Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 12: Carlton vs Brisbane

[Thryleon]

There won't be a challenge Thry
There is no-one out there to mount a credible challenge.
And the obstacles to do that are well in place
I doubt anyone at the level we're talking about is going to be overly concerned about the demise of Brendon Bolton.
Win tomorrow and many supporters will move on quickly.

All the current board need to do is wait patiently until the end of the season and appoint a coach to continue the 'process'
It will be someone the public respect or have confidence in getting results and the club will get kudos for it.
Sacking Bolton has just meant that process can go ahead without a lot of noise about results

Although  I am not concerned about the demise of Brendan, what worries me is the way that the public perceive this.  Carlton ruining yet another coaches reputation with the usual rigmarole.  The parallels are there.  This step was never going to be about Brendan specifically.  All anyone is looking at is methodology.  Even Caro, who is usually happy enough to throw stones at Carlton stated on FC on monday that we probably should have cut Brendan Loose last season.

The methodology surrounding this is a little too similar to what many perceive is our footy clubs modus operandi, and as a result, its issues surrounding stability, and giving people the appropriate tools to do their job.


Particularly when you look at the playing list he has ended up with.  This year looked from the get go to be a challenging one.
