I don't believe SOS has done Bolton any favours and he's been the fall guy for the duration of our midfield but today spells the end unfortunately.
You cant have 50 inside 50's for a match and score 4 goals.
We played a spare in defence and allowed Heppell to control the game in a midfield sweepers role. As a result a relatively poor midfield scored 5 goals from clearances.
The apparent lack of appreciation of the small forward role by the list managers really bit the coaches on the arse today.
I feel for Bolts because he endured the hard times coaching an unbalanced team that was more intent on accumulating talent instead of acquiring a team that could remain competitive during the rebuild. SOS took the right approach but it was a hardline approach that was every chance of being a coach killer.
And it appears it's turned out that way.
Frustrating as we were killed by Heppel all day. Saw Ed go to Merrett and thought we may have turned a coaching corner but the Heppel situation and the lack of cover for Essendon***'s spread was glaring.... Right from the get go....
Nothing seemed to get done... FFS he got about 4 possessions in the first 5 minutes!!
BTW Bolt's presser today is total BS...... Capping on... Aren't the reporters smart enough? He gets asked about our midfield rotations in one of the games we've rotated plenty through... Well how did that go against North and even Saints?...
Strategies, moves have been frustrating or non existent....
Yeah but why recruit Lang Kennedy Fasolo Plowman etc
It’s not just about a balanced list
It’s about recruiting good players more than recruiting duds Sos hasn’t other than around 10 or so with high draft picks
The list manager is more important than the head coach
Don’t give jobs to mates
