Player Watch #29: Shai Bolton - Traded for picks 10,11&18

[Groupie_]

I don't reckon egurls would be interested in Bolton. He's not what they need.

if reid requests a trade they'll have to deal with us regardless

 

[Drunken Wookie]

I'm torn on it. We will get a stack for him but next few years we will be seriously bad. There is 2024 bad and then there is kick 3 or 4 goals each week bad.

We will rely on Taranto to push forward, Kozi, Maurice (if he doesn't leave) and Mansell.

If we do move him on we absolutely must draft Kako with one of the picks.

Isnt kako academy?

Only if he goes after 40 which I would say is zero chance.

Do you think they are just after draft picks? Or more of a leader like Baker.

Probably both picks and Baker. Bolton to me would be ideally suited to a team in their window so a perfect fit for Freo IMO.

lets take him with #39

If we get pick 1 would you trade Bolton and pick 1 for Reid?

Yes by a mile, I’ll even throw in Cumberland as the steak knives.

WC wouldn't do that. They'd want Cumberland and Dow. lol.

But seriously, I reckon Reid is there for at least another 4 years. Might come back towards the end of his career.

 

[JackNah_8]

According to The Midweek Tackle show tonight, Bolton will be staying. It unlikely he will be leaving besides he is still under contract with us

 

[All Aust]

Henry Gone and Walter near gone, the Dickers need him. They also have depth and fitness. We could get a Decent Forward (say Sturt @ 190cm) and a late 1st round pick for Shai.

Imagine that kind of deal needs to be the trade Shai = Good salary coin and Freo are going to have to put up plenty more smackers for their current mob given their form run

 

[richoplzbreed]

Bolton's manager has twice now come out and said he's going nowhere. So wtf do people keep throwing up hypothetical trades for him? I've noticed Dan Rioli and Baker are silent though so make of that what you will

 

[SunshineBoy]

3 pick 1's. If thats not enough, then we dont deserve another flag.

Carltoon say hi

 

[SunshineBoy]

pick 1 and bolton for reid and 20

bolton has years left on his contract

theres rumours going around that simpson will get the arse

makes it easier for reid to come home

Given that it looks like Reid knifed him, do we really want him?

who knows what really happened

Rioli is the one that worries me, given he lived with the slug

it's not a want, it's a need
still don't think anything will come from it

Shai is highly rated in Singapore….they have him on their $2 note…

 

[Cleansweep17]

Lol at assessing Pickett, RFC don’t care how well he plays they just want the f/s pick eligibility at 100 games.

Guaranteed he’ll play next year up until game 100 then retire before the MSD.

I dunno. If all of Rioli, Graham, Baker stay then I think Pickett and especially McIntosh will be vulnerable.

Another potential father son pick from Shai on the way

No way can we let another club get access to that talent

Awww so cute, I can tell he’s going to be a better kick than his dad cause his leg is straight.

 

[Bird Man]

When Shai showed some flair during a game (that Carlton game where he showed the ball to the blues player) the media and coach dimma told him to pull his head in...

Jack and Watts are doing this and the media loves it... seems a little racist as soon as a player of colour shows some form of show boating

 

[tigs2010]

Freo fans think they can get him for a solitary first but we'd need to pay half his salary.

 

[THE_GUN]

They will get Shai for 1 1st rounder and Richmond pays part of his salary
They will get Warner for 2 1st rounders
They will trade stkilda's 2nd rounder for a F1


Very very strange lot that purple people
