While our team defence should minimise the impact of that, SOJ's opponent(s) was able to set up several Richmond forward thrusts. As a small/medium forward SOJ (and Bolton) needs to find a way to stop opponents exploiting his lack of pace. Samo and Pickett having off days and Lamb getting KOd probably didn't help.
Agree. This will be looked at by other clubs, and unfortunately, there isn't much you can do to make someone faster or more athletic. The rest of the team needs to take up the slack, or Bolts needs to use Jack in imaginative ways.

What I was saying is he isn't afraid to put his body on the line and he looks a keeper.
A few others though........ hmmm.
So we agree ?

He's going OK for a young bloke only half way through his second season.
As you said PP, he wasn't the only one that was very ordinary yesterday.
Yes, agree with all that. I was surprised by his RS nomination, but it's no more or less baffling than many other nominations, awards etc. given out by the AFL. I'm happy for him.
