Another piece of trivia; in 2003 Brendon Bolton won the Horrie Gorringe Medal for B&F as captain-coach of North Hobart. I'm not sure if Horrie and Daniel are related but Gorringe is a relatively rare surname.
Anyway, back to the footy.
Bolton started his press conference last Sunday by apologising for being monotonous and he hasn't changed his ways:
Quote:Blues coach Brendon Bolton said despite the excitement of last week’s win, his team would be ready to tackle the Lions.
“If you’re one or two per cent off in terms of your focus and approach you can get hurt … We need to be on again,” Bolton told the media on Friday.
“We’re wary of Brisbane. They have pushed some real quality sides.”
Blues vice-captain Kade Simpson will lead the side in the absence of skipper Marc Murphy, who will miss up to a month after suffering an ankle injury against the Cats.
Bolton admitted Murphy’s absence would “leave a hole” in the Blues’ midfield, but was confident his team’s improved leadership would fill the void.
“We’ve built leadership density,” he said.
“We can’t rely on one individual … We need to be a team that’s about the sum of the parts.”
. . .
“We want to be defined by our pressure and he (Graham) will just add to that.”
. . .
But Bolton was quick to reduce the hype around the possible match-up [Weitering-Schache].
“I don’t want to overplay that match-up," he said.
“We play team defence, so it (Weitering-Schache match-up) can’t happen all the time.”
Despite recent media discussion around a potential lottery system for the national draft, Bolton reiterated the Club’s position to put winning above positioning for draft picks.
“Creating a culture for sustained success is important, that’s about standards, values and behaviours,” he said.
“That’s No.1 and always will be at the Carlton Football Club.”
Keep on being monotonous Brendon

i doubt very much we'll play as badly as the Tiges!
Re: Rd 11: Pre Game Patter: Carlton vs Brisbane - laj - 06-04-2016
Ridiculously we are a good chance of being 6-5 half way. Who would've thought, especially after being 0-4 and pretty ordinary in a few of those games. Nothing like shitty, scratchy wins, like those against Freo and Essendon, to build confidence and belief. 90% of the time it certainly beats an honourable loss.

Am i the only one nervous about today?
Play 3/4 as good as last week and we get the win but our past history of dropping these sorts of games is always in the back of my mind.
Loins paying $4.10 :-\

We were a bit flat against Nth but hopefully we'll avoid that today. If we come out fully firing I think we should get the win alright. Looking forward to seeing Byrne back in the side and seeing how Graham performs after the raps he's been getting from his recent NB form. Also looking forward to Kreuz v. Martin - should be a fascinating contest.
Go Blues!

I'm a little nervous before most games.
