    Whena player like Newman goes from fringe swans to first pick defender at Carlton, it doesn't say much about the list.

    Too many old boys at Carlton. Give Judd and SoS the flick first.

    I can't believe that Bolton is the only one at Carlton who's going to be sacked before the year is out. They had 15 first round draft picks in the side that only scored 33 points on Sunday!

    That could easily be sold as the coach not getting the best out of them. The recruitment of McGovern suggests that they were expecting this group to start coming good this year.

    Boltons had enough opportunity and they dont seem to be getting any better.

    I think the decision to go for such a drastic rebuild will rightly be questioned. That’s SOS territory surely?

    I would love to know the basis on which the Liam Stocker trade was made. And whose head is on the block if they give up a top 2 pick to Adelaide.

    Let’s hope that they turn it around under Teague and climb up the ladder, along with the Demons, leaving Swans in pole position in the draft.

    I always think it’s a bit rough asking a sacked coach to front the media alongside those that gave him the sack. There must be a better way for coach, club and media to get what they want.

    A close friend of mine told me last week that a Carlton insider told him that Silvagni didn't like Bolton at all. I love it how all and sundry in the media reckon Carlton has a good list. (put together by Silvagni)
    Was walking down Smith St Collingwood this arvo and guess who was walking the other way.....none other than Ross Lyon. Perhaps looking for a coffee shop for a quiet chat to someone. Listening to the news right now and his name was mentioned.

    I was thinking the same thing. Where was the controversy last year?

    Although I have to give Buckley credit for not blaming the error on the loss. He said that Freo were the better team.

    When reading this I thought it was strange that Ross Lyon would still be in Melbourne but I checked and Freo have the bye. But can you imagine if he left Freo to take up another coaching position like he did to the Saints? Can't see it happening but Ross is a strange cat so you never know!

    Ross-the-Boss' name has been mentioned by folks in the media in regard to both vacant coaching positions. It would not surprise me to see him back at Melbourne coaching by the end of the (calendar) year.

    No way Carlton are going to win more games than us this year.

    amazing robbo ,Gerard and the papers all clamouring for more reviewed, what about the review of a pies player running at least 20 m (maybe ,ore) and kicking a goal that put them back in the lead, if paid against pies what ,might have been.

    Saturday July 13th at the SCG. We'll see then whether Bolton was the problem at Carlton!

    The Carlton list is pumped up by the media but maybe, just maybe it's not as good as they think. Media are very shallow, get a lot wrong in these types of things. I look at their list and it's really shallow with a number of key players retiring this year or next and they have a handful of potentially exciting young players but no more than most clubs. They have no depth. Poison chalice for whoever takes this coaching job and they won't have the guts to sack SOS.
