I cant believe I am reading stuff on here about hoping BB knows how to play an attacking game style and all the negativety.....
Some people are so bloody hard to please .
Im loving that our team is playing like a TEAM. I'm wrapped that we've gone from hoping and wishing for a consistent effort to knowing my team will give a consistant effort every week. I'm also ecstatic that I get to see our babies, grow before my own eyes because I know that they're being taught and understanding how to play the game the right way.
Fair dinkum unbelievable some of you.
I'm all for free speech and differing opinions btw, but considering the changeover of our playing list, changeover of coaching staff, how much better do you really expect us to be ??
I'm wrapped with our progress and back BB 1000%.
Just sayin......
Like.
I agree entirely with bigblue's sentiments related to change and progress. Well said.
To add my bit: I'm not ticked off by opinions that differ though. I love the diversity because it provides opportunity to look at the same people/processes from different slants. Indeed my view is there are many roads to Rome. This forum brings people together from possibly every single route  .
Go new Blues
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

We are currently sitting 16th. Al I want to see is that we can kick winning scores on a regular, or even semi regular basis. And by winning score, I mean around 100 points.
We can defend till doomsday. We won't win much at all kicking around 70 points a game.
Now Bolts may well have all the answers. He may well lead us to the promised land. We may even build a dynasty with him in charge.
I'll be waiting, and I'll be watching.
We've pretty much endured the 3 variations in the rebuild false dawns eras
Rattan was as good as it got for offensive / negative accountability systems
Malthouse, went the immediate other way and lost/confused players - physically and mentally (some say he coached for his own contract)
Bolton is no false dawn. He is the real deal. He is better than the aforementioned, in every way.
You can only do with what cattle you have and he has passed and gained my confidence. What remains to be seen, is how he will grow and develop when the cattle list gets better , and it will.
Players will want to come, players will want to stay. He's a "hearts and minds" merchant, with the right amount of pragmatism. You see him in the box, he like a fired up little kid with his hand permanently affixed to his mouth. He has passion.
SOS, knows footy talent, his son is there. they both have passion - its personal for them.
The board now seem to be supporting whats in place.
On the field, this group doesn't give up. (despite some not cutting it) and that's all i want to see. I don't give 2 fks about ladders this year, and maybe next. Its sustained long term, hawks style success from 2019 im interested in.
Fk , will it be sweet when it comes

Which brings us to another point
Bolton is nearing the end of his "three year not a contract but permanent employment" contract.
Do we need to revise this arrangement given we have confidence we have the right man in place?

1. Bring us no 17;
2. Keep all the fwits out of the joint.

I want the club to be successful, so I look forward to your prophecies and beliefs about Bolton being correct, but I don't buy into the "offense only" myth making that surrounds Ratts' tenure.

Bombers had confidence in Hird.
Collingwood had confidence in Buckley.
Sure things are tracking nicely, but lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet.
I don't think Bolton is the type of guy to do a 'Ross Lyon' on us.
