Character was not the knock on Bolton. Gave his all. Did not work

That's pretty much it.

I know for absolute fact he's better when the cameras are off (his family were in business for many years with my old-man's family... and he does know how to get deals done)... but sweet merciful crap, get him some media training or get him (read: keep him) away from the lens.

He's not a great deal better when the cameras are off...and he's had lots of media training. But we've seen no improvement...

And if anyone has doubts about Cain Liddle. Today should dispel them. Ultra impressive.

Meanwhile, MlG could barely string three words together.

I do feel sorry for people who have an issue speaking in public, it’s a debilitating affliction, which has affected me over the years, so I try not to judge people too harshly if they stumble over public speaking.

Would you rather coach Carlton or be PM of Australia?

I didn't see the presser, but if he legit said 'it's about wins/losses' he's in serious denial. This team was more dysfunctional than Pagan's Dad's Army team of 2003/4.

So at the expense of having an Edwin Starr song thrown back at me...What is he good for?

I thought MLG was quite good today (by his standards). I think he's clearly improved. But he's still not great.

However, if it was just Liddle who turned up to the presser with Bolts, would we be saying it's not good enough for the Pres to not front the media?

Unfortunatley he had to go, now we get someone in that will call out the limp wristed players who threw him under the bus.

Spineless lot, who need a kick up the arse!! They need to take allot of the responsibility for the performances and the coaches sacking!!

And they can forget the crocodile tears, they were spineless!!

Call me old fashioned, but i'd be happy to let the new coach choose his deputies. It's hard to say 100% whether the midfield issues related to the coaches or the overall gameplan.

Yeah nah. They don't have to make any apology at all. They just have to be professional and play to the new gameplan.

If I were applying to be coach, choosing my own assistants would be a non-negotiable

Some of us have definitely got there ( couch coach blinkers on ) ! Some of them were not professional at all.

I doubt some of us even know or have any idea what a game plan is, but that is there fall back option!!

Some players will not be able to blame the young coach anymore, they will be moved on and then we can start putting the blow torch on SOS!
