Bolton: Freo was in reasonable nick from last week and jumped us from the start. Our response was too slow.
Bolton: It could have got quite messy, but to our players' credit they fought back in the second half.
Bolton: We couldn't lock the ball in our forward half. Our pressure wasn't up to standard.
Bolton: Leadership is a work in progress. We're missing leaders like Docherty, Murphy and Alex Silvagni, but that provides leadership opportunities for others.
Bolton: Playing consistently at a high level is a learned behaviour. That's what we have to aim towards.
Bolton: We don't accept losing, but our age profile has dropped significantly this season and we have many injuries. We'll fight through it.
Same old bullshit about age profile and injuries - freo were younger and have much longer injury list ..... ?
We have a crap core of players 23-27 year old range, why is that so difficult for everyone to understand?

This is the set of players I was talking about, these are our players in the prime of their careers, these should be our core. I wasn’t talking about our 28s and overs vs freemantle’s. How do freemantle’s players compare to this?
