Begs the question, have we actually improved at all?

Getting rid of 14 or so players every off season for 3 years has a cumulative effect. It's like resetting every time.

Not under Bolton. Side is better but he' getting nothing out of them.

Yes that is a reality fans won't accept, yet if you point out they feel negative in the same cumulative way they enter denial!

Gratification is instant, bitterness lingers!

Yes, it's a hard sell, the slow rebuild. Clearly media and certain supporters (and maybe others) are getting very fidgety.

It's a spectrum thing.
At the start we had strong views 'for and against' the process and a centre who were prepared to see where it was heading.

You'll get folks who are naysayers from the start.
I'll put my hand up for that.
(Again I'll state....that's not anti Bolton, it's anti process)

You'll also get folks that will 'stick fat' until there is success or ashes.

The problem for a club occurs when you start to lose the centre…
I have a feeling that's what's happening now and the only way to prevent that is not through honorable losses but by winning games.

If we started to play ugly but potentially winning football again, the media would almost certainly revert to bashing us, and what would happen around memberships given that ugly losses are far more memorable to ugly wins!

"Well we won, but it was ugly.........!"

"That's the worst loss I've ever seen, crap skills an ugly game plan and never looked like winning..........my kids has quit the club!"

[Lods]

I'd take an ugly win or two over last weeks result.

Bugger the media....them pumping us up for this year's efforts disappeared in a cloud of dust as soon as we went off the rails.

I agree, we are far too sensitive to it and respectful of the ambulance chasers, I feel many in our club Admin fear the media.

Dealing with them was the only positive MM brought to the club!

If we didn't sack Malthouse we would be playing finals by now.
