He had an awesome offensive game, mainly because he had the personnel to deliver it. Some of the most exciting and also some of the most frustrating blues footy i've seen in the last 15 years was from that era.
He took us to a kick within a prelim. There's no person, i would like to see have success more than him- in what ever club shows faith in him
This thread has strayed so far from its origins............however, if I may be excused a little more misdirection :
have a brief look at where we sat for points conceded over the last few seasons (obviously, higher up is worse) :
2012 - 10th
2013 - 10th
2014 - 5th
2015 - 1st
2016 - 9th
2017 (to date) - 9th
To me, Bolton has almost brought us full circle, and we now have a defensive record comparable to Ratten's last season. Yet under Bolton, we are now seen as a tight defensive unit etc., things are looking up etc, yet under Ratts we were a basket case that leaked goals, could only attack and not defend etc.
Well, there's just no accounting for that, except that some myths need to be exposed and shamed for what they really are.
