I have never believed that Brendon Bolton was a coaches bootlace, and watching this game, has re-confirmed my opinion.
We can't and will not win a game, with the current game plan whatever that is. The coach, and I use that term loosely, still has them going wide. They are still playing stop start football.
As Garry Lyon has kept saying the whole game, you have got a big bloke like Harry Mac who is taking contested marks and should stay near the goals no matter what, and there he is playing on the wing because he's being dragged up the ground by his opponent. Surely the instruction from a coach with any intelligence would be, "I don't care what happens, you do not, under any circumstances, move any more than a maximum of 20 metres from goal".
Yes we have got passengers. Gibbons and Polson aren't good enough and never will be. Kennedy needs game time. And yes, Dow is making mistakes, but he's got the ability, Walsh is and will continue to be a gun and will, barring injury, get better and better. Setterfield still has a way to go but hasn't played much and will hopefully get better
I believe that with our full team in, Krreuzer, Charlie Curnow and a couple of others, and we can win games.
And with some decent pick ups next year, who knows, we could play finals in 2020.
BUT, we will NEVER play finals with this bloke as coach. Once his plan A, whatever that is fails, he has no plan B let alone any other plan.
I don't care how many Robert Wall's you have so called mentoring him, nor do I care that Walls has said according to today's paper, that "he can coach". He can make as many barbecues as he likes, and love the players as much as he wants, but the quicker he's gone, and Barker replaces him for at least the rest of this season, the better.
