[reubsblues]

Amos interim.

Roos with Sam Mitchell next to him.

And Luke Hodge and Nick Riewoldt

 

[FairKouta]

Welcome back Home Ratts. Boo Yeah.

Sensible? Arr0w has been copping shyte for being delusional.

I have never read one single post from Arrow that suggests anything except realism. Don't confuse lack of 'entitlement syndrome' with delusion - and I don't think it is a good thing for people to personally attack posters for having a view that is consistent and rational.

 

[Bluebag13]

I just noticed this. How in the hell is Scott Burns not on this list but Walls and Hird are?

 

[JustaBattler]

Not a personal attack at all don't get so sensitive.

He has a clear agenda to defend the club at all costs and that is blinding his judgement. It's admirable but I'm glad he's not in charge of the club.

Soapy and Arrow have copped a fair bit of personal attacks on here - disagree with their logic and reasoning if so inclined but labeling people as 'delusional' is insulting I would have thought. I think you will find that some people like myself are as angry about what they are seeing every week as everyone else- but they dont let such feelings get in the way of rational discussion.

I would love to find the sack Hardwick and Buckley threads

When you do arrow, can you check their track record before they came good. I’d be interested to know if it’s worse than 4 wins from 40 games.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Come on down Crazy Vossy.

 

[Bluey24]

This is a sad day

If Bolton gets the boot, they better show him the utmost respect - good human

 

[one_twelve112]

Bolton sacked

 

[Aphrodite]

Enough playing the man and targeting posters.

Don't say you weren't warned.

Zero tolerance!

 

[Robbo's my hero]

That’s it for me. See you in the springtime.

Was going to trot out the "unique situation" again in regards to list management. Then stopped and gave it a little more thought.

Gold Coast. Guy McKenna. Coached their first 4 years, then got given the boot with a win/loss record of 24/64.
Bolton is now gone after 3.5 years, with a win/loss record of 16/61.

Still think Bolton had a tougher time of it, with the list getting younger every year as players were culled. But perhaps the evidence was there all along - that an inexperienced coach taking on a "start-up" team isn't going to be able to triumph over the impatience of the industry.

 

[GinTonic]

Shame, really liked you Bolts. All the best.

 

[Bic]

Good to see the club stick to the plan that was sold to the members 4 years ago. Gutless as usual. Nothing has changed.

 

[COBALT BLUE]

Ratten.....should be ok
has the backs of the boys

Heard of Caracella
might be good.

 

[PAFC_1870]

You can take Bassett.

Can take Voss and Hinkley too

 

[COBALT BLUE]

Come on down Crazy Vossy.

Will he just maybe mess things?

are you sure

Ratten better for CFC

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Cannot confirm but that's what I've been told.

I know, I'm scared too...

I saw Caracalla at a kids game next to where we were training for Gaelic football yesterday morning.

Omen!

 

[kingkingston]

Would love Sam Mitchell, very smart footballer and knowledge of the game is great.

I think this is an indication that, whatever was said publically, the club believed this year would be the start of the climb. Then after some close losses early in the season, the group dropped their heads and the belief seems to have evaporated.

Frustrating to think that mere seconds in the Gold Coast and Hawthorn games could have dramatically changed our current situation.

Somebody made a comment earlier that the two "performances" dished up by the team after a "players only" meeting have been damning, and it's hard to disagree. I don't think the players would have agreed to play shit to get the coach sacked, but I do wonder just what is going through their heads.

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Tried, tested or roll the dice? Clarko would be great. Can't see it happening. Voss or Ratten? Dunno. Mitchell, Mattner, Schofield?

 

[Bostonian]

One of my employees plays footy with Hamish McIntosh and Spud Firrito

I've asked to him to quiz McIntosh on wtf is going on at the club.
What influence does Barker have, does he any incriminating photo's etc
I've also asked him to find out their thoughts on B Scott.

Anyone else got any q's...i'll get him to bombard them!

I was watching McIntosh walking on and off the ground yesterday.

Looked like he couldn't give a crap and wanted to be anywhere but at the game.

Thats how his body language seemed.

 

[kingkingston]

Don't pick Ratten just because you loved him as a player. I know he played for us and coached us before, but he couldn't coach defence to save himself last time he was coach
