12 of their best 22 were out injured? I don't think so.

I didn't read where he said 12 senior players were out. But it would be interesting to compare the sides Bolton had to work with, compared to the GF winning side...

Eade has an impressive resumé. I like Bolton, but would be extremely happy with Eade. Would still like Bolton in the club.

As much as I wasn't a fan of Bluey I defiantly think Soloman would be a step backwards. If Eade is there man they should just go after him like we do in trade period. Screw the interview process. I'd be rapt to have Eade at the club.

KB has little credibility in his takes and always gets them wrong. FWIW Eade is the "worst" choice that we are considering, I'd rather go for a new coach (ie Bolton) that Eade.

Id like to hear your insight into why you think he is wrong for us. His credentials seem fine. What do you see as the problem?

1. Arguably Chris Scott in his debut year was a bit of a passenger in 2011.
2. Ross Lyon is one of the best modern day coaches that can't seem to win a premiership. There's also an argument that John Longmire had the goods this year, too (named AFLCA).

Look at the opposition played during those 5 weeks. I could have coached the reigning premiers to win most of those games.

Correct ...... He's still a utensil though.

I think most of those who want an experienced coach are thinking ...
A coach is no good for US RIGHT NOW if he hasn't had success.
Not to say that's the right way, but it's definitely the reason I am sceptical about someone who hasn't been successful yet.

Look at the opposition we played in our last 5 games. In both cases, it was the coaches mental preparation of the players that won OR LOST the game.
That's what separates Bolton from every candidate. Young, smart, likeable, .....and trained, skilled in subconscious mental preparation of athletes. Do a google on his interview on 360. Look and listen when he was asked where he did his teacher swap....in 'northern England' . WTF?

For once I fully agree with you.

Has the credentials but he's a bit of a loose canon. Flies off the handle with players (Barassi style) and doesn't always handle the media well (Malthouse style).
Just think he's not the right fit for Suns and the way / style they play and personnel available.
Wouldn't be upset if it's him, but I would probably prefer an untried like Bolton to Eade. I know that sounds contradictory but I think he would be a better fit than Eade at this club.
Other clubs with different style and culture??? I'd probably go with Eade (eg. Collingwood, North, Freo.)

It was mentioned in media by the Suns of co-coaches while I was in the gulag.
Bolton and Eade would be the perfect 'yin and yang' . A very powerful combining of minds. Extremely exciting possibility.
out of date and will be haunted by his previous inability to win the big one as a coach

I take it nothing 'big' happened?
Bolton, Dew or Bomber - I think Bolton would gel with our young list probably the best to get the most out of them Bomber has the most WOW factor and Stewie Dew is an unknown BUT played and won in two GF's so he likes the big stage how that translates to coaching is another matter in reality Don't want Ratten or Eade

There's a thread on the Pies board discussing that Mark Stevens reported that Rocket Eade has flown to GC to be interviewed.
I cant find where Mark Stevens reported Eade was coming up for an interview...
