The heading "bush master... Sheedy launches Farmer's clash" is on the back page of the small paper - had to read it twice, initially thought it read "bullcrap master... Sheedy launches Farmer's clash".
The arrogance of that mob is deadest unbelieveable.

This stuff is no accident, the loss of all Friday night football, the re-establishment of EFC marquee games, the increased travel for Carlton. The AFL, the AFL media and the AFL as an industry is dominated by old boys / past players. It all confirms the rumors I have heard about an anti-Bolton bias in existence, many are rumored to be really bitter about him getting he job ahead of past players. Although it is also rumored the clubs and the AFL want him to succeed primarily as a cost reduction measure, they are powerless to assist because past player influence is endemic across all aspects of the AFL.
If it's true it will cost Bolton his job in the long term, he faces the same issue and Brittain. Bolton is on a hiding to nothing and Carlton cannot really win this battle! You can write the reports now as soon as there is a Carlton stumble, is the coach's lack of playing experience the issue, can you win a flag with a coach who has never played the game at the highest level, does the coach really understand what is needed on the MCG in Sept!
