JLT game 3

[PaulP]

The impression that you get is often based on your own opinions and expectations.

Ask anyone who has been around this site long enough and they will know my distaste for Pagan.
Doubt anyone would say the same about Ratten.
Most people opinions are incorrect when it comes to my feelings on Malthouse too.

Point is. Don't assume. Ask.

FWIW, Bolton has been nothing but encouraging so far. I'm backing him in for the long haul. I am not surprised by the (lack of) performance of the team thus far in the JLT series and am in no way calling for his head.
I am slightly disappointed with the (lack of) effort that has been put in thus far, but in all honesty, it isn't all that different from the tail end of last season. The same part of the season that most people seem to ignore when talking about expectations for this year.

Having said that, Bolton still has a few hoops to jump through and is still largely unproven.

We'll see how different the regular season is compared to practice matches and it'll give a bit of an insight into what to expect.

The confusion arises because you've been far too strident and vehement in your pro Mick comments - you need to be more balanced, like me.
