Bolts is nicely turning into a gun clearance player. Played a major part in our dominance at centrebounces last night with 6 centre clearances which was twice as many as a anyone else. 14 of his 25 possies were contested too. A nice Dusty-like break of Docherty's tackle too to kick the sealer.

A star footballer.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Will admit when we drafted him i didnt see him as much more than a live wire small fwd who would spend limited time as a mid.I also thought when drafted we had enough small fwds on the list and thought we should target a different type.
The kid is great and im glad we went down this path  but i still think we lack other types as a list balance.

Every list has weaknesses mate we got 3 flags in bank from this list tho they did there job , got to fresh it up every year with Balta,Dow ,CCJ  etc.

We won 13 centre clearances from the 16 times Bolton was in the centre square for the bounce.

Gerard Healy nicknamed him the "shaister" for his deceptiveness and tricks.

The way he burned off Cripps was a thing of beauty.

The way Bolts can contort his body and switch his bodyweight to get out of trouble is amazing. Worthy of the #29.

Yep Bolts had an absolute mare. He is usually very clean especially by hand with is one touch footy but he fumbled and botched everything today. Summed up the whole side today.
