OK JUDE Bolton. You win.

I've read every article about your bravery, I've turned away from the TV numerous times as you've staggered around the SCG after being caught in the head and I've even stopped mixing you up with namesake Craig (helped, it must be added, by the former Lion's retirement).

But now you're not just playing brave football, you're playing offensive football, replete with high possession numbers and even bags of goals.

Always heavier in the tackle than Dame Edna Everage, you've now added the final few strings to your bow to be one of the AFL's best midfielders and worthy of a place in Greatest Team of All.

Bolton kicked off this season with a pair of three-goal matches against Melbourne and Essendon before laying an AFL record 19 tackles against the Eagles to get the Swans over the line in Perth.

Against Port Adelaide last weekend he was an unstoppable force, gathering 33 possessions, another 12 tackles and a goal to help lead the Swans to their first win at the SCG this year.

Not bad for a 31-year old who was being talked about as trade bait a few years ago and could have settled in to a lock-down role more akin to the final years of his old captain Brett Kirk.

Also battering down the door into the Greatest Team this week is Fremantle midfielder David Mundy, an unstoppable force who has yet to pick up fewer than 24 possessions in the seven games he has played in 2011.

Mundy was singled out by Mark Harvey as setting the standard all his teammates needed to aspire to following Fremantle's loss in the Western Derby.

Mundy gets a spot on the bench this week, which makes Dale Thomas the best choice of our interchange selections for the impact player, perfect to come on as substitute.

Out of the side for what may only be a temporary stint in a non-existent reserves team are Melbourne's Brent Moloney and West Coast's Andrew Embley.

Moloney ran into a brutal tag from young Kangaroo Jack Ziebell and was rendered ineffective at Etihad Stadium on Saturday, although he wasn't the only Demon to suffer a drop in his possession numbers.

Embley was a late withdrawal from the Derby on Sunday with hamstring tightness and faces a fitness test to come up for the match against the Western Bulldogs this week.

Elsewhere, apart from Carlton players enjoying the bye, the team enjoyed a solid week with Heath Shaw, Dustin Martin, James Kelly, Lance Franklin and Aaron Sandilands all prominent.

We'll be keeping a eye on injured Bomber Jobe Watson, hoping for a swift return, while his teammate Stewart Crameri struggled for three quarters against the Lions on Saturday night and will need a big game against Richmond in Dreamtime at the 'G to hold his place.

And our guest coach for this week? Bob Davis of course. He may have proclaimed himself to be "the last of the non-thinking coaches" but a great team deserves a great personality and Bobby would deliver that in spades.
