I wouldn't be surprised if Bolton wasn't on the phone with a "thanks but no thanks" call.
This job is bigger than Ben Hur and will be years in the making.

@B4L Exactly, we need all the no brainer picks we can get our hands on.

I reckon the Essendon job is the only job someone wouldn't jump at. A chance to return a former great club to glory, not a hell of a lot of expectation. St Kilda gig looked even worse than ours IMO and they have started to pick themselves up. Shouldn't have let that Richardson guy go.

Weitering may be the next big thing but he probably won't be ready to take on big forwards in his first year.

Dew might be feeling pretty good with his career choices tonight.

Don't think so. Quite the opposite I think.
People say we haven't bottomed out yet. I think losing to the bottom side by 10 goals is bottoming out.
The only way is up.
Perfect for a new enthusiastic coach to come in.
Awful floggings like this are part of this whole process.
Its often darkest before the dawn as they say.
Get Bolton in with a fresh, modern game plan that the players buy into, nail the draft and trading period, and nobody will give a crap about tonight's game in 6 mths time

Lol at jamo refusing to shake Robbo's hand.
Re: Round 20: Carlton vs Brisbane Post Game Pain - bigblue - 08-15-2015
Holman being the sub seemed an odd decision to me. Hes one who has a fair dinkum crack and can use the ball.
I dont understand why Murph and Gibbs would be adverse to being traded. Reports suggest they want to stay.....my question is why?
Murph tried his guts out.....I'll give him that but his skills are so poor for a 1st round pick let alone a no 1 pick.
Gibbs has given us 1 good years service but for the most part has polarised us.
Fellas, do the right thing and do yourselves a favour........leave and give us an early pick in the draft.
Hendo and Yarran have screwed us. There trade value has absolutely plummetted.
Touhy, Rowe, Bell, and theres more who dont come to mind should be offloaded too.
Our nucleus is Cripps ( give him captaincy now) Buckley, Docherty, Casboult, Holman. Build around them cos if we're lucky, they might be young enough to be in our next premiership team.
Fwiw, id prefer Dew as coach over Bolton. I just dont see enough C**t in Bolton to be a senior coach.

(08-15-2015, 12:41 PM)MosquitoFleet link Wrote:I stand by my statement. ...hes uselessAgreed that he's past his best but the fact is in our current position both Jamison and Rowe are the best defenders we can put on the park in 2016 and they'll be necessary to support Weitering as he develops.
The only other options with our current list are Watson, jaksch, fields and maybe giles. Or maybe trialling jones at full back instead of Rowe.
We'll find it impossible to trade in good defender in (which kind of defeats the purpose of rebuilding anyway)so if we try to trade we'll be taking someone else's discards or second stringers.
The only other option is bringing in 3-4 mature players currently running around state leagues. Will they be any better?

Agree...this will be one of many beatings we have had for the year but this game and the next three are different as we position ourselves for the draft/trade period.
I wouldnt be judging the coach and some players on tonight or the nex three weeks...Barker has his instructions IMO and they might not be to everyone's liking.
