Hard to say. Not seeing alot of attitude on-field. If that's what they are asking of Harry then 90% of the side needs to be dropped.

Yep, I have to agree, an article which is more of an insight into Maher's desperation for some Carlton success than any real solution.

Bolton is a different personality and has a different style to Malthouse, but seems similarly fixated on an inflexible game plan that doesn't work.

The game plan would work if he brought the Dawks list with him!
I'm far more impressed by coaches that work with and improve what they are given, than coaches who have a formulaic approach and renovate the environment/list to suit an existing plan!
That was MM's problem, he had one plan and needed the whole place turned on it's head to make it work! Even then it would have been a plan that all the opponents knew well, nothing innovative!
Dimma's success is a great example, his list hasn't changed much, but he changed even if it was just by getting himself and the other dud coaches out of the player's way!

I'd be content if Bolton would work with the list he has. But he doesn't and his game plan isn't right for where our playing group is at. We need to get the basics right and develop some fighting spirit by playing tight, competitive one on one footy. As a young team we will still get beaten in the contests, but I'd rather see them go down fighting than running around confused, uninterested and playing soft football.

The only doubt I have, is this BB's game plan or is he under instruction from above?
If he is, what integrity does he have, if he is under instruction what integrity does our club have?
If he isn't under instruction, is that even worse?

There was a marking contest on the wing in which Chuck was awarded a free (it was indicated that way) then for some inexplicable reason the lions got the free. Everybody had stopped, but the Lions had the ball at deck level and the bloke cribbed and just ran off with it and the peanut umpiring just waved advantage...ended up a soft goal to Barrettvand that just about finished us off I thought.
Anybody recall us getting one of those "cribbed" run forward to advantage incidents this season?
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Yes you wonder with the young talent we have, what would happen if they said just go for it, you guys set the agenda and follow it through.
Too many cooks in the CFC coaching kitchen?
