Said it for the last couple of years now but Jye Bolton is one the club should've got in as a mature aged recruit. He's got his limitations but betting smashed on the inside is not one of them. He's as tough as nails and goes in hard and I'd be staggered if he's not picked up by someone in the upcoming mid-season draft. He could've been picked up with a nothing pick in last year's draft and he's already showing again in the WAFL why he's such a good inside player...leading pretty much all of the media awards.
Stocker might end up being good but there's no way the club thought we'd be rock bottom (again) when they decided to do that deal. I feel sorry for the kid because he's gonna have that hanging over his head for years if this year's number 1 pick goes to Adelaide and that pick proves to be a gem.
Given the lack of depth we've got, whoever we take in that mid-season draft needs to be able to pretty much step into the team at any moment.
