Craig Bolton

[satchmopugdog]

He did a great job on that one-trick pony Lucas.
Stopped him really well and only let him get onto his left once.

Lucas even had to handball at one stage.

[NMWBloods]

C Bolton has been brilliant again this year. Should be leading the B&F.

[Slick Swans]

Great game yet again from Craig, did what Mal Michael did at the other end.

Definitely one of the few shining lights tonight. Brilliant performance.

What about Ted's kicking?

[nat]

Great goal aswell.

[Xie Shan]

I agree, I think he was probably our BOG tonight. Did an excellent job on Lucas, who I rate pretty highly.

[Industrial Fan]

Great game yet again from Craig, did what Mal Michael did at the other end.??? Get two dodgy in the back and then 50m penalty decisions two weeks running?

[gossipcom]

He was definitely in my top two on BOG along with Fossie.

[Bloody Hell]

Absolute gun.

Everyone will tell you who they think is the first selected in the 22 every week - for mine it's him. Never seen him play a bad game for the Swans.

[Captain]

I will never know how he wasn't named in the best. The guy dominated last night.

In the Sunday Examiner this morning the funniest thing in the whole paper was the list of best players for the Swans....I laughed so much I spilt my cup of tea in bed.(Don't you love Sunday mornings).

Buchanan,Schneider,blah,blah,blah....no C.Bolton, No Leo Barry.

I must get my eyes checked.

Schneider was very good IMO

I'm also surprised that Bolton wasn't in our best, only kept Lucas to 1 behind. They must look at our best possession-wise now.

[Bleed Red Blood]

Yep. In the Age Jude Bolton was in our best, Craig wasn't.

[liz]

Yep. In the Age Jude Bolton was in our best, Craig wasn't.

I think some media bods have difficulty understanding they're different players.

Agree with BBB on Schneider. I thought he was in the best couple, though maybe was a little quiet towards the end of the game. Early on he was getting a lot of it and using it well. He also did a very good shut down job on Davey.

[NMWBloods]

I thought Schneider was clearly in our top 3.

I thought J Bolton was below average (at best).

H/Sn had best as: A Schneider B Kirk T Richards T Kennelly J Bolton A Buchanan.

Don't know how they included Kennelly.

Melb Sun HS - Buchanan, Kennelly, C Bolton, Barry, Kirk, Richards.

Sorry didn't realise you'd already posted them, were they from the paper or online. Mine are from the paper.

I don't know how Kennelly was included either.

[NMWBloods]

Online.

At least the Age Footballer of the Year award recognises his contribution. And he's even snuck onto the leaderboard.

http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/iagei-footballer-of-the-year/2007/06/03/1180809338581.html

Even though he gets almost no recognition from opposition fans, he must be on track to retain his AA place.

[ScottH]

Online.Ah, that explains it.
Strange they are different, I would've thought the same reporter does both.


Both he and Leo would've vied for mark of the game, from a swans perspective.
