Jude Bolton - Best 22?

[CaptainChardonnay]

Teary eyed emotion aside, ridiculous thread. Playing a role and doing it well. More than carrying his weight.

I often wonder how many posters here actually watch the games.

Doing well enough and playing his role for now. It's not unimaginable that he could be pushed out by a younger Player before years end but as of now I think he's best 22.

Which younger player would be in contention though? Jed Lamb is about the only HF kind of player capable of pushing his way in right now as I see it (Jetta too but he will come back for B.Jack surely).

Not "ridiculous" at all. So you are suggesting get rid of Mitchell or Bird instead of Jude. Which one?

Jude is a champion player, no one is denying that. But with Mitchell coming in and the players to come back - someone has to go out.

Why would you be removing him when you have Mitchell, Bird or anyone that did play? He did play this weekend didn't he? Kicked 2 goals, unlucky not to have a 3rd or 4th and put on a shit load of fwd pressure which kept the ball in resulting in more scoring opportunities for Sydney.

For who? Why do Mitchell or Bird need to be pushed out?

Why are we choosing between those guys though?

Technically everyone is younger than Bolton, but yes it was Lamb I had in mind. Having said that, Bolton's form would have to drop off dramatically.

Glad someone mentioned Bird. I was irate early in the year when Horse was red vesting him & starting the spud Armstrong. And before anyone tells me that Armstrong is a better HB than Bird, I say come on!

The only thing I told myself was that Bird must be unfit. He did not look it when he came on theough. Bird unfit is still better than someone that's shit. But he wasn't unfit.

I just wish blow-hard supporters would stop predicting his demise. And btw, what inside information would you have that "there might well be an announcement sooner rather than later". Then blowing hot air up his shorts by stating "he deserves our unquestioning support and thanks". Stop acting/sounding like a know all and keep your predictions to yourself, the player is the only one that knows how he's travelling. Jude (and Goodes for that matter) will know the right time to retire.

I agree with swansrule100 that "This thread should almost be deleted".

Geez, calm down. Who's predicting a "demise"? I thought he was gonna pull the pin after the premiership, and I'm glad he didn't but it's sooner rather than later.
What's with the know-all crap? You have something else you want to get off your chest?

Jude is best 22. His form has been solid.

That said I wouldn't be opposed to resting him for a game or two before finals. We can probably afford that luxury if required.

Why dont you let the coaching panel worry about it ? Same shit about who goes out for Tippett ! Trust they will make the right decision if & when the time comes for the balance of the team to be adjusted.

Surely this is an incomplete question.
