2009 Rate a Season: #6 Craig Bolton

He was down a little on previous years. Might be injuries, might not. I don't know. But he wasn't as good as he was was last year and the year before. TBH, I'm not sure how he managed AA this year. Don't get me wrong, he's still our best defender and i love the guy, he just seemed a bit down. Hope it's not a slide with age.

7.5, a good year, but not up to his lofty standards of previous years.

About right tho must have been tougher w/o Leo, Tadhg & (to lesser extent) Mal.

Agree with all that ^^^

Must've been injuries, I saw a brief note after Mad Monday that he had shoulder surgery.

Once again a vital member of our team, as his All Australian selection proves.
However, I sat here trying to come up with memories of some of the special things he did this season and I drew a blank.
Just his usual unassuming self, going about his role as one of the most important backmen in the competition.
Glad he's ours!

He was good, not his best though did play well on the guns.
Our best defender by a mile and he should be pleased with his year.
On top of that he is rated highly by the best forwards in the comp

My favorite player as well. Good year, as usual, but not his best. AA was a surprise.

Cheers

Even with niggling injuries, he still fought and won on most occasions in the backline and deserved the CHB AA spot.
