If we're going to entrust Bolton the rebuild /reset let him start from scratch.
I used to think it was important to retain players like Gibbs and Murphy to help guide the younger players.
The problem is that these were blokes who(apart from the Judd influence) were given little guidance about just what it takes to make a champion professional footballer due to the mediocrity of the playing group around them so their own "education" was limited as a result
In Cripps and Weitering it looks like we may a couple of natural leaders (at least by example.)
I think we'd lose little by moving most players who've been at the club longer than Cripps on.
They've been part of a pretty tumultuous period that we need a clear break from.
Some like Murphy and Gibbs will still have fair currency and provide us with more as trades than they do if we retain them.
We start with a fresh group, untarnished by the turmoil of our recent past, that Bolton can develop.
agree with this - we are a bottom 4 side and we will win our 5th spoon in 14 years
apart from the Board and any remaining old admin existing under pratt, smorgon and sticks (which should all be wiped away) we should trade all our last remaining assets in murphy gibbs kruez simmo for draft picks and go young and bottom right out like st kilda did in early 2000. we run the risk of putting too much load on the young players - but from 3 games i have more confidence in cripps and no 23 as leaders than the frustrating introverts of jamo murph and gibbs
btw I dont understand why docherty gets raved about
the president must speak to daisy and demand his retirement - come to a financial arrangement to reduce our cap pressure and get him out of the joint
