Shameful performance.
Re: In Game Attitude: 2019 Rd 3: Carlton vs Sydney - bignic - 04-06-2019
The first two misses, Dow's and Harry's were solely due to a lack of concentration and technique. Dow tried to steer the ball through rather than kick through it, and Harry just didn't give a stuff. Thought this is easy, and missed.
That's another symptom of poor coaching.
Two more things,
1. Have you noticed how many of our blokes run past the opponent who has got the ball, rather than at them in a real desire to tackle?
2. If you want to know why Bolton can't coach, he's a good talker but can't coach, think back to the first quarter against Richmond.
Game 1 of the season, 85,000 people, and the coach can't have the players up enough to want to run through a brick wall for him and the supporters. So what do we get, a 5 goal to zero first quarter.
Forget what happened in the next two quarters, that first quarter cost us any chance of winning.
That said all that needed to be said about Bolton for me.

Another loss, but there's plenty of improvement from last year. Swans have plenty of stars and plenty of quality - there were never going to be zip-3. I thought we'd lose by 2, so 3 is about right IMO.

If by run you mean jog?
Yet for one quarter today we got it right and found some intensity. Then it all stopped. And we just started playing a zone and jogging around.

But he hasn't actually, thus far, shown an instinct for the game. His reaction times are so slow, most top picks show something in their early games. Early days, I know, and maybe with more team success around him... sorry, but not optimistic at this stage.
Re: In Game Attitude: 2019 Rd 3: Carlton vs Sydney - Professer E - 04-06-2019
Sorry Paul, I'm struggling to see positives, it just the same old crap, different season. Now we have injuries and don't have our best 18 we're struggling to be competitive. Winning is a fantasy ATM, they just aren't intense for long enough.

I am. I watched the 2nd, 3rd and 4th q, and I thought he did some nice things. Certainly not write off material IMO.
