2016 - Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond

[Thryleon]

Remember that's according to Fev on a "reality" TV show.

There was never any chance that the club would have gone back on its decision to cut Fev adrift.  There would have been a walkout of players if the club had backed down.

It's also very clear that Betts would have stayed if we had paid him what he was worth and allowed him to play to his ability.

Anyway, we've been over this ad nauseum; the club's recent list management stinks and Laidler's performance on Friday was sad evidence of that  >

DJC I am ensuring that we don't look at these blokes as perfect little soldiers who we got rid of.

They weren't.  Good footballers when they wanted to be and some of them still are.

I place the responsibility for these guys firmly on the club who have not fostered a jumper and team first environment.  Resulting in players doing their own thing and leaving us.

Aside from that, we didn't chase them out, they left for more money, or better chances at a premiership or in some cases simply to get out of our footy club.

It's what we are all here for.  Our footy club, and it's become clear to me that Bolton may be the only coach who has been interested in building for the long term benefit of our club than any coach we have had since parkin and largely because of our footy clubs administration.

The others were too busy looking over their shoulders or patting themselves on the back to put themselves second to our clubs future which Is the underlying reason they all got sacked but that was the environment of our footy club.  All we had yo do was back in the senior coach and the rest would take care of itself.
