Confirmed Shai Bolton, pick 14 & F3 (Rich) traded to Fremantle for picks 10, 11 & 18

[Coach_Required]

Heard West Coast is going to offer 3 + F1 for Bolton + F2.

I heard we are going to give him up for their pick 26 just to annoy Freo

75% of the fan base think he's worth 3 first rounders. This would be comedy gold.

Maybe we should draft him with the Dockers pick 10

I heard a rumour that is exactly what was in the Dockers’ plans, so . . .

I'd be filthy if we did the deal for 9 and 16.

That pick 9 is behind an Ashcroft bid and Battle compo so ends up being 11. Then 16 will become 19 or 20 with other academy plays.

Bolton is a star and not many in the game can do what he can do. Richmond should hold the contract unless it's 9 and 10.

Very true not many players can miss directly in front of the goals, as much as him.

Now that it is becoming clear that Freo and the Tigers cannot come to a deal, it will be interesting if a deal can be done with West Coast or if he will go back to Richmond.

Hopefully he just comes back to the tigers

You ring Trade Radio don't you?

That is one of the more brutal things I’ve seen here.

Oof.

TR Richmond fans: We keep our F2 or no deal .....shut the thread.

 

[Moo]

I have always stated, that Bolton may be traded, but only if it is in the top 5, in draft picks paid, all time.

I also said, Baker would be trade for a pick between 10-15, and everyone laughed

What have any of you ever said that was proven right?

I didn't want to trade in Jesse Hogan and instead wanted to draft Bailey Smith & Bobby Hill.

Did you read above? Freo already shopping pick 11, so trade is dead.

Enjoy

Oh boy….. cry more lads

No chance we can fit Mbappe in our cap.



Edit: accounting for Euro:AUD, he gets $51m a year. So more than 3 AFL clubs entire salary caps. Greedy campaigner, not willing to take less to win flags.

IMO Eagles plan on splitting pick 3 is to get Shai Bolton in. Club wont openly admit it but I think its more of a chance then anyone is realising atleast

Issue is we wont be able to split pick 3

Freo will trade you Pick 10 + 18 for 3. Problem solved.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Well you should know… he was in the best 22 in 2020.

What is he now, has he improved or has he just got 4 or 5 years older?

Another Des Hedland for them.

Yep and your #10 is the best at it

 

[Joao]

#10? He's one of the first blokes I'd pick to have a shot from <30m directly in front.

Did you mean #7? I wouldn't back that bloke if he was the only player in our front half and inside the goal square.

Let’s say Freo choose to not offer 10&11 and you don’t get Shai Bolton

You start 1-5 next year and the media get a hold of Freo for not giving up the pick that was only 7 picks the difference.

Difference between 7 picks costing longmuir his job.

If we are 1-5 without Bolton then we were right to keep our picks as we wouldn't be in the window we thought we were and need to reload through the draft.

Did you know Headland had a double knee cap?

 

[eastfreo75]

Seems like offer will be picks 10,18.

If Tigers want 10,11 they need to sweeten the deal a lot.

Any ideas?

Longmuirs problem, not Fremantle problem.

We’ve added 3 quality kids to our list that can take the place of Walters, Fyfe and JOM.

We’ve shifted back our window 12-24 months, but could still easily be 5-0 without Bolton.

How does Richmond handle sitting bottom of the ladder with a small forward starved of the ball getting a million a year? Then staying bottom for 5-10 years as the new Tassie team raids all the top picks and talent.

You end up with Andrew Gaff level talent instead of Jeremy Cameron (might be confusing my drafts but the point stands).

If you need my ideas to make you feel better that is a you problem.

My point stands.
