Jude Bolton is it time to go.

[NMWBloods]

I think by the end of the year he won't be in our best 22, hence why we should look at bringing in some young midfielders now.

Jude Bolton
"Damaging Swans"

Hard working midfielder with the ability to win the ball in tight pack situationsthen dispose with class giving the Swans forwards every opportunity, often goes unnoticed surrounded by so many stars, a premiership player

2007 - Footy Tazo.

I can tell some of you didn't write this.

But they are right, he does go unnoticed sometimes.

[Eala ?ireann]

I reckon at the end of the season we trade his 'E' for a 'D' when the Juddster walks from the Eagles. Surely someone can bankroll a sneaky salary cap breach to change our JUDE for a JUDD!?!

;o)

[NMWBloods]

I wonder if Footy Tazo is getting the Swans and West Coast confused.

"Hard working midfielder with the ability to win the ball in tight pack situations" - Yes

"then dispose with class giving the Swans forwards every opportunity," - No. His disposal is ordinary and often gives the forwards little opportunity.

" often goes unnoticed surrounded by so many stars, a premiership player" - What stars?

[AnnieH]

when he first started playing, he was as exciting to watch as kells. he'd go in hard after the ball and continually put his body on the line. give him a break. wirra was all but silenced once roosy put bolts onto him. he's a workhorse. he's not the only one on the team that has a problem getting rid of the ball effectively.

[NMWBloods]

Wirrpanda had 11 possessions in the second half.

Bolton's hardly ever been an 'exciting' footballer, certainly not like Kelly.

Bolton's hardly ever been an 'exciting' footballer, certainly not like Kelly.

No, but he was often found diving into packs like Kelly, or at least being on the bottom of packs trying to get the ball. Doesn't happen too often these days.

And while Kelly was never a great kick, he certainly could kick a goal when one was desperately needed.

You don't think we have any?

[Sanecow]

You don't think we have any?

No. We only have hard working, blue collar types.

[ScottH]

No. We only have hard working, blue collar types.

It matches the blue of the Brownlow Medal neck holder thingy.

[Sanecow]

It matches the blue of the Brownlow Medal neck holder thingy.

He might be a Brownlow winner but he's a very average tagger.

[NMWBloods]

You don't think we have any?

Not enough in the midfield to surround anything or anyone...

No, but he was often found diving into packs like Kelly, or at least being on the bottom of packs trying to get the ball. Doesn't happen too often these days.

And while Kelly was never a great kick, he certainly could kick a goal when one was desperately needed.

One of the great values of Kelly was that he had a turn of foot and continually broke the lines. Bolton is the opposite.

[Nico]

I can tell some of you didn't write this.

But they are right, he does go unnoticed sometimes.

That's because his average stats are poor for a midfielder. He turns up at 3q time and finishes the game off when the others are buggered because he so often bludges for 3 quarters. He looks like he finishes games strongly, but in effect he cheats.

[Nico]

How on earth would you know this? You're comparing a bloke who has played 160+ games against a bloke who has played one.

Jude is clearly in our best 22.

I

Because I actually watch what players do when I see them play.

I go to the footy with a nephew of mine and he craps on all game and makes inane statements very similar to yours.
