Genuinely not interested in winning a great deal, that's why Kerridge, Palmer and Smedts are not in the side. Depends how frequently we get flogged and how much we care about being competitive and winning.

Have some perspective people. We are the Suns and GWS a few years ago WITHOUT the draft concessions.
ALL our kids look good.
It takes time.
Keeping to the message set from day 1 and sticking to the plan.Round 1 is just that.
Rounds 2 and 3 - Bolts out coached his opposite number.
Rounds 4 and 5 - Bolts out coached.
Learning just like his players, he'll analyse himself harder than anyone on here. That I know as fact.
*his pressers are starting to s**t me just a little mind you but he loves staying on message.
Yeah sure for a lazy 50 mill USD,Can we employ this guy ?
Would be great in development and recruiting

I liked the changes in the last quarter and I hope we see more of them.
Weitering back, Docherty in the middle, Gibbs forward, Charlie middle, Rowe forward. All positives
Agree - Don't forget it was only 3 or so years ago Melbourne were beaten by 148 pts by Essendon.
We could have played Kerridge, Thomas, Jones etc tonight and still been beaten by 60 points - which would we prefer.
Go another step and play Mckay, Kerr and Cuningham.
It's one of the few occasions where the club has a chance to address a large portion of the supporter base, and the message has already been delivered ad nauseam.Keeping to the message set from day 1 and sticking to the plan.
That's what we want and I hope we never get off track.
Not to mention a lot of the questions were loaded and looking for an angle to make us look worse.It's one of the few occasions where the club has a chance to address a large portion of the supporter base, and the message has already been delivered ad nauseam.
He's not addressing the players and it's not as though he is saying anything insightful or new - the youth rhetoric is always the first card used to delay criticism for poor performances.
I didn't have a problem with it year one, but given our poor membership numbers the club may do well to give supporters something more insightful given finals are some way off.

Too right. There's only so much you can learn chasing tail all day.Then you'll see more of what you saw on the weekend against Port.
I'm not convinced that's good for the development of any of those young men.
Bolton and Carlton need 100% support now - when it matters. This year and next is bout getting the young players fit enough and experienced enough to play QFL for 4 quarters. Any older players are there to support the mission and that is it.
Pleasing to listen to Bolton on Saturday when he was asked whether the board/admin support him and talk to him.
Bolton replied with something like: "Maybe I shouldn't be saying this, but I've had calls from MLG, Trigg and Kernahan (?) already this morning, acknowledging their full support of me."
Now, we should always be ready to change tack, but we just don't want to see a distancing of coach and board as we did with Malthouse, again.
What a mess the CFC made for itself there.......and again....as it did with Ratten, Rogers......it cost us money.....money we don't have.

We are in the middle of a 66 game rebuild... surely they (the carlton oligarchs) expect a couple of lean seasons there?
We are already a better side - and our forward is evidence of that as we are scoring much higher than we were last year (port game aside).
Carlton coach Brendon Bolton has been given the green light to continue blooding youth, as list manager Steven Silvagni heads to the United States to study cutting-edge recruiting methods in the NFL.
Carlton CEO Steven Trigg defends clubs youth policy..
Good read and may belong in the Media thread....but it is, sort of about Bolton.
As long as the Coach, the CEO, the Board and the Football Department all remain on the same page everything looks good. As soon as one of them waivers, we will have a problem on our hands.
As long as we don't hear from the pokie king I will be happy. Seems to have gone quietYES...................that's it.
Keep the long term view. Change now and we will never make it back to the top in terms or results and/or membership.
IMO what Bolton and Co are doing is right
