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

[THE_GUN]

Apparently Shai has informed Richmond he wishes to be traded during his exit interview yesterday.

Sure shai no problem if Freo are happy to give us the value we have you at and thats pick #1

#9,#10,#17 is about the value

 

[THE_GUN]

If Both Bolton & Baker selects Fremantle then it makes the trade so much easier

Richmond out : Bolton , Baker , #57 , #66
Richmond In: 9, 10, 17, 27

Richmond pays $400k x 3 years of Bolton contract

not enough for Bolton.

RFC should put Bolton as a face of RFC, RFC can have a game against Gold Coast in the NT supported by AFL HQ where Bolton and Rioli face off.

When our new talent show there stuff he will realise the turnaround could be quicker than he thinks

RFC could also offer playing another game in WA as well while we are building next year

Now you are being really silly

The post i made is a very good result

I watched the mid-week tackle tonight and, to me, I saw a lot of BS!!

There is no way Bolton should be traded for 9 and 17 and I would not trade him for 9 and 10.

If I was running the show I would say it looks like others do not rate you like we do.

We think you are a superstar. You can be traded but with a trade that reflects at least your minimum worth which is pick 3.

So if others do not rate you like we do, like a Ryan Okeefe or Luke Parker at the Swans we are going to put you as a face of RFC. We are going to bend over backwards to support what you need and we have a WA network as well in that endeavour. You do not need to take an exhaulted leadership role but we love your highlights and creativity that you bring and with you on field you bring hope for supporters so please stay healthy

We will try and get back up into contention with a bang but we will have to hit the draft hard to do that because rockets ships require fuels of talent.

The other thing is Yze must get an extention, 5 years so 4 more after this with possible revision obviously into the future, if he does not get that it is crazy. It reflects more poorly on management not offering an extension than Yze and others will look less of RFC as a destination club. The list will be very different and if management does not extend Yze is a poor move for the club because as Richmond supporters, we have been in the troughs, we know what is involved, and we also know about turning over coaches. We do not want to be like West Coast and we know it will be tough for a few years, I like to think RFC is a smarter club than that and Bolton doing his thing will help bring a smile as well as boosting the youngsters development if other clubs do not rate him like we do!!!

Bakes will choose the eagles if he leaves, I think a pick 10-15 is right for him. Bolton at a min is pick 9 & 10. Tigers will be asking for more but think that’s what we will end up taking.

nope, I am not, you are underrating the value of Bolton

 

[dean33]

Sure shai no problem if Freo are happy to give us the value we have you at and thats pick #1

#9,#10,#17 is about the value

People may laugh but you are on the money, our first request is 3 x first rd picks. May not get that but that’s what we want.

you want to make a man who wants out, the face of the club...
The turnaround for our club will not be quick..no way in hell
We all would like to wish, but the realities is we are in for a long road of rebuilding.

2 firsts and a second would get it done. I’d be happy with that.

Agree

I am not a words smith.

If he is at war and someone is about to shoot him, will he pick up a gun??

I say yes

Here is another thing, Bolton leaves, what is RFC selling??? draftees, what are the sponsors buying???

right now Bolton is our most if not only marketable commodity, plus he has the indigenous connection to WA?NT markets to get games where AFL HQ can help out market the game

here is another thing, we draft whoever this year, why will they stick around at RFC if we continue to act like a doormat??

I get the feeling I know why Dusty retired, he was too tired carrying others including those off-field loads

when Bartlett left there was more at RFC even though we managed to f.. it up to

That majorly concerned me, making a guy who wants out the face of the club.
Almost as much as the bit about we need to extend Yze’s contract.
What a sign that would be.
I’m willing to cut some slack re injuries and list decisions, but he’s hardly inspired anyone and looks a fish out of water as the main guy.

Sure shai no problem if Freo are happy to give us the value we have you at and thats pick #1

#9,#10,#17 is about the value

Absolutely all 3 picks. Anything less shouldn't even be considered.
Tell Freo that is it, if they don't like that then give us 9, 10 and a future first or don't waste our time, we have Gold Coast to fleece.

Exactly. Let's (Richmond) facilitate the trade but do what's best for the club.

 

[Mr Magic]

Exactly. Let's (Richmond) facilitate the trade but do what's best for the club.

how about if it is best for the club in terms of value and for Shai, then facilitate the trade.

We are running a business/club not, accommodating travellers like a revolving door

 

[kozi]

Sure shai no problem if Freo are happy to give us the value we have you at and thats pick #1

#9,#10,#17 is about the value

Tell Freo this is the price call us when you’re ready to make the deal or don’t call at all

then when they call back with #9 #10 and 2nd take it

why is that?

I am not rattled if someone suggests a trade out.

too many clinging to their security blankets need Dusty to say okay before they can go to bed and sleep

 

[tigerdan]

Bolton is "worth" something like what Kelly went to the Eagles for.

At the end of the day they will give their best offer and we will choose yes or no.

All the rest is background noise.

You were going well up until extending Yze for 5 years

Dont talk sense dean, this thread isnt for the sane.

 

[Mr Magic]

5 years being 2 more years, not 5 years being 8 years.

Why not??

I blame list management more than the coach, Yze has just arrived while Gale and others are bailing

 

[freo1997]

9 & Erasmus for Bolton.

Erasmus previous top 10 pick.

 

[Funky Chicken]

Who is this Chicken Feed I'm hearing about?

I've looked at all the AFL lists, and I can't find him.

Is he a Cat B?

 

[Mr Magic]

9 & Erasmus for Bolton.

lol, Erasmus seems to be crap. pick 10 would be better but still not enough
