Jeez I'd laugh if Bolton fell through & WCE get Warner.

Bolton deal is 18 +30 for Bolton + 45. He doesn't want to be there, needs to go back home. Missus wants to raise kids in WA. Freo should play hardball and take the 3 best kids available in the draft. Freo could go slightly higher if Richmond pay half his salary, but we don't and won't pay overs. Keep your player there with an upset family, see if you get the best out of him. Next trade period his value drops through the floor, he goes anyway, you don't get picks in before the compromised Tassie drafts.
Finish outside the 8....but bitch about Bolton's price. Hoping to get Warner next year? Do they transfer all their 2024 draft hand into a 2025 one that delivers Warner.
Why not both?
I know that Dimma knows the player, and equates Rioli IN make the 8. I never see Freo, so not sure what the coach thinks of Bolton.
Strongly rumoured to be talking to WA clubs. As early as 4 June McGuire's kid NBN broadcast the story of Freo wanting Bolton.
A pity that Bolton didn't nominate Freo earlier, cos the standard for trading players needed by a club is 2 1st Rounders. We paid that for Taranto. Hopper 1st & 2nd.
No Richmond bias here, in what world is contracted, $million player not worth that. If RFC go after Cadman next year I expect to pay heavily in salary & picks.
Despite all this Bolton played well for us. And be funny if he stayed. Might play inspired football for us, motivated by the way he got ****ed by Freo. Get Kmac to do a house extension.
I hope we can bring any of Shai's family members to keep em company. Help with new baby. My daughter just had a grand kid a few months ago and my missus does ALL the helping. Its women's business for the first months, year.
well one is a trade scenario.#10 + #18 for Bolton is shit.
Battle went for #8.
****ing spare me.
Agree..I dont mind 10+18 TBH.
When was the last time Bolton won us a game?
He is a good player but isnt a A+
Take it and move on.
My gut feel tells me we will get 10 & 18.plus some late picks exchanged but we will push for 10 & 11. Expect the trade to go through the last day.I dont mind 10+18 TBH.

He said earlier in the year he was staying at Richmond, so I'm guessing he now wants to leave for his partners sake, I'm sure if we hung on to him and helped out with the new baby he would fit right back in. Id rather a slightly disgruntled player at the club than letting any of these oppo clubs roll us, same goes for Rioli, they are both contracted and are big boys that signed up with their eyes wide open, as long as Richmond wins I don't really care too much about how the players feel on this.I agree we don't want to hang on to Bolton if he doesn't wanna be at Richmond, but don't under rate him because of the past two years where a) our senior coach unexpectedly walked out and b) the wheels fell of in 2024.
Bolton is a freak footballer, and the type to tear apart a final..or win a Norm smith. He's only hitting his prime age now. A contending team should pay BIG for Bolton, he ain't a run of the mill player.
So do we allow ourselves to be bent over so that we don't upset Bolton, if he stays its on our terms, if he goes its on our terms, if he doesn't like it stiff shit.Agree..
I'm more in fear of having a disheartened/half effort Bolton running around for us come 25'.
He did it in parts this year and we can't have him do it for us again.
ExactlySo do we allow ourselves to be bent over so that we don't upset Bolton, if he stays its on our terms, if he goes its on our terms, if he doesn't like it stiff shit.
