Should Carlton axe Brendon Bolton?

Its not #$@! good enough. To watch another belting to a half baked North Melbourne side was just down right depressing. How long can we keep making excuses after excuses that we are still in rebuild mode. Its not #$@! good enough. The way we played today was a disgrace. I have followed the Blues for forty years and I'm at the point now where I think I will just go surfing and forget the #$@% footy. Bolton, after 4 years, surely you could do better than throw us the same old cliques in a after match press conference after a loss. I'm fed up with this #$@%.

They won a game - quick sign Bolton up for another 4 years!

How stupid does this question look now! Just another media "crisis" campaigner....

They don’t face half the issues the Lions do because they are Heartland Club. The Lions rather picking the best player available now have to try and Drafts mates in attempt to keep them at the Club. The fact the Lions have managed to grab Neale this year is good sign but offset straight away by Beams returning home. The Lions list still has massive holes in ability wise and argue very hard to fix the pull home to heartland states is so strong. Look at the mess the Suns are right now. GWS has only sustained its competitive ness from all the extra Draft concessions they’ve had.

I think Charlie probably being impacted by comparison. I think McKay made some serious leaps this year which probably means Charlie looking that he’s not having the impact he may have had last season. I actually think a more attacking thinking coach would do wonders for the Blues because they have a pretty good forward line.

Well think it would be pretty obvious that negative Bolts can’t start with only 3 forwards and 9 backmen like he often did last year at Centre bounces. There would be some variance to stats at either end for sure. The rankings would be an interesting indicator to overall affects of the 6 6 6

No, the Carlton mess he inherited is as bad as Fagan's with Brisbane. It is similar to Brisbane's mess its going to be a long process to fix. I don't think changing the coach will fix any of Carlton's on field playing issues.

Most the GWS players?

They are definitely top heavy. 4 ruckman size players in the team Mc Kay, Lobbe/Phillips, Casboult and Jones. This deprives the team of another running player which impacts on their ability to run out a whole game and hence reduces their chances of winning. I have been saying this on social media for several years now. Seemed to me to be a reasonable and constructive criticism but instead I have been hounded, scorned and accused of disloyalty for not following the orthodox club 'rebuilding' line. Consequently, I am losing interest in this club and its lame excuses

Would have to say improvement under Bolton has not been evident and some of that could be down to his match day coaching. He is not an experienced coach. However, recruitment has generally been ok with some not so good selections. Some draft selections have been wasted eg most of the players picked up from the Giants have not come through. Would have been better to secure rookies. Would give Bolton til end of 2020 then, pending performance, either replace him or impose strict KPIs which if not met result in his replacement.

The fact that Carlton weren't 'gunna win' any of those games is why Bolton should be sacked.

Yeah, Weitering. If at some point you think he might want to head north, we can help.

No, not exactly a whole decade. But as the Dylan song goes; “It ain’t dark yet......but it’s gettin’ there”.

Yeah that’s what I thought Matti. Tim was not quite as bad as Walls but nearly .

None of the blues young players have come close to coming out of contract, if there was real concerns we would at least some of these players getting in to the last years of their contract before extending. It could happen, but it could happen at any club

People seem to only remember Charlie's highlights from last year and forget the number of games he had less tha 10 disposals or went goalless. If Sunday is the worst game he plays all year I will be happy.

Stats after 4 rounds are a useless but sacking a coach based on 4 rounds is valid? And give the 6-6-6 rule is redundant within about 30 seconds of the bounce how exactly does it impact all stats?

I think they like Stockers leg further up the ground

Carlton have always been divisive and as Macca says are a big club, thing about big clubs is they will always get big attention, it's been that way since the beginning of time, bigger a sporting club is the bigger the sales / clicks will be and greater the division between their fans and others. The thing is handling it without blaming others.

They probably know that they are going to get plenty of comments from Carlton supporters and haters.
