Yes, I was intrigued as he seemed to be in a state of complete absorption. As my nan would have said - penny for your thoughts son.
The SOS family scene was special too. Young Jack's anxiety was palpable, as was his tears of joy - which I don't mind saying, I shared with him.

Ultra impressive.....
Quote of the show for me, wrapping up the draftee camp, Bolton was asked by one of the draftees "What did you learn from this trip?". He replied "I learned one thing, one thing more than anything - our future is strong at our footy club'
I feel like going down to training and doing a few laps for Bolts myself!!!
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

That and Jacks emotion of being selected by the Club he adores were two highlights for me.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

I think Bolton is impressive and his teaching background is an advantage when dealing with 18 year olds. But we have to remember that no single approach suits all. The problem with boys is that they tend to be very hard to read, especially as it's easier to extract teeth from them than verbal responses. What might look to us as gazes of rapt attention may be something quite different. Weitering, though, did come across as a guy who is exceptionally mature, a natural leader and the sort who is keen to absorb any advice given to him.
Good luck with telling them to help Mum and Dad at home and not spend all of their time on the couch playing computer games. If it works, I should get him to come around and talk to my son.

Stroking? Really? Couldn't find a better word to use?
