Im starting to get over this game! Those free kicks tonight absolutely killed us! Name one other sport where the junior rules are different to the senior rules?


Re: Rd 4: Post Game Pleasure/pain: Carlton vs. Western Bulldogs - madbluboy - 04-16-2016

30 frees to 13. And they evened it up late.

So you think in the absence of wins, doing well saves Bolton's career correct?

I answered both ffs

Then it could be winless Carlton vs Cheats FC.

If we lose both those games I genuinely fear for Bolton purely based on our clubs history of dealing with these types of results.

I think that your fears are completely without foundation LP.  Bolton was employed to do a job and wins and losses aren't all that relevant at this stage of the journey.  I am sure that board now realise that Malthouse gutted the playing list and f****ed the culture and it will take time to work our way back to where Ratten had us. 

I'm watching the TV coverage at the moment and they just showed Bolton at the whiteboard with the assistants looking on.  He is definitely the man to take us forward.

And has our club any history at all of stupid decision making?

Of course it does!! The last 20 years has taught us that!

Everything we have heard from the club this year has been united and to suggest we will sack the coach harks back to the bad old days

Certainly didn't help our (at times) good endeavor. Was 24 to 5 at one point >Sad

No at all, not a single answer of any sort!

But I'll give you a couple of historic pointers, just to help you out.

Robert Walls, VFL legend, premiership player, coach 3 years, 1 flag, 55 wins - 29 losses - 1 draw, ... sacked.

David Parkin, VFL legend, premiership player, coach 4 years, 2 flags, 79 wins - 40 losses - 1 draw, ... sacked.

Brendan Bolton, never played the game, no track record, ... how many chances will he get?

If we have a string of results like that by mid-season The Judge's hammer will fall, and Trigger will pull it!

you've read the situation at the minute incorrectly.
The results are meaningless at this juncture. The endeavor, development, and willingness to commit from the younger
players is everything. That is happening. The board realize now the hard way. There is no quick fix.
This coach is building a bond with the new generation, some fkwit on the executive breaks that, im really done with this club , and so will about 30k members

I don't disagree, but that raises a very interesting question.

How unanimous do you think the board is at the moment?

Here is what I think, if posters like yourself and Jeffy38 really believe that Bolton's results make no difference. Then please make sure you tell the thousands of members who have already failed to sign up in 2016 to get on board soon. Because if that membership trend continues in the light of Bolton's ongoing good losses he's a dead duck, no matter how honorable his intention is.
