Re: If Not BB, Who? Reply #256 – April 14, 2019, 10:17:07 am Quote from: kruddler – on April 14, 2019, 09:57:32 amYou 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 itSo 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?

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.

Re: If Not BB, Who? Reply #261 – April 15, 2019, 11:40:56 pm 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 presentform 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 butCaro 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...

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!!! Quote Selected

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.
