And can I say IMO our defence, which was solid as a rock last year, has looked less than effective in the first two rounds (and the JLT). Defenders seem to be constantly getting caught out of position, are we missing Docherty's on field direction? I would say my bloody oath we are. But we knew he was going to be out for a long time, he is on the sidelines with headphones, why arent they correcting their mistakes?
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

If any other coach in our history served up that he would probably be gone.
I like Bolton...I think he's probably a good developer of young talent and a good teacher.
But if other clubs shoot past us.
If other clubs have that hard ruthless winning edge...
Bolton will not survive.
We're not patient enough...life's too short.
But lods, Bolton has just coached his 2nd game in his 3rd season. It's not 3 seasons, it's barely 2.
If we don't give Bolton a fair run, and I mean 5 years as coach, then we are a rubbish organisation that deserves to be skewered and lampooned for all eternity.

Well can I answer?
I was hoping to win, I wasn't expecting to win, but I wasn't expecting what happened either. It's the way this defeat came about that makes it as bad as a 20+ goals loss!
The lower margin probably says more about the current state of GC than Carlton!

It's not Bolton's fault, we've just got too many ordinary footballers on our list.
It comes from butchering the draft for as long as we did and it will take another two or three years to build our stocks.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

So it's SOS then, his recruiters, list managers and the rest of the MC.
No?
Even worse for us, when there is opportunity-a-plenty for players in the VFL, Port handed them(our AFL prospects) their ar5e on a platter.
Perhaps they don't want promotion!
Is it too hot in the kitchen for most of our cooks? :o

No judgements will be made by Carlton admin before the end of the season...maybe longer.
But for supporters two years in the job is more than enough for a honeymoon period.
In fact as far as this place goes Bolton has been given a fair run compared to others.
Watch now as the criticism on this forum begins to grow if success doesn't start to happen.
...and that's fair enough.
Folks are starting to question selections and tactics...and that's what drives a discussion group like this one.

Did you expect to replace Kreuzer with Polson?
I was far from certain about today. Polson for Krooz was crazy.

When everything is said and done, players mission g accounted for etc etc, the end result is this —-
Not good enough effort out there.
That’s what stings - the effort was shit and half hearted.

Selecting Polson, period. No K replacement. No forward or defensive organisation... Time to ask serious questions of Mr Bolton.
Not happy Jan. I didn't expect to win but I thought this crap was behind us.
PS. We need some hard as nails inside midfielders, I still would have gone for LDU. Our midfield is small and slow.
Mullet is ca ca. Soft and suspect under any pressure, but he ain't the lone ranger.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

If you are some kid on an AFL list with 2 or 3 years to prove your worth, and you are picked up by a club offering up this sort of sh1t, you'll be asking some very hard questions behind the scenes. That makes for disunity, and that is what we look like, a club without unity!
How does that fit with the message over the last few years?
Is SoJ one of those kids, how does his old man fit into all this, who can BB trust?
So many conflicts of interest, so much potential for things to go so very wrong!
Hughesy and Co., better get onto the overtime making those videos, we probably need one for every unsigned member!

It's not a catastrophe, we must not catastrophise!
It's an easy fix!
We had a plan to cover the loss of Kreuzer, he was close! :o
We weren't smashed in the clearances.
It's hard to explain.
