Player Watch Shai Bolton - The Next Best Player In The Game

[Angak]

At 22 yrs of age, Shai has everything to take the mantle as the best player in the game in the next 2-3 yrs.

He has a combination of pace, power, agility, inside/outside game and that knack of not getting tackled when he looks gone i.e. Ablett/Judd. He has an ability to burst out of stoppage, rarely goes to ground and has the best side step in the game.

As good as Petracca and The Bont are I think he will go past them in the next few years. Obviously, with Dusty nearing 30 I am expecting his performance to decline over the next 2-3years.

He’s no Nik Cox.

Has a lot of natural gifts, will be interesting to see how he develops over the next few years.

Good to see you watched AFL 360 tonight, well done.

Lol Zac is a good player but has 1/4 the talent of Bolton

Not all all, what did they say ?

 

[Power Raid]

I just can't see it happening

Not sure if he's best in the league material. Marked him down for AA selection this year though.

Seems like a light switch has been flicked on and people suddenly see Bolton. Twelve months ago he wasn’t good enough for 22u22.

A cynic might suggest the media is out to cause trouble yet again by appealing to Bolton’s ego. If I could cause everyone in footy media to be unemployed by snapping my fingers, then halve the number of jobs available, I’d do it.

Agree. Still think too many so called footy experts and fans look at how many possessions a player gets as compared to the damage one does with each possession. Bolton impact per possession is off the charts.

I agree with your opening post . But as usual Essendon Nuffies put up dumb comments about 6 game players being better . When challenged they’ll blame the umpires ...it’s always the e umpires ... they’ll call for an explanation as the mental giant Robbo puts it ... FFS.

Shai easily the best . Proof is in the pudding . No contest . Any other view is just wrong . And stupid .

It’s nearly at the stage where I’m as comfortable with the ball in Bolton’s hands as I am with Dusty. He’s a very good user. But Dusty turns 30 this month and nothing the media writes fazes him. Bolton’s 22 and still a little capricious, vulnerable to silly talk about his worth.

He has the cocky, I'm better than you vibe about him. But all the great players do.

It's been a pretty quick rise. Apart form a few big games mid season he was just a cog in the Richmond machine in 2019. Then last year he was dropped early on before breaking out as a midfield/forward. Certainly should've made 22u22 but he kind of burst out from nowhere.

The media pumping up a young player who's out of contract is hardly a new thing. I don't think they're going to change anything about him. It's also not like clubs wouldn't have noticed his form.
