However, we need to get really good at it and hide our thuggery like Hawthorn do. Our guys do not know how and when to show that aggression yet. Hawthorn took a while to 'get it right'. Hopefully, so will we.
Docherty's spoil that left the Swans player on the deck for couple of minutes and looking over his shoulder for the rest of the game was a good example.

(a) to walk away (relatively) unscathed
(b) to make opposition players pay a physical price
© to see how our guys related to it
are all major positives.
Please sir, can we have some more.

Graham gave his opponent a hip to the orchestra stalls that brought tears to his eyes and kept him out of the game for 5 minutes. I suspect that one was accidental

Spot on, Laidler took a massive dive.

All this argy bargy we are now doing (and will get better at it) will make the Dawks game a rather physical one.
I reckon BB will have the boys fired up for that one. Here's hoping.

Did you here his comment in "The Journey" when one of the boys had some claret coming out during training? Something like: I like it, a little bit of blood never killed anyone. We saw the smiling, cheerful little man at Hawthorn who grinned and thanked the reporters for coming to his presser. Deep down he is a competitive and ruthless individual who wont give up until his mission is accomplished. And there will be casualties along the way. I like him alot.

Bolton could not have found a more accurate or quicker way to make our lot feel "Comfortable at being uncomfortable" than to force them to play physically accountable and intimidating football. For most of the last decade the only people we have been any good at intimidating or bullying have been our own!
So "Unity" and "Become Comfortable at Being Uncomfortable". Watch Clarkson's tactics against us very closely, he will be desperate to pick this apart especially if it looks like being the seeds of long term success!

I'm not canning the effort, I'm canning the idea of taking it to the AFL and trying to beat it, because Daisy isn't really a key player and he probably got what he deserved.

Hubris is a funny thing.
I think Clarkson will want to try and pick this apart, but on some level he will be pleased that it will be his protege to knock him off if anyone is going to do it.

Isn't Bolton the fifth of Clarkson's protégés currently coaching against him?
I suspect Clarkson doesn't give a fat rat's clacker about our long term prospects and will simply be focused on winning on the day. He and his players will perhaps be expecting a more physical game from us but they won't be changing the way they go about their footy.
