Like that'll happen! Do you think a manager would behave that way, what's in it for the manager, premiership player wage commissions on marketing and bonus payments or something? : 
They are basically financial managers, if they didn't make that suggestion they would be in trouble, it would be negligent!
Was yesterday's game the game a team plays when it knows Cripps is leaving?
Was the Kreuzer helmet a sign of a career ending?
Something was not right about yesterday's game!

Cripps came out yesterday and said that the players needed to stick tight and work hard, and that they were all in it together.
He either meant what he said and won't be going anywhere or it was spin, we'll find out in due course I guess.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

That was spin but what you would expect and want to hear......

Playing 4 talls in defence then expecting to play a zoning, offensive game, just doesn't make sense. Essentally dumb coaching.

Fridays "Whisper" in the Hun suggested something similar, ie recalled player fearing that this might be his last game, I thought Gilbert, but I was concerned about the helmet too, said as much to Mrs Hanwell, there had been no mention from the club in regards to him wearing a helmet. Agree something smells in Denmark folks.
I was there, Blight missed!!!

Agree..I guess tactically we knew Bolton wasnt going to be head of his class given his lack of experience, think he needs better support around him
to help him with his match day coaching. Was also very slow to respond to how Beams was slaughtering us and getting out on his own.....
I will credit him for putting work into Zorko though and the Ed Curnow/Lamb tag worked ok for the first quarter till the floodgates broke...

I'm not sure he is cut out for the job of such a big rebuild with his experience. Melbourne at least used Roos for that job.
Wonder if a lack of AFL playing experience contributes to that. Don't really know if that's the case, just throwing out there.

Bolton spoke about this very issue in his presser. Said we were behind on the scoreboard and it becomes a robbing Peter to pay Paul scenario if we try and tag too many. He said there's little point in playing 2 or 3 taggers when we are trying to win a game of footy - trying to tag Beams, Zorko etc. doesn't help us score. We didn't see much that was good yesterday, but I think he understands tactics well enough.

Murphy's had a decent career, a good player. Nothing more.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

That's a silly statement Flyboy which exposes your prejudice!
