Bolton along side Treacy, Amiss and Banfield would be really something.

Right? The nerve to put Amiss ahead of Taberner.
Are you Banfield himself? Haha!

This. Bolton just did us a massive favour at the trade table.
That's Bailey "was-rated-as-an-elite-winger-by-champion-data-at-one-stage" Banfield to you.

I wish
He's a must - was on and off early in his career but he was a kid (Sonny only cemented himself in his 4th year).
Has kicked a bunch of goals in the past 2 years when Tigers have began to spiral - imagine what he could do in our side?
His stats show he's a bit inaccurate, is that from set shots or general play?

Both but particularly set shots, his set shots are diabolical
he kicked 43 in 22 and 31 last year, playing a mix of midfield forward. Think he’ll be fine

Reading between lines and deciding just how full your glass is
A) Bolton tried to be respectful to the Tiggers, now they need to put some pressure on to force the issue; or
B) Tigers are more open to it now knowing Pies pick is basically a guaranteed top 10 and are prepping the fans
A) Rhino is doing his job as WA mouthpiece and it's a load of shit, Freo are very keen; or
B) Warner is still live this year and we cant do both, Warner > Bolton; or
C) We can not fit both Warner and Bolton in capwise, even over two years and well, Warner > Bolton
So how full is your glass? Personally, I think we are almost guaranteed now one of Bolton or Warner in purple next year

Especially with how we move the ball these days, he's going to tear teams apart. It's going to be so so fun to watch

Not sure you know what Inaugural means.
At risk of being quoted five years from now, I am wary of this Shai Bolton celebration. Seems the kind to come home and take it easy.
There has definitely been a shift in the reporting in the last 48 hours from -
Shai asked the question at some point, Richmond said no, Shai said no worries, happy to stay here, end of story.
into - Shai keen to get home asap for personal reasons, Richmond would be dicks not to deal
Strangely enough, you would think Collingwood sucking is the biggest factor in that changing narrative

Not that there's such thing as a bad option when you have Shai Bolton, but it's worth noting that for basically his entire prime so far he's been a 50%+ centre bounce attendance guy. Starting inside and then going fwd. But we saw first hand in 1 of only 2 games this season where he hasn't been 1 of the 4 main midfield guys that he can absolutely cook as a fwd-mid.
So to maximise his impact, do you have him as a mid-fwd and roughly give him Fyfe's inside midfield time or more as a fwd-mid who goes there when you need that spark plug?
