I don't want to dance on the grave of the dearly departed but I am sure there is truth to the criticisms of Bolton. We will see today if the forward structuring improves. However I am not sure that bears fruit until the midfield is competitive

Talk about taking a few words and making a novel out of it. All for the sake of putting the knife into a dead man.
So are we now saying its fair for assistants to buck the system?
What happens if Amos doesnt like Teagues new ways for example. Is it going to be all fair game.
No of course it isn't.
The coach is the boss and Teague has proven well and truly that he knows this.
I know it's easy to kick Bolton while he's down but Teague just made some simple coaching changes which Bolton didn't do.
Neale was dominating so he puts our best defensive midfielder onto him, Curnow smashed him after half time.
Forwards were leading to space, very little confusion and we actually took marks inside 50. Charlie looked like a key forward for once.
Midfielders lowering the eyes, short entry passes, not being rushed. Not always bombing it to whoever is isolated in the goal square.
Taking advantage of momentum and playing on at all costs, using the corridor.
These are the simple things that Bolton just couldn't do
I think we can score a lot more if we can get it in there a lot quicker.”
I don’t see why not. Clarkson, Roos and Lyon were all first time AFL coaches at one point.
I heard the exact same thing about Bolton a couple of years agoBolton and Teague didn’t agree on forwards structures and was very stubborn coach.
Gibbons played half forward with some rotation in the second half. Not sure he was at a single centre bounce? Fisher was also largely played as a high half forward for the second and third quarters.Even when we were six goals down you could see the way we were trying to play. Bolton would have to be the worst coach I have ever seen. Paralysed the team with overcaoching , and so stubborn.
Surprise, surprise - Gibbons plays in midfield and he looks a talent, move the ball fast and our tall fwds looks dangerous. Just defies belief Bolton didn't see this as such simple solutions.
Kudos to David. With young team you have to let them play.
