IMO Mckay's promotion to the seniors had more to do with dealing with media pressure due to poor results than any great form in the NB's and Cuninghams demotion rates alongside Polson's promotion to the senior team a couple of weeks ago as mystifying at best...
Bolton and SOS may well turn out to be spuds, but it's far too early to tell IMO. I think the points Bolton makes about kids with few games at AFL level, and also few games together, have merit. I also think his points about the extensive list changes creating unrest and a "Foreign Legion" type atmosphere also have merit. I will wait until we have some stability and kids with games under their belt before I make judgment.
I think about it in terms of someone who's had major surgery (a lot like our list). People come and look at the guy when he's all bandaged up, doped up on painkillers and in traction, and these people think the surgeon is crap because the guy looks awful, and looks worse than he did before surgery - without appreciating there's a stabilization and recuperation period ahead. IMO, we are now in that post operative, bandaged up phase.
At least that's what I'm hoping.
