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

[tigs2010]

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

Lmao

Even the last one could be tough if we look to do the same thing as we will have the better picks...

Good let him go and let freo and west coast pay overs he is a match winner on his day he is worth 3 1st rounders easily Geelong got 3 didn’t they for Tim Kelly or was it 2 ?

 

[voorhees]

fingers crossed this has truth to it and this trade does go down.

things change and there is plenty of water to go under the bridge before trade period starts and ends.
Just give me the day to happily believe this will go down.

 

[tigers12]

And we don’t want a bunch of picks in the teens we want at least 2 top 10 picks so I can’t see how either club can get it done maybe only eagles Fremantle no hope

You’d take that every day of the week and pretty good deal for freo too

Would.work out poitns wise the quivalent of picks 4, 5 and 67 or 1 and 18/19.

I'd say that is fair value.

In that last scenario, Bolton worth pick 1 and Baker 18. About right for Baker and probable overs for Bolton...

 

[voorhees]

One pick short imo

add a 2025 second round pick

Bolton is well worth 2 top 10 picks easily the development we put into him also he is a 2 time premiership player and only 25 years old

At his best, he is worth that. But Bolton will be 26 at the start of next season and STILL struggles to impact for 4 quarters, picks and chooses when to contest, often burns teammates in better positions with selfish shots at goal and the gulf between his good and bad is as wide as the grand canyon.

Rubbish.

 

[Wavvey]

As tempting as Freo’s picks are, 20 disposal 30-40 goals a season forward-mids don’t grow on trees (every club is after this exact player).

Not with you there at all Gdoc. Albert Thurgood would have struggled in our forward line this year. Bolton is the best small forward in the game bar none and is also the damage at centre bounces as well. He is not in the absolute top echelon like best 10 of the century but he is a huge asset for any team and his next 5 years should really be his best. I don't think it is wrong to trade him for the right offer, but the offer has to be better than Bolton himself. So it needs to be bloody strong.

When you say at his best he is worth that, why would anyone think he wouldn't be at his best?

Is not even close to the best small forward in the game no matter how you look at it. Bolton misses so many opportunities, his goal kicking has always been questionable but now his field kicking is too imo.
He isn’t one to build a team around but would serve a contending team very well. Which obviously isn’t us

Maybe but what's the point if we aren't even in finals contention for the next half a decade.

He might not be one to build a team around, but who is a better small forward in the game than Bolton?

That’s unders for us

Really?
Charlie Cameron
Tom Papley
Kozi Pickett
Toby Green
Tyson Stengle
Izak Rankine

all of these off the top of my head from a purely small forward perspective.
Yes Bolton can go into the middle and so some nice things but far too inconsistent for mine.
