2018 Rd 17: Post Game whatever : Carlton vs Hawthorn

[laj]

So a good horse trainer can take a hack running around on the picnic circuit and turn it into a Cup winner?
The bald facts are that of all the players we drafted between 2007 and 2014 only Kreuzer, Rowe, Graham and Cripps are still at the club, and two of those are on borrowed time.
That's effectively 8 years of the draft up in smoke, but somehow it's Bolton's fault that we've bottomed out in 2018.
I don't buy it.

A near winless season is the coach's fault.

I coach athlete's from elite to grass roots. Thee role of good coaching is to get the best out of every athlete whether they win an Olympic medal to simply give their personal best times a good smacking. Hence the job of a coach, horse trainer is to get players to play to their potential. We are far from that. Don't argue that one with me. We are alot better than what we are showing. We have a number of youngsters with alot of ability with enough decent established players to be better than this.

Bet you said the same thing in 2007 as well. We played finals 2 years later. We suddenly found blokes were actually better than what we thought even if alot of them weren't that talented. Maybe because we had the only coach that was half decent since 2000.
