Sacking him now isn't going to happen
And when and if he does go he should have some company.

Anyway I'm off to the footy to hopefully watch him coach a winning game.

Enjoy the game Lods - I hope your team wins  :)

You may remember that my thoughts on Rattens sacking alingned with yours at the time. Probably a bit harsh, but with all the external pressure, it had to happen.
You would be aware that my thoughts on Malthouse seems contrary to public opinion. In the end, with all the external pressure, it had to happen.
Now....we are starting to get some external pressure on Bolton.
Connect the dots.

Basically we cannot undo what was done in the past. I've been very strong on the fact that the problem has NOT been with the coaches, but with the club as a whole. Partly due to the way it implodes when external pressure starts getting applied....by that vocal minority.

I wish the club had balls to back Ratten in.
I with the club had balls to let Malthouse do what he wanted and actually supported him rather than hang him out to dry.
I hope the club does NOT go through this same knee jerk reaction now.

Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it

So with that in mind, and knowing that the club expected a 3-year draft top up, doing anything other than back Bolton (and a rebuilt club i might add) in, would be absolute madness.

But what if we've finally changed our ways only to, ironically, stay the course with the wrong people on the wrong course?

I'm not saying he has lifetime immunity. But what i'm saying is that now its too soon to change.

You might be the lucky omen, Principal LODS.

If by the second half of the year we're producing the same, or worse, then he's gone and as you so rightly state, so should a few others.

So long as we aren't leaking talent you stay the course.

If we become too impatient then we'll prematurely cause failure irrespective of whether or not it can succeed.

We did the same with ratten which sparked a mass exodus and a rebuild anyway. 

We'll only do the same if we sack Bolton.

I think you should count the seasons hes been coaching again.  Last I checked he took over towards the end of 2015.

Footy Classified tonight  had Chris Judd in the hot seat talking about the clubs woes, Caro and Damian Ferret tried to bait him with Bolton has to go at years end if the present
form line continues but Judd held his ground and played the party line tune that he expects BB to be the coach next year and there after.
Theme was we are all in this together and he knows its a results based business etc etc....his workmates took it easy on him and didnt ask him too many difficult questions but
Caro was the one who probably got the only arrow through the defense when she questioned the development of players like SPS, Harry etc but there want much damage inflicted on C.Judd who plays a very straight media bat...

He actually defended our player development, saying he’s happy with where the kids are, particularly the 4th year players from 2015 draft. Best part was when the development of Harry was brought up, he ripped ‘What, the 2nd best contested marks total ever in the first 3 rounds isn’t good enough for you ?’ LOL!!!

Judd is a good person to have in our corner, because he's smart and won't ever get caught out by peanuts asking supposedly "probing" questions. He's also one of the very few CFC people who have a genuine media presence, with his appearances on FC, regular columns in print media etc.

What works

defence - Liam Jones, Jacob Weitering and Lachie Plowman can hardly be faulted.  These guys are rock solid and supported by Dale Thomas, Kade Simpson and Caleb Marchbank

running, effort, contest, intensity and pressure:

contested marks - 2nd in the competition

rebound 50s - 2nd in the competition

centre clearances - 4th in the competition

contested possessions - 6th in the competition

clearances - 6th in the competition

tackles - 6th in the competition

1 percenters - 7th in the competition
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Judging by the images of a distraught BB being consoled in the rooms by Liddle, and what he said about BB when door stopped today,  I wouldnt have thought so.

You really think Liddle has a say? Once the pokie king has had enough he's gone.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Nah, Judd handled Caro with aplomb.

Yep absolutely.  The thing is he has credibility of being the games best player (at least for a while), and isn't your typical footballer as he speaks eloquently as well as not getting caught up in sensationalism.

I would love to hear what he would have to say about the Ratten situation back then when he was playing.
