I think the point he's making is that SOS may have misread the potential of some of these players rather than it just being Bolton being the one that isn't developing them.
None. I dont get the criticism of SOS. Love his balls in doubling down on the players he recruited at GWS who couldnt make it there.Yeah. Which ones did SOS (and our group of recruiters) misjudge.

SOS should have a job for life. Love his work.
Matt Kennedy looks a bustWon just about every trade.

You picked up a number of giants spuds
2e trade as well
Drafting not great either
Really comparing injury lists or quality of players how many of them would actually get a game at Richmond or a contenderMate - Richmon lose Rance, Reiwoldt, Cotchin, Martin and everyone is blathering on about how hard it will be for them - Carlton has had twice that number out for the last two years nearly and not a word about it.
Williamson, Kruzer, Pickett, Marchbank, Docherty, Lang, Curnow, Maccreadie, Tom DeKoning - and thats just this year - we had twice that last year including players like Cripps.
But nah - injuries aren't a concern for Carlton - only Richmond.
I'm not going to back away from the list issues at Carlton - we need another ruck and some small forwards - but the blatant reality is that our coach is a complete hack. Should of been gone at the end of last season.
He appears to be excellent at player development and team "bonding", along with an exemplary grasp of popular vernacular and pithy jingoism but has the tactical nouse of a fruit bat.
I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt after last year with the insane injury list we carried - would have been utterly absurd not to. But the coaching display I have seen this year has been deplorable.
Quite frankly I honestly feel as though he has too much invested in growth and character development, important, but zero invested in reality checks and a few hard truths.
Go on then tell us how they’re all superstars ffsLol. This is some outstanding analysis going on here.
I’d ask you to elaborate but I’m pretty sure that’s just going to be a waste of everyone’s time.
Sos should come under heat for the poor job he has done but carlton fans are unable to call him out on it almost like the cult of hirdI wouldn’t do that, because they’re not.
That all you’ve got?

Gold Coast lost their two captains have lost gaj and Prestia have basically had to start from scratch and top up duds and they were still too strong for Carlton the blues are in shambles
I said he doesn’t get a game over jack or lynch. So not a walk up start which is true he would get some games but we don’t play 3 tallsAgain, there’s plenty of discussion to be had on the topic if you’re capable...
....but this doesn’t give much confidence that you are.
Nor does suggesting Curnow doesn’t get a game at the Tigers but that’s for another day.
The result on the weekend had very little to do with Silvagni.
You’re all over the shop mate.

I was responding to a carlton fan saying sos has won every trade he has done If that’s the focus no wonder there are no wins
They need midfield support for Cripps.
LOB at this stage doesn’t look up to the level and needs a spell in the 2’s. Dow looks like he gets enough of it but burns it with his kicking.
Kennedy looks a solider as a second tier mid. Setterfield looks a contributor but needs time.
Lang is a retread pick, hopefully the last of this rebuild.
Walsh looks quality. Carlton fans have every right to be excited by this guy. Looks a star.
SPS drifts in and out of games. Hopefully he can start to influence them soon.
Cuningham hasn’t really stepped up to the level despite showing something up forward in half paced practice matches.
Gibbons is being played out of position as a forward so we can’t really gauge him. Perhaps Bolton doesn’t rate him in the middle.
And Stocker hasn’t played a game yet but everyone expects him to be a gun - poor bloke, on a hiding to nothing.
Carlton are pinning their hopes on this midfield bunch, but in 2019 they would be the weakest crop in the league.
While they would have expected more from this bunch, as it stands, they won’t be carrying them to many wins this year.
Billie SmedtsYeah. Which ones did SOS (and our group of recruiters) misjudge.
