Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 9: Carlton vs. GWS

[flyboy77]

In any event, the next 4 weeks will determine Bolton's future...

He should get a few back this week - Simmo, Cuners, Plow.

Let's hope they wise up at the selection table!!!!

(picking Macreadie - how bloody dumb, noting not the kid's fault)

[Jack Burton]

Give up. You backed the wrong horse.

4 years later, with a good young side we are still heading for the spoon with a worse record than our previous dud coaches.

Not sure what evidence you could use to back up your assertion that we are a "good young side"? I must have missed something

[Lods]

Context.

We were heading to a spoon when Bolton took over the club.

Ratten had set his sights on top 4 and a premiership tilt.

At the time ratten got sacked we were a divided club who wasn't sure he should be sacked and history shows it was unlikely to have been the correct decision.

Applying any argument surrounding using rattens grounds for sacking works against anyone using it to argue why we should sack Bolton.  In fact its proof the playing group will not unite against a new coach.

Just to clarify.
We were 'deliberately' heading for an 'optimum list management' position when Bolton took over (although he had little impact on that)

Just as we were 'deliberately' looking for an 'optimum list management' position when Ratten took over.

It worked for the libs and the messiah from the shire

We were discussing the state of play when ratten was sacked although the climate in which both coaches started is a poignant point.  Both have started in a similar environment.  Sacking the coach not only didn't work actually worked against our footy club lifting itself out if the malaise it finds itself in yet again.

To prove a point, ratten is on record stating that the goal is top 4 in the year he got sacked in.  I am still yet to hear us state we are going to be defined by wins and losses under Bolton.

Did it work when Pagan was sacked?

Is that a good thing?  :-\ :-\

Nope.

It hasn't worked at all.

If anything the last time we sacked a coach that wasnt working out, and it worked was when we gave walls the lemon stars and brought back David parkin.

After that it's been one train wreck after another.

It's still a train wreck if you haven't noticed!

Oh so it’s only a premiership that means it worked.
If that’s the case, we need to find our next coach cause this bloke ain’t winning us a flag
