Hatred is a darn emotive word - and knowing your form, chosen quite deliberately.

Fact is any Club can put only up with bad losses for so long - Bolton's chances are becoming fewer....

Ha, thats a laugh.

Perhaps you would've preferred 'Crock'?

Sorry, mate, very poor logic.

Carlton's players < Collingwood's players. Harder to coach Carlton. Not too much wrong with that.

Pls reflect on your response.

Good press conference from Bolton.

Little tiresome the 'sack the coach' rhetoric. Some smarter decisions and some better kicking would have seen us win. We are getting better very slowly and its frustrating to keep racking up the losses, but this is a long game. Turning over the players we have is going to take a long time to bear fruit.  Not sure how the howlers from our experienced players an be laid at the feet of the coach.

Murphy and Simpson need to go now.

Please God make this happen.

That last kick from Murphy typifies Murphy as a player. F##k me a dribble kick from 40 metres out? Genius! Marc, just retire. You're now embarassing yourself...
Drugs are bad, mmmkay...

I think the sky is falling actually and I’ve been a huge advocate for BB but there are massive problems down CFC land.

Don’t worry about Murphy’s miskick At the end, we were 20 points up in the third and had it in our f50 multiple times with not even a behind!

There was a really stupid deliberate that I think Newman did, really obviously - like mate we can all f’ing see you tap the ball very deliberately over the line! Then that last passage down to the Suns I knew they’d have loose players because we never MAN THE screw UP! Ever!  Why?! Why can’t we do this fundamentally easy thing???

English beat Grundy on Friday night, he's very promising

Grundy won the tap count 58-6, although that doesn"t always mean alot. Pies won the centre clearances 10-7 and overall 33-26. Grundy had 23 touches 4 marks, 8 tackles, English 17 touches, 6 marks, 6 tackles so didn't necessarily beat him but around the ground he acquitted himself well against top opposition.

Anyway, we digress.

Poor decision but calling for his retirement now is a complete overreaction. He may well feel like retiring but we need him playing well. I'd like to see him spend more time forward.

3 wins from 36, 0-4, loss to the GC, rudderless, structureless, poorly drilled, game plan still don't know what it is. Hate to say it, that's coaching and that record is diabolical 4th year in. Something has to change there. Can't defend that $hit. Not as if the side is too bad now. Coach is getting nothing out of them.

But you've just read pages of people complaining about poor decisions and skill errors that cut across instructions from BB. His press conference makes it clear that the players are not doing what they've been asked.

The issue is that BB cant simply drop the underperformers because there's SFA to promote from the VFL.

I'm not happy with our current predicament, but it is what it is and changing the coach will set us back.

We're finding new ways to play terrible football. Why?

Yep...Grundy murdered him in the ruck but the Dogs kid is impressive in terms of his attack on the ball and ground skills, Kreuzer should dominate but how many years do we have left in Kreuzer?

Jimbo.

Would you prefer a side that wins 2 games in say 10 where you get belted in the other 8.
or
A side that is in every game but can't quite get over the line.....but has no ceiling on the amount of improvement.

With the first one, you're a pretender who gets lucky.
With the second one, you're a battler whose time is coming and could turn the corner any second.

Your focus is on one thing, wins and losses. You need to look beyond that. Perhaps you think we should bring back Pagan? He gave us more wins, but we were largely more irrelevant then.
