Bolton dropped? Get stuffed. If any small was going to be dropped, it should have been Castagna. Bolton has been our most composed ball user in the front half all season and every time he has had the ball has created something. Disgraceful decision!

Bolton is probably second in our Coleman medal race. I’m really not happy with that selection. Do they want to dry up our scoring further or something?

I feel like he’s held to a higher standard than our other small forwards. He’s our best small forward and honestly one of my favourites because he works so hard whenever he’s dropped to get back in our team unlike some others.

Is so dangerous through the niddle with his feints and sidesteps.

Castagna: 9 disposals, 1 mark, 1 goal, 2 tackles. Stays.

Bolton: 10 disposals, 3 marks, 2 goals, 4 tackles. Dropped.
 
There's got to be more to this... Bolton has been close to our best player this year. Rioli, on the other hand, hasn't impacted a game for years.

Yep. Bolton and Vlastuin should be top w for the JDM at this point. Clearly our best 2 players so far this year.

Got no problem with Castagna or Bolton. Both have worked hard in a dysfunctional forward line that has been getting very poor service. This week should have been better with an extra tall to bring the ball to ground BUT no instead we are going to play a man short.

As far as our forwards are going, I thought Bolton had been better than any of Castagna, Higgins, Rioli, Lambert. Maybe not Edwards.
He is still at that stage of his career where he will be a bit inconsistent.
I can only assume that with Chol in as a third tall they are backing Rioli and Aarts to apply the pressure needed for the structure better than Bolton.

Surely bolton broke a team rule during the week or some sh*t?

No way he deserved to he dropped

If you must play Rioli, you drop Castagna, not Bolton.
