Recommitted Shai Bolton [Re-signed to 2023]

[Elmer_Hauser]

Would be staggered if he left Richmond, but you never know..

I don't think The Tigers will or should trade him to one of their most hated rivals in Essendon, there would be riots at Punt Rd

The Freo connection esp with RE Cerra seems to me the best outcome for Richmond if Bolts well Bolts.

Call me crazy but reckon he is better off for his future staying put at Tigerland.

Bit precious mate? Hill won a B and F at Freo and was rated high enough to be paid $900k a year. They play different roles but in terms of talent are not vastly different.

They are vastly different.

Hill was an elite wingman ( one dimensional) but very limited as a player and far from complete.

Shai is the complete midfielder, inside / out with explosive pace that is a serious threat resting forward. These types are worth their weight in gold.

Hill is more comparable to B Ellis than Shai Bolton when comparing talents

The key point, which you are missing, is that Brad Hill's performance went down after being paid $900k a year. I hope the same doesn't happen to Bolton.

Not at all precious it was just a poor example. I'd argue in terms of talent they're a long way apart.

Bolton is a gun but he's not worth 2 x top 10 picks. 2 x picks in the teens (12-15) or one top 7 pick imo. Cant ask for any more for an uncontracted player.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Agree his value is 2 firsts with a 2nd going back.

So a top 10 plus a pick in the teens.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Bolton would have to be worth the two good firsts (at least 1 top 10) with a 2nd pack max trade package with how he's performed this year but you just know any team that gets him wont get that in actual performance

Wasn't Tim Kelly traded for two 1st rounders, pick 24 and a swap or 3rd and 4th rounders or something?

Kelly was out of contract and 24 at the time.

Surely that's a comparable situation?

I think it's a good example of trade value where the first round picks are quite late (think the two first rounders ended up being 14 and 18). I doubt it's that much if one of those firsts were in (or projected to be in) the top 10.

 

[THE_GUN]

Nah when player is uncontracted the buying club has the selling club by the B***s
If Bolton said im going home tomorrow the best we can expect is freo's 1st rounder which looks like being around #8-#10

It Hurts but that's the way it is unfortunately

If a club is dumb enough to offer a 21 year old 900k + a year then they're dumb enough to pay two top ten picks at a minimum! Would be shattered to lose him, but that money *SHOULD* be reserved for the top 1% of players in the comp currently at their absolute peak!

If the rumours are right and we're offering 2 years at 500-600k then Id say that's pretty much his value! Let him dominate for a couple years and actually earn that kind of money!

Shai Bolton on track to finish top 5 in the brownlow and make all australian?

 

[sante]

Ralph Carr is his manager. Bolton doesn’t need much from the Tigers, he’ll earn more from sponsors etc like Dusty is.

 

[THE_GUN]

Richmond Football Club has enough sponsors and influential supporters to make life very comfortable for its champions after they are finished their careers
As well as sponsors knowing how marketable their players are due to the following and exposure the players get.

Shai Bolton will be doing Bonds / Jeep / Aami adds soon

 

[BringOn2017]

What happened to him going back to WA ?

He was back there last week and the week before that.

Likes Melbourne better so came back

Definitely in the mix for AA and Brayshaw came 3rd a few years back so I'm not sure Brownlow finishing position is an accurate way to measure a players worth.

It's the Shai and Jai show!

most overrated player in the comp

2016 afl draft
#28 - Patrick Lipinski
#29 - Shai Bolton

Yeah Agree he is no where near the Lipinski level
but i can understand why you would feel that was

 

[adogsfan5]

Kids a freak. If we didn’t have Treloar on our books he’d be bloody perfect for us but we clearly can’t afford now.

Kelly was coming off a 5th place finish in the Brownlow (only 2 votes off second). Bolton is a gun but he's not at the level Kelly was at the time he was traded
