Trade Requested Shai Bolton [UFA 2028] - Wants to join the Dockers

[Sully90]

Seems as though Freo knew he had these issues before he did. Incredible

Another feather in Peter Bell's cap.

Another feather in Peter Bell's cap.

Are we building a peacock enclosure?

Is that what “special projects” is?

 

[Erakor]

Pick #7 and a future first of interest?

I suspect that would be around the money.

Bolton is a good player, but needs to be in a good team. Hope he wins one with you guys.

 

[Tugga27]

“Support networks are in WA” but signed a 5 year extension last year while he still had a young family that Im sure they would have anticipated expanding.

Support network is code for "Richmond are about to bottom out and I want don't want to play in a crap team".

Richmond should be asking for the world I reckon.

It will be some irony if this happens , as it will mean that all the freo fans on this site will start appreciating the absolute brilliance that is shai Bolton

, all this after spending the last 7 years of his career arguing that McGrath was better lol

If Bolton is available freo should put all their chips in , once in a generation type talent

He will be a fan favorite immediately and with his family ties in freo , could happen

I don't think freo fans said McGrath was better? In fact we've dreamt of luring bolton back for a couple of years, which is scary because it reminds me of how I felt with the Hogan trade.

 

[bc27]

To be honest this could put Freo right into a position to be top or at very least the most talented list in the competition.

Bolton is a match winner and also is only 24 years old.

Richmond will be asking for a monster deal in return.

This Bolton decision may make Liam Baker

a bit more attractive to Fremantle. I can see all three of Fremantles first rounders this year plus another 1st or 2nd in next years draft being possible..and I would say you’d do that as a Freo supporter of it puts you into a premiership position.

 

[thistimeforsure]

Show me a premiership team that only drafts.

We payed the highest draft cost in history for Jackson just the other year brought in O’Mera , Sharp , Clark and haven’t taken a 1st Rd pick in 3 years … WTF are you talking about

I suggest you go back to the 2016 draft thread , it’s comedy capers enjoy

Definitely. A massive deal for all Freo fans.

McGrath v Bolton

It's all anyone talks about. We can't shut up about it even now.

Haven't heard of this one before, and not really apples to apples, but I'll vote McGrath. The things he could do with the seam were marvellous.

 

[MisterMarcus]

I see we’ve reached the “He’s the FiNaL PiEcE Of The PuZzLe for you guys so you should pay us overs for him” part of a Bigfooty trade thread…

 

[Ge3ks]

Bolton has to trim those sideburns if he wants to play for Freo.

Stop huffing your own farts…honestly

Who has spent 7 years arguing that? How is this an ongoing 7 year argument none of us can remember?

Oh so on a draft thread it was mentioned in 2016.

Strong argument you have there...

This is in the realm of me saying we should get both for one first, a future third and you guys paying half their salary..

He's talking about me in the draft review thread from literally like 4-5 years ago when all of McGrath McCluggage, Taranto and Bolton were starting to come good and I (and everyone else in that thread) didn't proclaim Bolton the clear greatest player alive.

Bugger. Was hoping the Glenn McGrath v Shai Bolton thing would have legs. At least a poll.

If you are interested look it up

If you are not do not

Either way I don’t really care

Bolton to Freo won't happen if Freo win this years flag.

 

[AstonSouffle]

Bolton to Freo won't happen if Freo win this years flag.

Why, I am genuinely curious what the logic is here? If they win a flag, and can get Bolton then awesome for Freo no?
