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

[DickieKnee]

Can they get Bo Allen with pick 14?

 

[Grrr]

If they were hard stuck on wanting Bo Allen at 11, they wouldn't have offered 10, 11, 18 for Baker and Bolton.

Did they actually say that, because there is a lot of reported this or that. I doubt it, Baker for 11, no chance.

 

[Danog]

Can they get Bo Allen with pick 14?

Eagles would take with 12

I am happy to keep Shai unless the deal is 10,11. There really is nothing for us to talk about with Freo.

Except that he and his family are already back in WA. He is not coming back, and Freo know it and so do we.

yet another reason to get the deal done.
Got faith Hartley will get the best deal for Richmond.

Richmond leaving the West Coast trade table, now heading towards Fremantle.

FIFO

Freo offering 10 and 18 ...

Freo giving 10 and 11

 

[kozi]

"Lol. You'll pay me for 4 years not to play for you instead of taking slightly less than the overs you want? I doubt it. Both my management and the AFLPA will be contacting you shortly. All correspondence is now to go through them. Don't contact me again."

The price just became 10, 11 & 18

Have a good afternoon

 

[richoatthedisco]

They won't budge I don't think, they want Bo Allen at 11.
We are not going to hold Shai back, so 18 not 11 it will be most likely.

We have a massive hand, so it's not like it is going to hurt us much.

If we were going to accept pick 18 it would be done already.

Who gives a shit.

Eagles would take with 12

We should take him at 11.

Except that he and his family are already back in WA. He is not coming back, and Freo know it and so do we.

What everybody knows is he has a four-year contract.

 

[Danog]

We should take him at 11.

I'd be OK with it. There's a lot of good talent around that area anyway.

 

[tigerisland]

Shai and his family could be living on the moon ATM for all RFC cares. Reality is if Freo don’t offer 10,11 then we have a contract saying he must be at punt road come day one of pre-season.
Freo then get to explain to their supporters why they missed out on a generational talent because pick 11 in the 2024 draft was so much better than pick 18.
Freo also have the fun task of explaining to future players they try bring in why they suck at getting a deal done. Good luck with that.
Shai had a choice and he chose to sign a long term deal. Well there are consequences.

Freo are in a corner

Hopefully this trade falls through but I doubt it

 

[DickieKnee]

Got a feeling the Bolton trade will go down to the last hour. Don't think he'll be on our list next year but who knows? The word is Freo approached him mid year so all this going home thing ain't the full story. If Freo want him bad enough and why wouldn't they, they will stump up picks 10 & 11.

 

[Lacustrus]

Surely now it's simple...

Freo position - 10 & 18
Rich position - 10 & 11

Surely it now becomes:

Freo - 10, 11 & 18
Rich - Bolton & 14

Basically it's freo's first offer, then swapping picks 11 and 14.

Freo have all the pressure. Pay up or go home

 

[Lacustrus]

Can they get Bo Allen with pick 14?

No, eagles will grab him earlier

 

[kozi]

Looks like he’s been on the pingers since 1985

Belt the c***

 

[Grrr]

Belt the c***

Excellent negotiation skills.

But they want a pick before the Weagles pick 12 for the WA boy Bo Allen, that's why they wanna hold on to 10 & 11.

We should of taken pick 12 from eagles too

 

[Morro]

Did Freo cave when trading for Jackson or does anyone remember what happened there?

Could probably still get it on current form for Cumbo.

he was in Melbourne yesterday
