I call crap.
Malthouse was given a side on the fringes of the top 8. A kick away from a Prelim 12 month earlier. It had Judd, Gibbs, Scotland, Murphy, Waite, Betts, Simpson, Henderson, Kruezer and co. He was allowed to top up with Thomas.
Bolton was given 4-18 side that had palmed off a lot of it's A grade talent. Had to trade Gibbs and did so for the long term future of the club. No way would Malthouse would have traded the long term for the short term.
As disappointing as Saturday was it's ridiculous to compare two.
