2017 Rd 2 Pre Game Panic Carlton vs Melbourne

[kruddler]

I hear you and get you and understand where you are coming from.
But we are coming from SO FAR back that any positive no matter how small we seem to cling to.
Our stock of good players is as thick as tissue paper so if a player can pull some boots on, take marks and kick goals then he is a legend.
Other teams are able to pick up some knob at pick 45 and he turns out as a first 22, built like a brick st house and a 100 game match winner, I mean WTF. We pick up a top 10 player and he plays 15 games and ALWAYS looks like a string bean and couldn't hit the side of a barn door with a bag full of wheat.
Our playing list is so full of weakness and weak spots it is not funny.
SO MANY good picks stuffed up (no F**KING STUFFED UP) by incompetence.
The club we all love wants success but knows F**K all about how to get it. Why do other clubs get it and we don't?
Bolton has brought cohesion and that is all at the moment and with our thin list that is about as much as we can expect.
I understand we are on the road of a rebuild and want it and expect it and support it BUT who ever is left wearing that beautiful Navy Blue Guernsey I EXPECT them as an unconditional requirement they wear it with pride and play with INTENSITY and PASSION AND leave NOTHING on the field.
NOT go through the motion and collect their pay cheque. >

I agree with you about the club as a whole.

In regards to the Casboult part of it, in short, we know what we are going to get from him and it is well below average when compared to his peers.

It's like when we were playing Setanta. He was full of energy, tried his guts out and was a good athlete. However, he simply didn't have footy smarts and/or ability to pick up the nuances of the game.
From where he came from, he did a superb effort. Which brings me to this...

Pick 44 in the Rookie Draft....I reckon Casboult's exceeded expectations
Simon White..same... 56 in the same rookie draft.

Once you are on the list, it doesn't matter where you were taken and if you exceeded expectations, or failed to live up to them. It matters what you can do out on the footy field.
