And I love it that you engage RoyalBlues and don't pretend to know more than you've been told. Keep it up mate
Surprised by the first two... Boyd was such a weird pick even at the time. We have absolutely bottled the mid season draft a couple times now.

yes i recall that and at the time i thought this bolton dude is very good at educating/uniting the young kids. I hadnt seen/heard of anything like that in afl before. its definitely an important aspect of building a wise and strongly united culture.

I understand, and apologies for the Collingwood quip. It’s a double standard for you to tell me not to make accusations and then make one of your own!
We hardly knew ye
we don't seem to make good use of mid season drafts
was it Deluca a couple of years back
Shit, why even draft Boyd if he not even given quarter of a chance?
Least we looked at Deluca. Boyd nothing as injured.
I liked that to but I think as time went on, bits I saw form the club, Bolton was very good at that stuff ("Whole of Club") but maybe lacked in actual coaching.
I must be honest - he just didn't seem that smart (harsh I know).

Interesting if accurate.
Not surprised about Boyd, last in and was always a slim chance given he was a mid season draftee who then got injured.
Parks feels a tad harsh, but could easily see him getting re-rookied or training with the group through preseason with a view to picking him up in the SSP when an inevitable injury hits.
Newnes is a genuine surprise. Far from our best, by no means a "required" player, but he's a consistent contributor who featured plenty at senior level and would be solid depth at worst. Would have to be a chance for the rookie list. Unless he's been told he won't be best 22 and his preference is to look elsewhere?

very surprised with parks...only a young fellow and was giving it all on the field.
Probably framed in a harsh way, but my main issue with Bolton was he came across as very dial-a-quote. Dealt heavily in cliches and never portayed his message in a frank way. Came across as very corporate and I don't think that's what you want from a footy coach.

Clarkson, and a small chance of Pyke or Lyon. The latter one only if Cook reconsiders and says no.
I would have thought a new coach gets a say on delistings.
Strange world we live in.
Can't see Parks gone frankly.

I always found the Boyd pick strange. A small forward that didn't kick many goals or playing off half back, an area we're stacked in. He was always pushing uphill to ever get a sniff. The injury obviously killed any chance, but he didn't really have one to begin with.
