Sticks is gunna do a bio interview on SEN in a few minutes
I once had an argument with someone (fellow Carlton supporter) who couldn't fathom how the Echuca Football Club could be named the Bombers without sharing the scum colours.

Final episode of The Journey S2 on Thursday.
Thanks for that Snippett. Can't wait for this now and that's a pretty impressive statement from Neil Craig right there.

Bolts could not have a better endorsement than those words from Neil Craig. Very impressed.
A drinking game based on standard Bolton responses to interview questions could put you into a drunken stupor very quickly.
Bring back Rogers!
I miss the days of our employees telling everyone we're looking to get rid of certain players and therefore get basically nothing for them.
And not being able to trade pick 11 for McLean fast enough.
ha ha. So on the mark.
Laidler, Betts, Waite, Robinson, Garlett all gone for virtually nothing.
Great work Rogers and Hughes.
Must have been great interview with Bootsma too, to determine quality of his character, before they drafted him ..
For all the faults that Hughes and Rogers had, I am not sure you can blame them for the poor return for outgoing players or the trading.ha ha. So on the mark.

Bolts on RSN Breakfast this morning:-
Serious? I don't 100% blame them in the Malthouse era but Kane Lucas over Talia when Talia was there for the taking FFS... Unforgivable.Yeah, I'm sure they had a strategy - Just not for the betterment of the Team.
There is no doubt the that poor choices on incoming players like Menzel, Lucas, Watson,Boots left the club in the position it is now in, Trading out players for nothing and over paying for McLean is on McKay and the Coaches
Yeah, I'm sure they had a strategy - Just not for the betterment of the Team.
You're kidding? Best interview he's given I reckon. Very open and didn't go on with the usual rhetoric (apart from 1 'Reset')...
Things I gleaned from it;
- Draft focus: Ball-winners for Contested Possession - suggested a strong focus on Inside Mids
- Reconfirmed that they would Draft 'Young Talent' and be open to trading for 'Young Talent' only - with the exception of Trading in older players 'If they have good Leadership Qualities' (These first two points I read as heavily suggesting we will get Rockliff if we can get a good deal)
- Elaborated on the Whole Gibbs scenario - said that he is under contract and definitely a wanted player has no issues within the club, last year was about getting back around family for convenience, but loves CFC and is happy here. Same thing suggested about this years exit interview.
- Said he definitely wanted Daisy to Play on - just a matter of getting his contract details finalized with his manager
- Gave a good insight on the Young Player development - Less focus on training load during the week and more of a focus on getting real Game-time into them to 'Mentally Toughen' them as quick as possible (Bartel was impressed with this strategy)
- Said that Liam Jones' speedy development in Defense was a surprise , but developing swingmen was a focus, just that they would spent weeks in the same position (at either end) whilst still young and developing (eg. Weitering) rather than changing every week as needed
- Said the Exec Footy dept regularly had open discussions about developments in the club. (Nothing about Trigg Leaving)
- Endorsed JB for GC coaching position.
...Apart from the first two points which was pretty direct I thought
EDIT: Pretty much rules out Rayner & Cerra - Draft focus will be more like LDU or Dow is my guess

Best thing from the lot. Sounds easy enough, but we saw that in the way Bolton handled Weitering.
Bad habits compound and then spread. Confident Bolton can keep things in check here.
"Liam had a Growth Mindset" I like the line.
