2007 Scorecard - #24 Jude Bolton

[AnnieH]

Rate away ...

[Plugger46]

5/10. More ordinary games than good ones. Honest, but overrated by many opposition supporters. I wish we'd traded him, as we won't get anything for him next time around.

[ScottH]

I like jude, always have.
But not a good year.

5/10

[RogueSwan]

4/10. I have a soft spot for B1 (similar to Roosy?), but I really can't rate him highly this year.

[Robbo]

Another member of the big reputation club. How on Earth did he play all games in 2007?

4/10

5/10. More ordinary games than good ones. Honest, but overrated by many opposition supporters. I wish we'd traded him, as we won't get anything for him next time around.

Not just overrated,highly overrated but your spot on Plugger.

[Zlatorog]

4/10

Ditto here. Too overrated. Probably lost an opportunity to be traded. He'll stay in the team as long as Roos coaches.

[ROK Lobster]

3 for Jude

[goswannie14]

I think the words I used in Canberra were "blond prima donna".

1/10.

[Big Al]

A very consistent performance from Jude. His disposal, goal kicking and decision making were up to the usual standard that he has set over the years. One of the few Swans you can rely on to deliver the same performance week in and week out. Rating 1/10

[573v30]

3/10 - Overrated by the Vic journos and opposition fans, fairly consistent in terms of racking up disposals but hardly effective when it comes to use of disposals e.g. goal-kicking and quick decision making. Wish we traded him.

[Justice]

4/10

Not many Jude supporters ^^^^

Disposal and decision making was again terrible this season. Clanger kick or pointless ruck clearances to no one continue to really disappoint.

It's funny that every time he kick the ball like a sack of @@@@ he seems so disappointed, punches his hand and revs himself up. He should be expecting it.
I'm caertainly pleased when he actually hits a target in red & white.

There is no doubt that he puts his whole heart into playing for Sydney and supporting his team mates, puts his head over the ball and is protected by the umpires (gets lots of frees that others in our team never do) and is well respected by opposition supporters.

Given he wasn't actually traded this year and was instead rewarded with a contract extension I can only hope that he is spurred to perform better.

Cheers

[Lucky Knickers]

4/10
Needs to pull up his shorts. I think a good bang on the head and wearing the GF headgear could help.

I think the words I used in Canberra were "blond prima donna".

"Prima donna" is a little unfair, isn't it? I've never seen him as having an over-inflated onfield ego or being prone to throwing tantrums.

Still, a disappointing season from Jude. In past years he has played some very good games, as well as having some when he was cod ordinary. In 2007 there were very very few where he had much influence and as the second senior "playmaker" in the midfield after Kirk, the impact on our midfield was evident. Doubt it was lack of effort but maybe he was nothing like fit enough?? Hard to tell.

4/10

[Ajn]

has always lacked the out and out skill, but if all played with his passion to give his best our ratings of many other players would improve dramatically
for me a 5/10, but not for lack of trying
