Oh goody.  A thread to shitcan Carlton to detract from our own abysmal situation.  Carry on.

He is rivaling Barry Prendergast as the most inept recruiter in history.

You really have no idea do you, deciding whether to pull the trigger when there is another human being in front of you, enemy or not, bears no resemblance to deciding whether to tackle a player or not

I honestly feel for Bolton, and from reports he had a good relationship with the players. Unfortunately when it came to game day performance they just could not translate that into a winning performance. 

Bolton will get snapped up next year.

Interestingly Cameron Bruce was one of his assistant coaches this year and was rated extremely highly by Clarkson. Wonder what happens to him also.

It's a toss off up between Carlton and Essendon for my most hated team

The AFL can send them both to Tassie ( or further south) for all I GAF. 

Now, now Bitter we should not litter poor Tassie with such scum.

FWIW I can see Carlton getting a PP this year to compensate for their stupid trade. 

Probably a end of first round so not too many teams kick up a fuss... 

Totally agree. League will manipulate it so they get PP first pick in draft to compensate for their trading stuff up last year. Watch the media get on board and start pushing for it. 

SOS should go with Bolton of course, has recruited poorly outside of their blue chip kids, but he’s a sacred Carlton cow and will stay. 

The GWS rejects recruiting policy was SOS’ baby and has been a disaster.

The second I saw the trade go through you could just feel that Carlton already had an under the table agreement with the AFL if/when the trade went belly up, this could be one of the reasons SOS is kept out of the spot light. 

The first ever live trade, all the attention the trade will get through out the year as Adelaide climb the ladder and Carlton well, stay where they are, think about all the articles and media attention this deal has/will get?

The jungle drums are beating of the prospect that Bolton might get the chop.

While i have always felt that Bolton was the right man for the job coming from the Hawthorn environment, i am bewildered that the blow torch is not on their list manager SOS.

Right now they would be laughing with pick 1 in their pockets sewn up, but traded it during the draft period to adelaide who currently have pick 1 now.

Over the years SOS hes brought in VFL standard players to fill in list position. The names of Jarrod Pickett, Rhys Palmer, Alex Fasolo, Cam O' Shea, liam Sumner, Aaron Mullett, Andrew Phillips, Tom Bugg, Matt Shaw, Daniel Gorringe, Sam Kerridge, Billy Smedts, Kristian Jacksh, Hugh Goddard and Matt Kennedy are just some of the names that he has stockpiled with and that have been unsuccessful. 

With those names that he has bought in surely he has to come under the microscope?

Totally agree with you on this and you can add quite possibly his biggest mistake of all from last year - overrating his squad and going for the Liam Stocker. That deal has not only cost them Matt Rowell (how good did he look for Vic Metro on Saturday) but also quite possibly Clarkson, who was rumoured to be close to agreeing to the switch post-season. 

SOS can look back on a career that saw him named full back of one century and worst recruiter of the next century.

And amazingly he had the gaul to give Bolton the cold shoulder when he didn't play his son earlier this season.

At least he did have a great eye for talent when he chose his wife!

Don't let their tanking fool you,  'CJK'.

... they couldn't wait until the Mid-Season draft  paseed buy.

 

Now the  'merry-go-round'  begins in earnest...  and we will start to see the real truth take shape.

I would prefer a guy like Bolton to McArtney as Goodwin’s assistant. We need some fresh ideas and as others have said Bolton comes with Clarkson pedigree. He’ll be a great assistant once again for whoever nabs him.

Did he keep those ‘fresh ideas’ under lock and key whilst he was at Carlton?

Get Bolton to the Dees. We need some new ideas in the footy department, and Bolton knows Clarko Footy.

Not a silly idea  'TT',  I reckon.

He's a teacher of kids,  just not a coach of men,  imv.   And he knows that list like the back on his hands. 

They will be a powerful list,  in a short time.

Neeld was seen as a teacher instead of a coach as well. Plenty of similarities between he and Bolton. I’d stay well clear of the ‘teacher’ types.

Carlton spooked by North pulling the trigger on Scott. Don't want to be out of the race by holding on.

How do you know,  they don't already have him locked away ?

He’s a good assistant with a schoolteaching background. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t have fresh ideas - it just didn’t translate into the top job. He’s not a leader of men into battle. He’s a cuddler. A 2IC. Good cop to the bad cop.

I'm not aiming this at the senior team,  'ET'.   But to teach/support our younger players,  as they enter the club. 

He doesn't have to be head coach of Casey...  and certainly not Melbourne.

...................................

 

And seriously, I can't draw any comparison between Neeld and Bolton...

One was needed to crack a rotten soft club open  like an egg, to to break it's cultural hold...  and rebuild it's mind-frame, like the Army does with it's incumbents. He wasn't allowed to get there to that point because of lacking faith in the concept.

 

  ... the other was a nursery school teacher for a club in infancy... whilst they're business model,  was to cast a wide-net as possible,  to capture as many infants as they could muster...  until they thought they could take the world by storm.

 

Lets just see now how they go,  in the following 12 months time.

They want Leigh Matthews. FMD

Is this a red herring ?

Matthews would do a great interim job,  for 2 Yrs.   But this might be just a distraction from the obvious,  connecting of Scott and the timing.

You don't want a bull moose personality as an assistant. Bolton would bring heaps of IP.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
