Yep! Not sure which thread it was, but did mention a few weeks back that we shouldn't forget Bolton's contribution to where we are now.

He turned the players into students and changed the culture in one! The fact that this coaching group is able to quickly to implement what they have been wanting to implement and players absorbing the instruction and information like sponges is an attribute to Bolton.

He was the perfect coach at that time.

Also need to recognise Teague.

Bolts created green shoots
Teague dumped a heap of cow shit on the green shoots

Now Vossy gets to reap the rewards of the very well fertalised lawn

Yep, that mate of mine noted he has brought down Mumford a few times in tackles, which none of Sydney’s other mids could do.

Impressive. His guns make Cripps look like he’s still developing

 

[David Sylvian]

Just watched Voss speak to the media about sundays game, looks totally relaxed to the point where the person using the metal grinder 50ms away kept interrupting and he just had a little smile to himself. I could imagine some poor bugger being dispatched to silence it.
im sure mv has been in a few showdowns so nothing new for him just an opportunity to see who can perform. Composure, backing the process and your team mates.
Sunday to far away.

Vossy seems to be loving his job and why wouldn't you, going as well as he is.

I have huge respect for voss
Obviously he has matured amd over the crazy vossy stage
But wow
If I were a blues player I’d be like **** me
I need to listen to this guy
He’s done everything in footy
And wow it’s happening guys!

 

[carlton_99]

Barrett just called our injuries a "crisis" on Access All Areas. Guess Weitering was the straw that broke the camel's back for the AFL media to finally mention it

What’s working: The Blues are brutal in the midfield, an area that had been a weakness but is now their major weapon. The arrival of George Hewett and Adam Cerra, and continued improvement of Matthew Kennedy, have brought the best out of Patrick Cripps

’s effort to not only return to the game but be a key player has been pivotal to the Blues’ rise. Adam Saad deserves to be in All-Australian considerations for his ability to shut down his opponent and rebound. Carlton have displayed newfound resilience and maturity to fend off late charges and hold on in several games
What’s not: They’re running out of room in the casualty ward at Princes Park. Eight members of the team from round one missed round 11. Six of them have significant injuries, including bookends Jacob Weitering and Harry McKay, and ruckman Marc Pittonet. Mitch McGovern

and Caleb Marchbank still can’t get a run at it, leaving their key defensive stocks almost exhausted. Their second-half fadeouts have not cost them a game, though have eaten into their percentage. Team defence has improved but remains a work in progress. Jack Martin

Matthew Lloyd clearly rates us. In his list of best players this season so far he has Cripps at 1, Weitering at 4, Curnow at 8 and Walsh at 20.

Surprised how high he rates Weiters. Says he is the best key position player in the game.
