More chance of a highly rated slider being available at 10. That trumps a bit of salary cap and a crappy 3rd round pick.

You act like 9 and 16 is insulting?
West coast will not be giving up the type of capital that richmond expect for a player like Bolton, would be terrible list management at this stage of the rebuild.

It's too much but unfortunately it is the likely price give or take some other moving pieces.

Cal Twomey this week: West Coast don't want to give up their current first or their future first for Bolton.
I agree, very much looking like the Eagles are gonna snag him with imaginary picks.

Honestly, the people pretending it might be WC are worse than than the Jackson ones. At least Jackson was uncontracted and like 20 years old.
Bolton clearly doesnt like playing in rebuilding teams, he's not leaving Richmond to join WC and the same reason Richmond will let him go is the exact same reason WC arent forking out for him.
We'll get being angsty in here for no reason when the trade is done 1st week with minimal fuss in a win for all three parties
I have no idea. They’re always more complicated than what us usual punters believe is necessary. But, to play your game of hypotheticals, I’ll have a crack.
Assuming nothing else is done prior, which is highly unlikely, here’s my offer.
Bolton, 41 and F3
9,16 and F3
I have no doubt we’ll give up 2 firsts. We’ll try incredibly hard to keep 10.
IF there’s absolutely no chance of other players (which I’m also doubtful of) we will go to 9&10 but it would likely involve 29 back and future exchanges or upgrades in our favour.

At the moment there is interest. However, nothing is 100% certain at this stage. Bolton will go to either Perth team if a suitable deal can be done. Tigers are chasing pick 3 and the Eagles hold that pick. The Tigers wish list is pick 1, 3 and 6.
I’m also confident that should Tigers demand a higher pick then we will be able to facilitate some exchanges but if that was the case then I’d imagine 3 or 4 clubs to be involved.
I can see Tigers getting 2 from North who move to 6 and 10. In some round about way they release Bolton and Rioli and receive 2 and 9 and whatever change between the 3 clubs.
What I’m saying is we have the collateral. It will 100% be done. It’s not like Bolton has selected Pies and they need to get inventive.
The Bolton, Baker and Rioli trades will all happen.
Rioli will include 6 - we can all argue about what other picks are involved into the day it gets done
Bolton will include 2 of 9, 10 and 16 - same argument about what those picks are and what other picks are traded
Baker is probably the toughest one to place right now, but both Freo and West Coast have the picks to get it done.
I have no doubt that all 3 get done
We will get him for our F3

Great for the Tigers but they aren't the only party involved. He'll be at Freo. Freo fans will say we paid something stupid, Richmond posters will curse the club for being weak on a contracted player. In reality, everyone will win including WC who haven't screwed their list with a dumb list decision.

100% Boltons not the answer for West Coast.
But they will be painfully aware they need some talent around Harley so the next 1-2 years isn’t so excruciating for him that his decision to go home is centred around this.
The worst possible outcome for them would be that they go full rebuild with little senior leadership then Harley decides to pull the plug.
How the coach and list manager work through this over the next two off seasons will be fascinating.
What’s your proposed deal list manager?
I can’t see anything good enough on offer that is worth Shai
So my bet is he stays and honors his contract

Gamble responsibly: You win some, you lose more.
I’ll take what you offered will not be accepted all day
Its sad Richmond fans are so hung up on what they will get for Bolton.
They should enjoy the premierships and let him move on.
Might need to pass that on to shai.. he wouldn’t have asked for a trade if it wasn’t going to get done
What about 9&10?
How can you not see a deal when we effectively have 4 firsts.
Anyway, you’re just wasting my time.

One club needs picks for a full rebuild.
The other needs quality players to contend in the short term.
Richmond supporters will value the picks and the hope that the draft gives them. Freo supporters should value the player and the hope that they will help get them a flag.
Unfortunately it seems that most Freo supporters in this thread are stuck with the Richmond mindset above.
