Player Watch #29: Shai Bolton - Trade Requested For Right Deal

[Oldmanuncle]

Freo: Shai Bolton and future fourth round pick

Richmond: Pick 9, Pick 10 and a future second round pick

Throw Will Brodie in for good measure.

Let him go, I say.

He's a cherry-on-top type of player. Yes, he is very talented, but he's always playing for the highlight reel. I think this season has revealed his limitations. If we can get two first round picks for him, he'll hopefully be able to better utilise his skills elsewhere and we'll hopefully have two picks that form part of our next premiership team. It's win-win.

 

[tropicaltiger]

wonder if our fans will boo bolton

only the ones that can't kick a Sherrin further than 10m will

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Pick 1 and Bolton and Baker and our second for Harley Reid and pick 3.

 

[Azzleberry]

His management doing well to control the optics- happy to leave if the tigs can be satisfied in a trade = not 100% certain either WA club is willing to commit they can get the deal done

 

[THE_GUN]

Would love it if the eagles get involved

#3 plus F2

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

I’ve been critical of him a few times this year. Began in the first preseason game. Couldn’t believe the petulance in a game for zero points.

Three or four times, including that Pies preseason game where he is standing there, back to the play, complaining to the umpires while his opponent is running away with the ball. I remember commenting on here during that game.

No one was more excited at our drafting him than me, but by earlier this year I was a bit over him.

Shame, he can be so good but we aren’t getting 1.1million in value.

And, I reckon this is the last time he celebrated or enjoyed anything he did on the field.

 

[tigs2010]

so its fake news

Salty licka licence missed the scoop

Haven't asked for a trade, just told Richmond he'd like to go home.

[tigs2010]

where are they going to get em from

I'm sure WC would be willing to help get a young WA family reunited at Freo.

[voorhees]

so, even with Morris jumping the gun..
this will still get done
shai will be in freo colours come 25'

 

[Tenacious T]

I’ll gladly drive him to the airport….

 

[voorhees]

If we don’t get a deal that suits … don’t trade him…. We have let several players go for peanuts …. Don’t get bent over Tigers !

who exactly did we let go for peanuts?

 

[voorhees]

I'll chip in for the petrol cost

 

[Coach_Required]

I've had enough of getting reamed at during trade season. Enough is enough, time for us to get a go. Get us the 3 first rounders from Freo or pick 3 from WC and something else.

We haven't been reamed in a long time so not sure what your talking about.

 

[sante]

I’d say 95%

Well yeah, it will happen, I have no doubt

 

[sante]

And young enough to play more than 100 games. His kids will see him purple only.

Who cares, they’ll want to stay in WA anyway

can't recall any player who has left that we got stiffed on
Butler (who wanted a club change) we got #56. perhaps could of got more.
no other come to mind.

What we get for Jiggins?

 

[Wrenny]

What we get for Jiggins?

A better culture

 

[Coach_Required]

Higgins and Butler vs Deledio, Vickery and CCJ?

LOL

Yep we get stiffed so often.

Completely disagree. His stats this year has been pretty equivalent to his All Australian year. That's just an unfair stereotype.

Worth a top 6 draft pick in my opinion. Time Richmond strike now.

 

[voorhees]

What we get for Jiggins?

no one cried tears for Higgins leaving
higgins+#21 and we got back #17.
good deal
