Capuano is purely a development coach these days, does a bit of work with our international recruiting also. As far as I'm aware, he has nothing to do with our ruck setups and hasn't done for a while now. I think we'll learn more about him and his abilities over the next couple of seasons with all the kids coming through.

He took over when the team was 1-7 or 1-8 - whilst I acknowledge that even Clarko could not have improved the situation much, I did not see much to inspire me, apart from moments like the Port game.
His media work was ok I guess, but overall I found him rather nebbish.
He missed out on getting the senior gig with us, and missed out with another team as well I think.
I'm not sure he would be missed all that much to be honest. But that's an outsider's opinion.
You shouldn't judge Barker's value as an assistant coach based on how clubs evaluated him as a potential senior coach, they are two very different skill sets. And looking at results during his tenure makes no sense, we were not in the business of trying to win despite the public front.
While Barker was caretaker he displayed plenty that makes him a first class 2nd in command, someone who can advise and guide the players through all sorts of scenarios. My concern is Bolton was a first class 2nd in command as well, will he be a first class senior coach?
However, Bolton has coached a club in his own-right before coming to AFL.

Yes, I guess that's fair enough.

Pressure's on! Actually I won't be the only one from this forum at the game, and we're meeting up so I expect good chats, analysis and reporting back here. Go Blues, Go NBs!

The Box Hill game is round 19 and we'll be long gone by then.
The NB's aren't playing at Geelong this season and the Werribee game is being played at Princes Park so there won't be any VFL action in my new neighbourhood this season. Perhaps we might catch up in 2018.

I was going to ask when the big move west was. Enjoy the great sea-change. 2018 it is. Take care, mate...
