Carlton vs Brisbane Practice Match

[kruddler]

I'm perfectly aware of his record, having seen it printed on here 18,000 times. Looking at who has the worst record, second worst, third worst is irrelevant in the context of this discussion. If you showed a person the records of all our post-Brittain coaches and nothing else, the logical conclusion would be that they were all sh1t coaches. And before you complain about me not focussing on Bolton's qualities as a coach, him not being tested at other clubs etc., the circumstantial evidence to compare him favourably with other failed coaches, is in my view, overwhelming.

Compared to Ratten? I don't think so.

Compared to 2 ageing coaches who retired after we ruined them? Thats up for debate.

You love Bolts, we all know that.

I said the moment he was sacked that he will get another coaching gig, at least as an assistant, and was laughed at. Didn't take long did it.

That being said, you simply can NOT ignore his record. You can't.
You can say his record would not have been that bad had he not been at Carlton, and you would find people who agree with you.

But if you think Bolton is blameless in his time at Carlton you are extremely naive.....or Bolton is.
Here is where you say he was just doing as he was told...
Here is the part i say that if he failed to realise that the odd win was important for his team and his career then he is simply not cut out for AFL football.

Whether he was incapable of getting wins, or he thought his job did not require them, then either way he was not up to being an elite AFL coach.
