Very interesting article on the AFL's website.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-22/th...-the-crowd
To say we scored poorly is a profound understatement. We are seriously on the nose, fortunately we have 2019 to rectify this. Much, much, much work to be done!
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

It's going to be an interesting year!
But I'm not sure we can afford to consign ourselves to yet another rebuild under another new coach, so I am keen to see if BB can work with what he's got available, something he seemed to lack last season!

Yep, I reckon BB has 8 weeks.
We need some wins (2-3) and much better defensive efforts.
Guys running around the half back line looking lost while their opponents swarm past won't satisfy.

Is that when Wallsy's first report and scorecard for the board is due?

Doesn't have to follow that new coach means another rebuild, Spotted One. Plenty of senior coaches come in an work with what they inherit and succeed, especially if the list is good (obviously). But it does seem that the Board is giving BB every chance to succeed now... much better list, a fitness guru who he is familiar with, and so on.
But, until I see tangible improvement where it counts (W/L ratio) I'm in the skeptics corner re BB (and would be rapt to be wrong) and there'd want to be significant improvement by mid year or earlier.

Bolts will needs wins early and to end outside the bottom 4 to be any chance of still being at the club in 2020 IMO.

Sorry, if the club is influenced by Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear, then we really do have the wrong people in charge.

When you’re playing Daisy, Lamb and Murphy off Hb, with kpd missing through form and injury and you wonder why the team got smashed each week...?
From 1/2 time game 1 the team was under seige and played accordingly for the year.
