Jude Bolton

[Nico]

How did he get almost 50 Brownlow votes in 5 years then?

Because he bludges for 3 quarters then plays the odd good last Q and the dumb umps say "gee Bolton played well".

He's not that good, but I'm not sure you could ever call him a bludger.

This Johnstone talk of coming to the Swans is driving me nuts.

Reminds me of the one when a bloke walks into a pub and sees this guy with a steering wheel tied low around his waist.

"Gee that must be uncomfortable mate".

'Yeh it's driving me nuts".

Apparently Johnstone in demand, both WC and Brisbane are said to be very interested, so hopefully he won't be here next year.

I can hear Nico crying already!!

Life is full of highs and lows. I hate Roosey's double speak.

Now Jude is seriously being touted (sp?) around I feel a bit sad and don't want him leave. Even though I said terrible things all season and at games when he missed shots, I always thought he'd play out his career in the R&W.

You will regret that statement the rest of your days. I thought you were a hard mongrel but clearly underneath it all you just "love your boys, and bugger a flag". Wake up before it is too late Knickers.

No we have to be tough thinking and uncomprimising. Under eade we were known as the softest team by a mile. We can't go back to that.

An unconditional apology to all RWO'ers is the only way out.

So what do you call doing stuff all for 3 quarters?

Jude's best game???

I was discussing this with a mate this arvo, he only gets possessions in the second half of the third and in the last qrtrs. Is obviously fit, but never stands up when it counts.

Well I'm ambivalent about the prospect of Jude going, as long as we get good compensation.

All I know is that even in the games where the team played poorly, which was regularly this year, Jude gave a hard, genuine contest, and WAS in our best most games. Although not the most gifted of our players, he gives 100%, ALL the time.

So unlike some typically ill-informed armcahir critics here... if he goes, thanks for the efforts Jude, a worthy and passionate member of our team.

[NMWBloods]

I'm sure he'll be touched...

[Robbo]

There's no doubting he's been a good player for us, but time is up. I hope we can do a deal and get something handy in return, I really hope we don't hang on to him after getting rid of Schneider - it would defy logic.

[law78]

I just hope we keep Amon Buchanan mate.

I would prefer Schneider to Buchanan

[Allymay]

I would prefer Schneider to Buchanan

Agreed.

[Bear]

Well if that's the case he's got one over you... he doesn't have to touch himself to get any credit.
