Bolton has defended Daisy in what is a far cry from our pathetic response to Yarran clocking Chapman:
I like how we've gone fro a team that wouldn't say boo to a goose to one that likes to play on the edge in just six months
Quote: Carlton coach Brendon Bolton has defended embattled midfielder Dale Thomas, claiming he wants his men to play on the edge.

While Bolton conceded Thomas would like his time again, he was quick to defend his player.
"We're a footy club who likes to play on the edge," Bolton said.

"It's a really good learning curve for our whole playing group and Daisy appreciated that."
