The process at the moment is education...when we get all the pieces to the puzzle ie required players to fill or the gaps we can work on the method/game plan.
I wouldnt be bothered over complicating things at the moment, some of our players are struggling with the basics..if we had 40 Weiterings/Cripps on the list then we could skip
process 101 and move to 301 but thats dreamimg...
I think Bolton himself admitted in a post match presser a week or two go all he can do is educate this season and look to cut and draft more players at season end...he knows
he need another big cull to get the list in shape..

The temptation for sure would be there to try for a reassuring win with a different game plan and team selection, and I must admit it would be nice to savour that sweet taste again. However, I think BB will keep going with his current approach for the time being. There are potentially big dividends if we can only hold the line with it, but it will be hard to keep up morale if we keep getting beaten week in week out.

This is it..does the board, CEO, Pres, sponsors etc understand rebuilding or will we sacrifice development for short term corporate gain...you regain lost members/sponsors when you are successful.....success is repeated finals appearances, not winning 3 games rather than 1...there has to be some pain on the journey...

Perhaps you're right. It could either way - the choice for the wooden spoon was either us or the Bombers. I've heard some in the media discussing the small improvements they see in us, so I guess as long as they keep seeing that...........
The expectations were very low at the start of the season, but of course as EB says, there will always be a media and supporter contingent who will whinge.

Erudite, knowledgeable and sensible CFC supporters know that Essendon's off season recruiting was about short term survival / competitiveness. As you yourself have stated, their list is better than ours at the moment.
No pressure from me.
It would be the worst start to the season in our history. It basically starts the ball rolling.
