Now there is a player who gets very few accolades but plays his heart out week in week out. Considering the height difference between he and McGilla Richardson, he was awesome to watch, he is the quiet achiever - deserves more praise than he gets.

The Leo-Gehrig match-up though is the one that unnerves me more than any other throughout the season, although the upcoming Jono Brown one will be another."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

IMHO he still slips under the radar when it comes to getting a mention, but its pretty clear that his value is recognised by those in the know - AA selection and B&F finishes attest to that.
I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

Just about our most valuable player - full stop.
Sure, Hall is important, Goodes is important, we wouldn't want to be without Jolly or Everitt when it matters (and certainly not both). The importance of Kennelly's dash has been much discussed and Kirk holds together a flabby midfield with aplomb.
But I shudder to think what our defence would be like if we lost Bolton, even for a game or two. It's probably the greatest vulnerability the team has. Thankfully he has proved to be as durable as the rest of the Bloods since his arrival at the club.Comment

I agree.
There was discussion in regards to marks being an indication of performance, but I would love to see Boltons stats for spoils.
He not just a stopper either, he can be handy running the other way.
I think Leo's value is probably overstated a little, although his form this year is much better than last, but Bolton is seriously underrated. I read an article that would have happily given boltons AA spot to Dale Morris last year.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

Every week I say great game by C Bolton - I was thinking about just putting up a sticky!Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

He definitely wore Richo like a glove. Reminded me a bit of SOS on Saturday night perhaps he picked up a few tips when he was training LRT.Bring it on!Comment

Agree 100%
Just amazing how he seems to show up in the right spot so often to save the day. I commented how great I thought he played in the loss vs WCE. Easy to miss in a losing effort when too many goals are kicked against you.
Bolton allows us to get away with such a lack of height in defence, something not often appreciated.Comment
