Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs. Hawthorn

[Jack Burton]

I see us playing better football every week.  Our ball movement at times is proper top notch now, and is a pleasure to watch.  The important thing is that we are doing everything better for longer this season than last. 

Losing sucks.  Losing so often sucks more.  Losing from 6 goals up sucks balls.  The boys are learning their lessons the hard way.  Lesson for this week - taking the foot off the pedal with a 5 goal lead at half time is a bad idea.

I don't know if Bolts is a very good match day coach yet, but I think he'll also learn from this loss (as if he needs more experience at that).  Is his coaching any good?  Based on 10 of the last 12 quarters i've watched i reckon he's got the boys playing some really good footy.  There's still something missing though - is it the players or the coach who aren't quite there yet?  There were some rotten coach killer moments that have already been mentioned on here, but something also went astray with their game plan after half time.

I still give Bolts to the end of the year before getting out the pitch forks.  The list has been built, but it is still being developed.  We need more wins, no doubt about it, and still think we can get to 6 or 8 for the season.  That would make me happy, and unless the wheels fall off, we'll get them.

Well said, captures my thoughts exactly
