in the air.

I don't think Bolton has the attention to detail to know and fix these problems, so he has to go.

I think Bolton pays to much attention to detail

I just look at Hardwick and Buckley and think things can turn around if meaningful change is made in the FD.

I’m worried that the haemorrhaging will come at trade time as the young guys bail on us.

If you were young and talented why would you stay?

If you were A Grade talent why would you come?

I’d count myself as rusted on to the current process, but geez it’s hard to find a silver lining.

“We got beat but gee our pressure was amazing” or “at least our skills were good” or “at least our 3 young midfielders are playing great footy”.

I am just struggling to find something to see that gives faith.

I honestly don't know what to make of this season. I didn't expect an immediate leap up the ladder but I certainly expected to go into the half way point with more than one win on the board. I also thought the days of getting hammered by shithouse teams was behind us but the North Melbourne game put paid to that expectation.

While I'm in the "wait until the end of the year" camp I understand the calls to show Bolton the door. It's just that recent history says it's going to change bugger all at this club.

Happy with Stocker and yes if we land an experienced big body then we will have done very well.

Someone mentioned kicking - so I'd say Stocker and Walsh are excellent.

I didn't think Kennedy was too bad first game back in the bigtime.

I wonder if playing Kerr (I'd drop and shift McGovern) would help with our structure - twice on Sunday we lost our structure and if they had kicked straight it could have gotten really ugly (and yes it was ugly anyway).

I was told the Netball World Cup is also on this year.
It's in Liverpool.

OK, what subtlety have I missed in that post, Moshe?

Dimma and Bucks never finished last.
Bolton has been far worse than those two ever were.

I was fortunate enough to attend the presidents lunch and sit in the pre game coaches briefing to the players pretty much this time 4 years ago at Barker's first home game after we sacked Malthouse.

It was against Port Adelaide at the MCG, a game we won.

A fair chunk of the briefing was trying to build up the confidence in the players that they didn't need to be scared of making mistakes anymore and to have confidence to take the game on and not worry about the angry old guy yelling at you etc etc- and strategically i remember as plain as day the drawings and writing on the board along with the discussions to look inboard and use the corridor, play on at angles where you can towards the middle to open the ground up and make the switch effective - no need anymore to stop and only bomb long down the line to a contest.

It's quite miserably deflating that here we are 4 years later almost in the same position , with the players lacking confidence, a gameplan of long bombing down the line and talks of sacking the coach for an interim to come in and lift spirits

That game was a ripper , I honestly can't remember our gamestyle for the rest of Barkers tenure but i do remember that several club "powerbrokers" were convinced Barker was the man for the long term gig and i was pretty much called a liar on this board at the time but it happened that some people who input significant amounts of support and money to the club were actually told by the club that Barker got the gig prior to the Bolton announcement.

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

That's basically what any suburban coach tells their team to do. That might have been the exact right simple message at that stage given what MM had done to them but I'm sure Barker has a more technical side to his coaching which he would've introduced in the games thereafter.

Of the 14 games he coached he lost 11 of them by an average of over 50 points. One of the losses by 138 points.

Bottom line, Barker has been there a long time in a key strategic role. The coaching dept need to change things up. He's the obvious one to move on, imho.

My post was more to highlight the sad state of affairs of how we are in a very similar position 4 years down the track

I'm not advocating Barker get the gig now.

Though i was 4 years ago , of course there was more to him than the part i wrote and you highlighted

And the list now is far far superior to 4 years ago
