Myles Bolger in detail
Myles Bolger is a quality ruckman who consistently gives his midfielders first use of the ball.
A smart player Bolger moves around the ground nicely for a big man and can become a part of general play just through his positioning.
Bolger was one of the only ruckman to give Longer a challenge this year and has had an interrupted preparation due to a foot injury, with time to overcome that injury and develop Bolger could have been considered a top 15 draft pick and spoken about the way Longer has been.
It’s hard to place a ruckman who has had some injury concerns as clubs are very cautious with selecting big men, having said that Bolger is too good to go beyond the late 30’s in the draft so put him down for pick 25-35.
