    Do you actually watch the games with both eyes open?

    Jude has always been a favourite of mine. Go back in history I'm sure you'll find posts of my where I stuck up for him, thought he was going to be a gun. Unfortunately he reached a stage where improvement didn't happen anymore.

    I also stated elsewhere over the w/e that he played really well, but his disposal let him down, as with Brennan.

    And to answer your qn. Yes and Yes.
    Do you actually support the Swans when we lose, or just go to Rugby?

      Always support the swans. Wouldn't be here if I didn't.
      Enjoy the League when I see it, which is rare these days.
      Also enjoy the Union when it's on, but that usually only equates to international games.

            Looking at the stats today I see he had just 11 possessions to 3QT and have 5 clangers overall. I still think, despite his improvement over last year, that we no longer need him and we'd be better served with other players in the side ahead of him. Most particularly I'd love to see Schmidt replace him when fit.

              Just looking at the stats can be misleading (both in a positive and negative sense - depending on what they may say). I just got the feel from my seat at the game that he had lifted compared to the previous couple of seasons - seemed to really be there when needed, doing a bit more of the hard work that he became known for in his first few seasons...

              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.

                Yeah me too. Think he would be the perfect replacement.

                  I agree that he has lifted - as I noted I thought he had his best game for a while - but he's really not doing nearly enough as a midfielder - just 11 possessions to half time is not particularly good.

                    I've never watched a game of Rugby League/Union in my life.

                      He's never gonna be a ball magnet tho is he? Seems to be doing some of the Kirk-like work in the clinches these days which is a good thing. Hopefully there is room for both a motivated hard at it Jude and a ball magnet Schmidt in due course.

                        A midfielder who barely manages 3-4 disposals a quarter is not really great value. Davis gets criticised for not getting the ball enough, and he gets it nearly as much and with less time. Kirk has been getting the ball a lot more than Bolton over the past year and he plays good defence as well.

                          I actually don't see why Davis can't take Bolton's role. Jude is slow, so Davis doesn't have to be lightning fast to beat him in that area. Jude isn't a tagger, so Davo's "laziness" wont come into it. Davis is a better kick and can create anything, Jude is a better mark but that's not a real issue in the midfield.
