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

[Grin]

wood do that in a heart beat!!

Gave me wood too

 

[Bird Man]

not worth the contract he is on. In a good team he is electric but is a massive down hill player

 

[DeseRigs]

He’s the worst set shot in the competition. Not an exaggeration.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Bye bye bye

All you blokes go to the bathroom and look in the mirror

Then slap yourself

 

[TigerPaul71]

Would rather him go than Daniel.
Rioli does so many good things every game!!!
Shai looks lazy, and should be so much better but chose's not to be.

 

[UncleBob]

Not even a good kick of the footy.
Unless on the run and kicking for goal. That’s it

It's an effort thing with Shai. Unless he knows he can get a goal or win the ball, he doesn't seem interested...

 

[Vassp]

DROP to the twos pls. disgraceful for his level of pay.

 

[Cam Payner]

Would trade him before Rioli every day of the week...Riolis* never bludge...



*not named Dean

He’s already checked out mentally. Decision has been made to ask for a trade to Freo and he doesn’t have the mental fortitude to still play good footy for the Tiges.

 

[TigerImposter]

He’s pissing me off now. Looks like he wants out to me.

 

[Daka]

Ah the old let's trade Shai Bolton

after a poor performance, okay i'll play a long the only way I would trade him is if it involves directly getting Harley Reid.

Other than that it's a no he signed a long-term contract with us.

Bruh lets get him

meet you at Dallas shops

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Given Reid was #1 last year, aligning him to #2 isn't that far off.

He was #1 but worth more than that.

A lazy primidone when team was flying looked good but his real abilities are showing. Hope the WA fool's take him off our hands.

No use being at The Tigers if he doesn't want to be there.
He has had plenty of non effort acts the last couple of years not just yesterday

 

[cairo tiger]

need to trade bolton asap. need to keep rioli

 

[damnedn1ghtmare]

Bolton is a flash in the pan player. Comes out with some brilliant stuff but he's expected to be a ball winner for us which he isn't. Superstar during premiership years but now that our midfield is gone, he is being exposed.
He will only go downhill even further if he stays with us until we have a decent side.
He clearly wants out and no point having him around now. Trade him

 

[UncleBob]

Tough to see where he goes from here.

I like him for the fact he's great around center bounce/stoppages.
Great mark overhead and good for the odd freakish goal.

I don't like him for his field kicking. Not sure how many kicks have been smothered in the last few weeks..
Really looks like an effort/intensity issue. Without knowing whats going on in his head, he looks checked out.

I'm starting to believe he's not going to be the cherry on top in the midfield, but he's also wasted sitting inside 50.

 

[DickieKnee]

I think Freo would be the perfect fit for him. He's not what we want or need at present but could be the difference between a genuine flag contender or just a top 8:contender to a club like Freo.

 

[energyquant]

Exactly the sort of player we should be trading. His trade value is much greater than value as a player for Richmond during a rebuild. A genuine X-factor player who will help a club in contention win a flag.

Collingwood paid a 1st and 2nd round pick for Lachie Schulz, who was a pre-agent (1 year from free agency).

I wonder if West Coast are going to offer up pick #3 for Shai and Liam? I doubt we would do that deal, but if it were #3 + #23 it might just get done.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

I don't like him for his field kicking. Not sure how many kicks have been smothered in the last few weeks..

Yeah. I mentioned it a few weeks ago. Such an exaggerated, showy wind up to kick that telegraphs it to the opposition.

Just get to the boot. It doesn’t need to be lifted chest high to kick it. That’s show pony stuff.

I was so rapt when we drafted him and at his best he’s everything I hoped for but as I said after the Collingwood preseason game, his petulance can’t be tolerated.

Again yesterday, wanting to have words with the opposition and the umps, meanwhile the footy is three feet away and still in play and he carrying on with his back to the play.
