Good call… Aker had most except number 2 (stand on people’s heads)

He could get up there from time to time if he wanted to.
At age 35 in local footy.
There wasn't many better at kicking with both feet though.
Hahaha what a hang!
Can't recall him doing any at AFL level, but he's right up there with goalkicking ability, and can't count how many times I remember him streaming through the corridor and unloading a bomb goal from outside 50.

Most watchable player in the game according to Carey.
That must put you close to best player in the game.

Why isn't Bolton playing he's in my SuperCoach team?
Arguably cost The Tigers the game.
Was off the boil all night, he just has too many of these type of games to be regarded amongst the upper echelon of the game's elite.

Really had a poor game. His 1st for the year.
What if Tyson Stengle aka Steggles, has had a better season than Bolton, which you could make a case for ???
If over the preseason he can tidy up his goal kicking and increase his fitness base, he can reach some great heights.
It's on him though, depending on what work he wants to put in with his god given talent.

Imagine if he kicked straight he would be even better player he accumlates so many opportunities forward of centre his speed around the ground must scare the opposition.

He's like pre-2007 Gary Ablett Jr, he's good but he could be more. Needs to get fitter and dominate games from the midfield.

Well he’s better than Trac, that’s for sure. Averaging 1.8 goals a game compared to 0.8. Not far behind in score involvements either. Tracs 2nd in the league, Bolton is 4th.

Richmond received pretty good draft compensation in 2016 for losing free agent, Ty Vickery
Pick 29: Shai Bolton
I suppose they have Alastair Clarkson to thank for that. Imagine giving that uber-spud a 2 year $1.2 million deal.
Vickery played 6 games and kicked 2 goals for the Hawks
Bolton surpassed that in his first season at Tigerland (6 games, 3 goals)
He is currently on 86 games, 92 goals and looks set for a stellar 250 game career

Last time we had a gun number 29 who oppo fans wanted to punch that played in 2 flags in his first 5 years was the great this beautiful man:
He was 14 in this picture.
Balta, Tarrant, and 2022 North second rounder for a cooked Deledio.
Bolton for a little bit of Tyronery.
Our current co-captain Toby “makes opponents nervous” Nankervis for pick 46.
Nice business around that 2016-2017 era. Fanks mugz.
AFL soon put a stop to it when we were awarded pick 297 for Brandon Ellis on a 5 year $600k deal at Suns. And no pick at all when Conca went to Freo on a decent deal. campaigners.
We are up to our old tricks again though. Gifted Biggy Nyuon for Dan Butler. And Tom Brown for Jack “Goalside” Higgins will look like next level banditry in years to come.
Other clubs now scared to pick up the phone when we call looking to do a deal.
Meanwhile we trolled everyone by momentarily delisting Noah Gunberland last off season, before re-listing him when Dodoro and 16 other clubs contacted his agent within the first 12 seconds of the fake news being released.
Could be the best player in the comp next season, Cornes reckons he already is. What a steal.
Just needs to tidy up his finishing in front of goal.

Best player in the game is a stretch.
I will say this though, I once had him as one of the most overrated players in the game (that being said, I once had Cyril as overrated, so I am not a good judge)
That has been shown to be a VERY poor call.
He is a star and a player I would pay money to watch. One of my very favorite players.
Absolute gun!!

On form he is in the top 3, far better than Trac THIS season. Shoot me down but I would have Jezza Cameron and Touk Miller above him at 1 and 2.

Glad you've come to your senses. Both Cyril and Shai are high impact players.
My biggest pet peeve is assuming a player has had a good game because they got 30 touches. Bailey Smith gets 30 touches every week but his ability to influence the game with his touches is poor at this stage of his career. The game will eventually slow down for him but right now I'd take Shai's 15 touches vs Smith's every day of the week.
