    Craig Bolton

    Recently Ryan O'Keefe has been quite prominent on Media Street so you would have to say Craig Bolton is the most under-rated Swan there is.

    Week in, week out he gets the job done with a minimum of fuss and rarely gets beaten.

    Can't rate the guy highly enough. Perfect guy for the No.6 after Dunks.

    This week will be fitting reward for him after seeing the Lions claim three flags.

      Gun.

      The guy is a legend and a nice bloke. Mr Consistent himself (ok, maybe Kirky, but it's close). Definitely the dark horse for Best and Fairest.

      He should have been All-Australian.

          I never rated B2.

          Which , NOW , is why I'm glad it's Roos and the pros who decide on the list , not me!!

              Always rated C Bolton, i reakon he is one of the best value for money deals we've had for a while along with Jolly.

              I think this off season we should be looking at trading for west coasts back up midfielders, surely theres some gun over there that can't get a game thanks to Judd or Cousins.

                  A terrific player.
                  Makes you think about forward planning - wouldn't Brisbane like to revisit that decision. And makes me think again about how we're nursing the talent and not letting it go elsewhere - Foz etc.
                  He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                      I've always admired B2 for his super reliable playing but this year I had the chance to be impressed with him as a person. I went to the aftermatch after the Roos fiasco at Manuka. All the players returned straight to Sydney but B2 who stayed down with his parents. We got a few players from the 2s who spoke but it was a pretty depressed affair. I was leaving when I ran into B2 and I said "If you are here, I'll come back up to the room" and he asked "they won't want me to go straight on will they?" I betted that they would and he looked really apprehensive. He was announced as soon as we walked into the room. And he was really upfront and honest after a loss that would have hurt the players a lot more than it hurt us. He just showed a lot of character and strength - the bravery you see on the field is the measure of the man.

                          Only a handfull of touches on Friday in a Prelim!!!

                          Dropped his chance @ his one courageous mark per game!!!


                          All he did was keep some hack from the saints, out of the game!!!



                          He should win the most consistent player award (if they have one), if he does not get the B&F!!!
