Do you think if Bolton was playing for you this year you would have won the premiership? Or even made the finals?Unfortunately we have a group of supporters who would be happy if we went to the draft every single year so we can keep saying we have "so much potential" as we are young.
Would of taken care of your mob in Launceston, so yeah, finals for sureDo you think if Bolton was playing for you this year you would have won the premiership? Or even made the finals?
Maybe. Personally I don’t think this guy will be the difference between making or not making a GF, I think guys like Pearce, Darcy and Treacy all fit will be the difference. Bolton would be a nice piece for you guys but I would be pissed if I was a supporter and you gave any more than one of your top 10 picks!Would of taken care of your mob in Launceston, so yeah, finals for sure
Obviously by adding Bolton to their best squad which includes Pearce, Darcy and JT Freo become a contender. If Bolton played for freo for the last 6 weeks of the year, i think the would of won half the games they lost and been in it up to their eye balls right now.Maybe.

I think it makes a difference. Our scoring is almost entirely on taking marks thanks to quick movement from the half back line. We have zero class at ground level, I think it's a not small reason why we can't actually score from stoppage. Bolton means we have an another actual goal threat which is what we need.Maybe.

Bang on.Highest I've seen from an actual media outlet/person is the 2 firsts
A few of them say less than that
Only Richmond fans I've seen ask for 3 firsts or more than 2 firsts
Makes me feel pretty comfortable that 2 firsts will get it done in the end, obviously Freo fans want lower but I think 2 firsts is fine, will be interesting to see what comes back for those 2 firsts, would depend on which firsts they are, obviously 9 is a lock
Going to be people unhappy on both sides, means it will fall about right, just annoying we are out of finals, means this 6 weeks is going to feel longer, this thread gonna crack a shittonne of pages
Stringer has had a pretty good year, but his impact overall is a lot less than Bolton's, exactly Bolton has still kicked 34 goals & people have said he has had terrible year which he probably has by his standards.From Robbo at the HS.
3. MUCH OF A MUCHNESS
Jake Stringer has kicked 42.25 from 23 games this year and Mick Malthouse believes the Bombers should flick him. Too inconsistent, Malthouse said. Shai Bolton has kicked 34.26 this year from 22 games and if he officially asks for a trade to Fremantle, Richmond will ask for two first-rounders. It’s out of whack for two players who play forward-mid.
I am not saying Bolton was better, Neale was very good as an accumulator that lacked hurt factor, this was the same knock on him early at the lions, he then found another level and added goal kicking to his resume a bit more frequently.
That said, they are different players but add similar levels of importance.
Neale is the cake, you build around him, then when you are ready to challenge, you add the cherry on the top that you need to take the next step. You dont win flags without either type.
It's very similar actually.I hate sidetracking threads but misinformation I hate even more.
Neale averaged more goals per game for Freo than he does for Brisbane.
Still means he didn't add it to his resume thoughIt's very similar actually.
same same.
We would have made the finals.Do you think if Bolton was playing for you this year you would have won the premiership? Or even made the finals?
He won both his Brownlow's at the Lions though so it's fair to say he is a better player now.Still means he didn't add it to his resume though
What Neale did was go to a finals team and get some spotlight over East
Straight away he is a big recruit and has media attention, us Freo fans knew what we had
No its not. Its a lazy thing to say. Check the stats. I put them all some pages back.He won both his Brownlow's at the Lions though so it's fair to say he is a better player now.
If don't think he has been a better player at the Lions you are just being hell biased.No its not. Its a lazy thing to say. Check the stats. I put them all some pages back.
And given he got 20 votes for Freo in a 4 win team (2016), he well and truly had is Brownlow ability long before he left.
Its not obvious otherwise there would be a large statistical discrepancy and there isn't.If don't think he has been a better player at the Lions you are just being hell biased.
It's freaking obvious to tell he has gone to another level since crossing.
Stats aren't everything, Shai Bolton's 2023 stats were better in a lot of areas than his AA 2022 for example. most people would say his 2022 year was a lot better.Its not obvious otherwise there would be a large statistical discrepancy and there isn't.
Do you know Dan from Melbourne?lol of course you do.
I mean things have been going so well, for so long, why risk it ?
Already been addressed.I hate sidetracking threads but misinformation I hate even more.
Neale averaged more goals per game for Freo than he does for Brisbane.
If Bolton and Baker play for Freo yesterday, Freo win that game.
I have never seen a team fumble more than what they did yesterday.
