What a complete and utter load of crap. You can't ascribe good and bad simply to suit your agenda. Bolton = the scapegoat that keeps on giving.

Baggers, apologies for my ill tempered tone earlier. That was uncalled for. But I think it's simply incorrect to blame the ex coach 10 weeks after he's gone whenever we put in a poor showing, and that applies whether it's Bolton or Attila the Hun

@Baggers

Baggers I honestly believe that we can put the majority of our current problems down to a few physically immature players, poor skill execution by too many, too much poor tackling allowing opposition players to break away and create damaging situations and poor decision making under pressure resulting in punishing turnovers.

It took BB a year to overhaul the MM gameplan.

Our current plight is best summed up by one passage of play from early in the game.  Kick in.  Plowman goes to the pocket hits up Daisy.   Daisy passes it to Simpson who has it at half back.  Simpson elects to go inboard to the corridor to hit Setterfield.  Misses the target and a Richmond player standing inside the corridor of Setterfield is able to waltz into 50 and kick the goal quite easily.

Baggers I honestly believe that we can put the majority of our current problems down to a few physically immature players, poor skill execution by too many, too much poor tackling allowing opposition players to break away and create damaging situations and poor decision making under pressure resulting in punishing turnovers. We have too many players atm that struggle to maintain any kind of composure under pressure. Teague's and SOS's immediate challenge is to rectify this by trading/recruiting more skilled mature players and existing player development. When these key areas have been addressed then the game plan, in game coaching moves and tactics will become critical factors for success. Until then we will continually dragged back - we can't really build until we get the foundations right.

Too true, Fluffy One, though I don't think we're far off. Unfortunately we also seem to take a passenger or 3 into games which is to be expected with our list rebuild probably still this year recruiting and next from being complete. We convert with those few shots on goal early in the last and the game could have been very different... which comes down to taking full advantage of your opportunities which we've both pointed out, as has DT.

Are we intending to make a statement about that last goal or simply shut up.  If it's good enough to call for a goal review then the same damned thing MUST apply to that.

Lang was horrendous yesterday, for me if we have a spot for that type of player it's either Lang or Fasolo, just one spot, and for me watching the VFL yesterday Fasolo should be well ahead of Lang. Fasolo actually puts his body on the line yesterday! I would have had him among our better players in the VFL.

Agree, you'd think in a better team, or our team with a stronger midfield, Fas still offers value as a depth player.

Lang? Piss him off quickly.

I'd delist both of them.......you think of Fazzy boy out there yesterday vs the Tigers...no thanks.

No problemo Pauly. To further clarify, I wasn't blaming BB for the loss. It took BB a year to overhaul the MM gameplan. It'll take the next coach of the CFC time to 'retrain' the players to his style. I was merely trying to point that out but perhaps I wasn't clear enough.
