Worth listening to IMO - a very well presented, transparent, clear and consistent message touching on many key points discussed in this thread.

So lucky to have such a steadfast and intelligent person guiding the rebuild.

God those questions... if I had to deal with questions every week from such incompetent people I'd go crazy.

You'd be entitled to too.

However, Bolton has a job to do and that is to keep supporters happy - using the media as a conduit. I think he is getting better at doing it - I really enjoy teh fact that Bolton is a Club first type personality and he is never critical of individual players - always talks 'team'. Given time, he has every chance to replicate the Clarkson type longevity and (hopefully) success for the Club, created by Clarkson.

If you recall Judd mentioned an interesting thing about Bolton to Caro the other night - he stated that Bolton was the most ambitious person he had ever come across in AFL or words to that effect. I like the fact that Bolton is driven and committed.

His handshake deal with the Club is indicative of very high integrity.

I just need to say how lucky are we to have Bolton and SOS steering our ship? I couldn't care less if we struggle to win another game this year. Listening to Bolton's presser about staying the journey and playing the kids is bloody exciting. When these kids start growing it will be sustained success..

Another?

Does anybody understand why Neil Craig wasn't replaced with another senior assistant?

Seems pretty elementary that a third year, young coach, that hasnt played at the elite level himself should have experienced heads around him.

Not Bolton bashing, just think he needs experienced guidance around him

They slightly changed the structure, but Cameron Bruce was brought in as a senior assistant.

And Bruce's claim to fame? Another ex-Clarkson assistant.

Kicked 7 goals against us at the MCG in 2004.

Kicked 7 goals against us at the MCG in 2004.

It's getting to the stage of 'who hasn't kicked 5+ against us.

Darling to go to town on us this weekend as we crap our pants over Josh.

I recall a similar handshake deal with Costa and Thompson

Very well said mate.

Unfortunately, I agree with Greg. Can’t believe I do but the Kangaroos game was the biggest light bulb moment for me.

It's red meat for the misinformed.

We have been poor this year and we do need to win games, however his points are poorly constructed and easily debunked.

Substantially easier to introduce 1st year players when you have 200+ quality gamers on every line ......

He couldn't organise a fart in a curry house, let alone construct a valid argument. Injuries have curtailed any progression that was expected and we were under no illusion as to the magnitude of the rebuild.

That's a genuinely terrible article. East Coast Pidgeons, comparing our rebuild to the one he claims Geelong have supposedly undergone during Scott's reign as coach, cherry picking stats about player game averages, etc.

 

[TooBlue14]

Paywall. Quotes plz.

Compared our rebuild to Geelong. Stating Geelong have played more kids than us and beat port. Less 100 game players. More under 50. Still winning. Reckons our 10 point loss to the “east coast pidgeons” was nothing and that the 10 extra misses made it close not us. All this is paraphrasing as I can’t click it again as I’m being paywalled too. Called Bolton’s program full of excuses. They are piling up and his “school” program is basically shit.
