I think if you add Bolton to the team then we get over the line in at least half the close games this year and we're comfortably in the top 4.Do you think an elite piece like Warner (or potentially peak Bolton) is enough to push the team over the top? Talent wise I do. Mentally though, not sure this group has 'it'. (Not sure my Blues have it either mind you).
Personally, I think Warner is the better player, but I think our need for Bolton is greater. We don't have a small forward capable of hitting the scoreboard regularly. Bolton is the perfect replacement for Walters (who we adore, but father time has now beaten him).
As for mental toughness, this is where I think the '2nd/3rd youngest team' this year plays a factor. 18/19 of our best 22 are 25 and under.
BUT - and this is the big question on the coach - when we're under pressure we resort to this slow chip mark game, despite our best football being fast through the corridor. I just think this has been trained too much into them because it is such a clear default mode.
I'm probably just in the give JL one more season camp - but even at the start of the year when there were a lot of questions being asked about him I was very much in the pro-JL camp. I'm starting to waver.
