Re: Goaltracker 2019 Reply #45 – May 21, 2019, 11:36:15 am Quote from: PaulP – on May 21, 2019, 09:19:33 amYes, it's a hard sell, the slow rebuild. Clearly media and certain supporters (and maybe others) are getting very fidgety.It's a spectrum thing.At the start we had strong views 'for and against' the process and a centre who were prepared to see where it was heading.You'll get folks who are naysayers from the start.I'll put my hand up for that.(Again I'll state....that's not anti Bolton, it's anti process)You'll also get folks that will 'stick fat' until there is success or ashes.The problem for a club occurs when you start to lose the centre…I have a feeling that's what's happening now and the only way to prevent that is not through honorable losses but by winning games.

Clearly media and certain supporters (and maybe others) are getting very fidgety. Slow rebuild doesn't mean you are 4 from 41 4th year in. Slow rebuild means progressing up the ladder by the 4th year. Any idiot, even those of the highest order, knows that. Be unacceptable in a 2nd year, let alone a 4th. At some point you expect progress. where is it. Wonder how many people thought we'd be 1-8 this year? Judd said last night he didn't see us at 1-8 at this stage. No one at the club, or anywhere else, expected Adelaide to be getting pick 1. Carey said last night he's just about to give up on Bolton, and he has been saying how talented our young list is. Said what we are producing is unacceptable. Quote Selected

Re: Goaltracker 2019 Reply #53 – May 30, 2019, 09:47:12 am McGovern has been criticised for lack of impact but he is hitting the scoreboard. If he can stay on the park, he could realistically pass Charlie’s 2018 total.The spread of goalkickers is promising, particularly since our forward line coach has plenty of work to do to achieve anything like cohesion from our forwards.

Not that it's a bad thing, but it's not the same as mids kicking goals.My measure will be when midfielders start scoring by working forward as part of their midfield rotation, like when you watch Ablett Jnr charge forward out of the square to kick a goal or to rove a F50 marking contest, not when the mids resting in the forward pocket or playing as small lead up forwards!

Admittedly he didn’t spend a lot of time there in the first couple games but his midfield minutes have ramped up since then. Same with Gibbons. I guess you could argue that half of Ed’s goals were scored when he was playing forward rather than working forward. Quote Selected

Will we be a higher scoring team? Will our defence hold up?How will the percentages compare?The last two weeks results will mean that this initially will look good in comparison.
