In all the Richmond fans hypothesis, if we don't take Shai Bolton we DEFINITELY miss finals. And Shai would have taken us over the top.
Such fabricated scenarios to suit your selling points. It's like a car salesman telling you the car you buy from him will definitely get you laid.
I have no doubts that's what has happened. A Bit Dusty was conjecturing that two years he stated he was very happy and he didn't want to move ever..and I was just responding with that there are a number of factors that can influence a player's happiness at the club 18 months after signing a big...
Of course Freo know this. So do Richmond. As much as I wouldn't mind adding another Brayshaw/Cerra scenario to our list I think the chances are this gets done. It's just haggling and I just hope we walk away happy.
You speak in definitives as if you're some sort of yellow and black Nostradamas.
We were half a win outside finals this year with one of the youngest teams in the comp.
Most of those young players have just signed long term deals and we should (notice how I don't insist) be a better team next...
So ... it's not up to both teams to get it done? If, as speculated, Bolton wants to live in WA and not return to Richmond that's a discount compared to if he was perfectly happy there.
He's got a 4 year contract (which we know are rarely worth the paper their written on but we'll play along)...
He came 9th in the B&F ...which isn't where he'd want to be but its still better than half the team. He wasn't the only one to have a down year in 2024. I think we've yet to see the best of him
I don't think the Jury's still out at all. I was concerned in his first 3 games. Think he's proven the doubters wrong. He's not a full time ruck and when he gets played there (when Darcy's crook) you know we're not getting to see the best of him.
You want draft picks....for players. Knobel is a ruckman with a huge upside. Way ahead of the curve for his position. I don't want him to go but I daresay you couldn't pick up as good a ruckman in the draft.
And he's only 19
Thing is.... we won't know the intricacies of any deal. We won't be made aware of any salary covered ...or not ...so any deal is going to make the fans of one of the two sides ...unhappy.
Long and the short of it is...I would hope 11 & 18 would be enough but if it's more I'll assume were in a...
