BOLTS.

ok goodes had a pretty damaging game for a while, but Bolts did contribute with the ball as well. I think he was serviceable.

MICHAEL.

ok had help with fletcher as a loose man, but really whenever he was one out with Hall, he generally had the better of him.

Bolts flogged goodes and mal flogged hall.

That's the first time in years that Hall hasn't destroyed us.

Goodes into the middle was what got Sydney back in the second quarter.

He didn't flog him, but Bolts was more than serviceable.

Big Mal was great and I'm bloody glad he's wearing red and black. Been a very good get for us.

Bolton did have a good game tonight. Well done!!!

Bolts started well on Goodes and then Hird made that squibby piece of shit lose his cool and he threw the towel in like the cowardice piece of excrement he is.

Eat it, Goodes.

Give bolts another game next week?

My thoughts exactly.

And Mal, what a game. The beast has finally hit some good form. Has lost a bit of weight and is looking real good.

Our defenders were brilliant tonight, absolutely brilliant. Don't forget the great job done by Ryder on O'Loughlin. He gave him a bath.

Bolton was very good tonight. Happy for him. Well done.

Another one bites the dust. Think Ryder, being the nice guy that he is, will probably end up bringing a towel to give to his opponents.

By Goodes' standards, he got a bath. Don't forget that Bolton kicked two and gave away his third in a low scoring game, too. I thought he was great... Roos had to react moved Goodes to Hird to try and break the Bolton tag and that's when he did his block.

Good on Bolton. Shoved it up all you baggers. He may not do some of the greatest things but he isn't as hopeless as people make him out to be. Hope he can continue to gain back the respect of the Essendon supporters and tonight was the first step

Well Done Bolts.

I just watched the first half and Goodes wasn't what got Sydney back into the game, although he did hit O'Loughlin on the chest (which resulted in a goal) but a couple of very poor umpiring decisions got Sydney back into the game. Lucas should have been given a free for a push in the middle, instead a free went Sydney's way, and the kick (play on to advantage) went straight down Nick Davis' throat about 30 out and bang goal. Another was McVeigh pinged for holding the ball on half forward when he clearly handballed, Stanton came through and soccered off the ground and had 50m paid against him... Schneider kicked a goal from that free from 55m out. 2 goals as a direct result from poor decisions and Sydney are in front at half time.

Bolton has been having a good game.... and Ryder has been nothing short of sensational.

He was magnificent tonight Bolton. f*** that hurt.

Oh, and bolton's bump in the first on Malceski was awesome!

Bolts was very good tonight, not sure how well he would match up against West Coast though.

Mal was awesome on Hall, who had kicked 42 goals in his last 8 games against us! God we needed a decent defender to help out FLetcher.

Was Bolts that good? I remember plenty of times Goodes got the ball and Bolton was trailing him by 5 to 10 metres. Maybe there's something about the way Essendon play that stops Goodes from being good against us and it's a coincidence that Bolton plays on him.

I especially liked the bit where Bolts pushed Goodes in the face, during a marking contest, and the umpire called play on.
His ar$e hit the ground quick smart.

Yes i would, we need his size and run against the eagles. It wouldn't be fair on Bolts to drop him after his great game on sat night.

IN: Pev, and either Campo, Dyson or perhaps Hislop
OUT: Nash (unlucky) and Houli

Good to see that Jetta and Demps could be back for Bendigo this week!!
