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..
I don't think Bolton has said anything about the list other than positive comments. Unlike previous coaches, he is very supportive of the playing group in his public comments. Of course, what he thinks privately may well be a different matter.
I think that he is pretty realistic about how long it will take before the gameplan is second nature and we develop the 'polish and execution' to carry it off.

I know, but the media and certain supporters love putting the boot in, so if it's not that "record", it will be something else.
You try and process as much repetitive information as you can, but after a while it's just becomes blah - you can't process it any more (for a multitude of reasons), so it just washes over you without any effect. I have no issue when the anti Carlton brigade rear their ugly heads, because I've read and experienced it that often, it's pointless focusing on it.
I hope the reset that is talked about extends throughout the club. We know the anti CFC crap will start sooner or later, and this doesn't interest me. What does interest me is our response to this. In the past we have poor in dealing with this, and if the reset is real and not just words, I expect the club to really improve in how they deal with it.

It's a good question you pose. Surely the club would not be dumb enough to pull the triggers (no pun intended) one year in, but at the same time, you cannot go through a season winless. Would be good if we beat the scum twice and that's it, they win 3-4 games and we get pick 1 and a priority pick. That would almost be the perfect result.

The quotes from Bolton throughout this article give some insights into the recent discussion in this thread.

Does this help ?
Any help appreciated
If it rains in Perth it usually doesn't rain for long.
...during the day it won't be too slippery and the ground will drain well. I don't think it will much difference.

Hahaha wtf. Maybe we SHOULD sack him.

Jamo and Krooz named as possible interchanges. Is this list "legally enforceable" If Krooz or Jamo make it to the final 22, do they have to start on the bench ?
