I think it comes down to him being a decent bloke and not shitting on his sources , no doubt McClure and Browne have pissed of a few in the trade

Is he the wanker that was interviewing Cameron a few days ago n just couldn't resist asking him how the Dusty deal was coming along????
Yeah, we was in AA contention this year until we started getting thrashed. Even then he was still one of the best forward/mids in the league, until as a club we gave up with 4 weeks to go, and he barely left the F50.
Still only 25.
Awesome player in a good team… but..
He checked out, wouldn’t play to our structures (if we had them?!) , became self focused, broke team rules, started talking to Freo……. All this goes away when he crosses the border….. to WC/Freo.
Back to AA $hai…. So it’s time to pay!
Just my opinion.
Regards,
Stan
Bolton is an Elite Forward/Mid one of the best in the AFL is worth every bit of 2 picks under 10.
He is contracted.
As Blair said you want him - show us what you got.
10 & 18 is not enough.

Preaching to the choir as we know but.... wide open expanse, top line grunt feeding him, roving to a beast CHF.... the only thing he STILL has to sort is waywardness in front of the sticks. He will tear it up.
13. Alix Tauru (23)
Tauru is garnering consideration from North Melbourne at pick 2, such is his meteoric rise.

AFL Draft: Bolters emerge as combine takes centre stage
One of the most important weekends on the junior footy calendar has been run and won, with standout performances littered across the combine making ESPN's draft board for October a little clearer.
Yet no one batted an eye lid when GC give up pick 7 and Bowes to Geelong.
The hate is real and they are all losing their minds on what we might end up with.
Heard it as well. Maher was left speechless (incredible I know) and Gaze mumbled like he always does.
Not surprising - they were all over Trainor until the concussion concerns. Good result for us - will leave a better choice of mids at 6.13. Alix Tauru (23)

He does.
Just mentioned that we wont get pick 13 as part of the GC deal. Its Pick 6 and something on the fringes.
We are also clear front runners for Brisbanes pick 20.
The bloke who said Dusty was definitely going to the Gold Coast? Nah he's just another who makes educated guesses out of crumbs of information.
Langford is the bloke who doesn't get enough air on PRE IMO.
He gets numbers. He runs toward goal. He uses toward goal. He kicks goals and wins leather. Built for the game. Can pick it up off the lawn. Slow? Some players are.
His sole VFL outing was underwhelming. The kids often struggle in the first VFL hit out and then rally the next one. Langford looks a certainty to pass Travaglia who got 20 in that game. And is as slow as Langford.
I think Langford is on boards as early as #1. Maybe even ours.

10 and 18 will likely work out to be 12 and 21 after Ashcroft, Lombard and Kako are bid on.
That is just simply not good enough. Bolton stays based on that *smile* offer.
hence why they're looking at trading #213. Alix Tauru (23)

It's getting out atm that Tauru will go earlier than Twomey's August board had tipped.
Twomey is to some extent a pawn in the shadow boxing of recruiters as they try to get intel on the rankings of their rivals. This gets leaked from here, that gets leaked from there. He updates his board with the leaked intel from many sources (mainly connections of draftees - he knows millions of them).
It's possible that Twomey got it wrong in August. About Tauru. And just didn't have the intel about say Melbourne rating him #4. Or StK rating him #5. It's also possible that a couple of clubs have cooled on some of the smalls and are willing to take a risk on an athletic tall earlier. (Murphy Ried's stocks probably plummeted based on an event - the CTL GF.)
Most likely is that a club or two that had him at a possible #18 now sees that there are other clubs who will take him at #10. And that club plans to take him at #7.
When we say that Tauru is rocketing up the board it's possible that Twomey just didn't know the club that was sweating on him when he listed back in August. And got it wrong. But just as likely IMO that clubs are responding to intel on the interest of rival clubs.
Games within games.
