Terrific guy and wonderful for the CFC in a difficult time.

Sad to see you go Bolts, but you'd understand. All the best.

 

[bigm386]

Sad day really because it confirms for me as a club we have serious issues and have for a long time. These issues are far bigger than a coach.

Thanks for your effort Bolts. Seems like a stand up guy that gave it his best. If only the whole club had more passion and less self interest.

 

[GinTonic]

All the best in the future Bolts.

 

[Anzac16]

Somewhat sad to see Bolts go. From all we've seen he is an absolute top bloke who loves his footy and cares deeply about wanting to see players grow and succeed. Not entirely his fault that its come to this.

Wish him all the best for whatever he moves onto next.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Did very well in kicking off this rebuild, think he's a terrific human and hope he's successful wherever he ends up.

 

[LanceRomance]

This is very sad, he was very enthusiastic and brought renewed vigour to the club.

It is a shame it has panned out this way

 

[Mr_Plow]

Took on a very difficult job and stayed classy throughout. Not an easy thing to do, great work Brendon.

If, and it is a big if, this list ever reaches great heights, I will remember the foundations.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Sad sad day!! Your a champ bolts u have done wonders for our club!! When our next flag comes along part of it is yours bud!!

 

[F_therest]

I'm hoping this is our version of McCartney -> Beverage, Leppitsch -> Fagan.

The hard list work has been done, we can build from here.
Hopefully our next coach is the right person to instill belief and sound game structures so our talent can shine and rise like the dogs and Brisbane did.

We killed another one, sorry Bolts. It’s time for Liddle and Lloyd to earn their dollars.

Cheers Bolts. All the best.

I'd love to see him in a development role or something. I think he's a wonderful teacher of turning boys into men, it's the game day coaching that has let him down.

 

[Wickzki]

I wasn't his biggest fan but I respected the hell out of the values that he attempted to instill into his players. I still believe that he was the best applicant for the job from those that we know that got shortlisted.

Best of luck Bolts. Sad that his record here will likely mean that he never gets another opportunity.

 

[bigm386]

Mate of mine just sent me a text.

Judged on his inability to turn the GWS reserves into a top 8 side. Made me laugh out loud.

 

[ForYouBlue]

Top shelf human, and that will always mean more than a head coach title.

All the best Brendan Bolton.
I think you built a culture that will be the catalyst for our success and you deserve recognition.

 

[BlueJet]

I had hopes that the club would evolve into a modern day powerhouse under his watch, which sadly has not eventuated.
It is a sad day for the club, it's supporters & for Bolton himself.
He's a good man & I wish him success in whatever comes next for him.

I really really really wanted him to Succeed.

Best of luck on your future endeavours.

 

[FRUMPY]

Feel for him, always had the best for the club mentality rather than protecting himself. But went too far and cost us wins this year by sticking with the kids in the middle and moving likes of Murphy & Ed out of the action.

For me it was the North game (was absolutely pathetic), quickly followed by the GWS game that showed we were in trouble. Then to play ordinary opposition like the saints and bombers and not give a yelp was the final nail. Something had to be done.

Im not expecting any improvement because he has been sacked but maybe players will play with a bit more instinct.

Fair chance whoever takes over will get results quickly due to the work Bolton has done the last 2 years in getting as many games into these kids as he has.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Thanks Bolts. You’ve convinced me about the future for 77 games. Now I’m not so sure. When a person with a record of hard work, good intentions and building relationships gets thrown under the bus then the future is looking bleak. I hope your resilience carries you through until your next challenge.

 

[El Topo]

Bolts took the hits for the club, and his enduring legacy (fingers crossed) will be a driven and united playing group. Salute.

 

[Colonel_Klink]

Vale Bolts, all the best.

 

[GT619]

Thank you Bolton. All the best for the future

 

[gandaal]

I will always admire his passion, dedication, drive and desire to turn this ship around.

Thank you Bolton. Sad to see it end like this.

We have Liddle, Judd and Lloyd on board now who seem to be competent.
Lloyd is new and immediately got us Russell, seen as the best in the business to fix our issue around strength/fitness.

Keen to see how they'll go with appointing a new coaching staff, as imo it's the last key position we are lacking in.
Much more confident in their ability than past regimes - none of them were at the club when we appointed Bolton.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Rarely felt so bad in my life as a Carlton supporter. Never a nicer fellow gave his all for us.
It better be worth it and the blowtorch better go on those who are happy to find a scapegoat be it players or administration.
