Im at just as much of a loss as you are. I yell more the next week from the former at PRO after just as many cans at VFL matches. You'd think they would have noticed me by now. I'm trying mate.
Another Relton?!? Oh Joy!!!!
Didn't we just delist someone with most of these attributes

He'll be fine. I'm just joking. He can come and stay with me for a while. With the piss I put away, he'll be good to go next pre-season. I'll even teach him how to mouth off for free.

It doesn't matter quite so much for small aboriginal forward pockets
Like rioli he should be able to play some games early on maybe
First time I've ever attacked a Poster ST. The guys just over the top negative about everything the club does. I mean, in hindsight, Fyfe was best available but we all bat at 100% in hindsight.
Just had enough of the constant bagging, that's all
Report if you must but he's on ignore now anyway

Nobody will ever match the greatness of Sir Relton Roberts.

In my un-educated view, it appears we went for best available talent at 29 in Bolton. Its now a quick game and that is clearly a area we lack. Being only 17 still, will need time to develop size, but not worried about that. Speed and game breaking ability will be a premium with this stoppage and zoning game. I liked the Graham pick, purely as he seems better than Clarke as he can run and carry and can get it at stoppages. The last pick, I think this player is seen as a project key back, and already intercept marks and is good 1 on 1. Other than that, this is all I know about them, but will give them time to develop before saying they didn't work. I think we did ok and don't buy into the smaller types worry, as much prefer players who can play. You?

He'll be unusual for us in the forward line as in when he gets the ball he actually tries to kick a goal. Who would have thought?

No good at CHB bro, jack or griff need to be the bear in the square for that to work
One of our biggest weaknesses was slowness of the forward line with JR, Lloyd and Vickery playing together. With this guy and Rioli we have pace and pressure - just need to get them on the milkshakes to bulk them up a bit.

We can carry the slowness of Lloyd if he is in the side now, due to the pace of rioli, Bolton, Prestia

Bolton is so undersized that he wont play next year or the year after. I really don't understand our drafting strategy. I still haven't heard anything from the club re: where they see the list at. If they genuinely thought we're still in the window which is what they shoved down our throats all last year a couple ready made players like Begley and Scharenberg I could of understood who were both available at our picks.
Bolton and Garthwaite just seem so lightweight and project-ish. Graham I like but he is also going to need a lot of work, these guys won't be playing a lot over the next three years. Only conclusion I can draw is that they've picked players that won't play a lot, keeps their TPP down so they can re-do dusty and maybe go after another player.
And when he becomes a star he will wanna go back home :/

Well from the sound of those it seems he has the talent of a first rounder, but consistency needs to improve for him to be rated next to the first rounders.
Great get then.

Is he really that unlikely to play any afl games next year?
People were saying rioli was too little and he ended up near our best player
Bolton wouldn't have to win centre clearances just play forward pocket and run around a bit
The list had big Kpp holes. To get grathy late is a handy pick up. Everyone is going to have some issues so late in the draft.
He really wouldn't have to that much to challange elton, c moore, an the mature key defender we took last draft in the rankings People seem to hate astbury too

Nice, you have proven that body size isn't the factor that matters, so why are you complaining about it?
