Confirmed Shai Bolton, pick 14 & F3 (Rich) traded to Fremantle for picks 10, 11 & 18

So now that Baker and Graham have chosen West Coast over Freo, what happens if Bolton does the same ?

He won't. He wants to win games and do what he pleases in the forward half. Freo is perfect for him.

Highly unlikely Bolton goes to the WC. If he does, they will need to split pick 2.

You guys miss out on receiving the GOAT, Bailey Banfield in a trade

 

[Azz 27]

What is the chance of Bolton going to West Coast now?

Then Bolton probably goes to the Eagles

not zero

That's for sure

Would be a big slap in the face for freo

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Good draft for lots of picks

We weren't ever interested in Graham lmao. Get either your facts or grammar straight.

What happens if West Coast choose Bolton is the far better question. Thus far everything coming out has demonstrated a reluctance to part with the draft bounty that would be needed to get him.

But to entertain a fairly silly hypothetical, 1 avenue for Freo to get better would be shut off which would sting. But when you have 3 firsts, there's no real bad options. It'd be quite funny to see West Coast destroy their draft hand for TWO 26+ year olds as a rebuilding team though. I believe West Coast are competent, so can't see that one happening.

I'm hoping Bolton picks WCE and we just deal with them makes it more simpler with Matty Clarke as the new list boss.

I want to see some Freo melts!

Won't happen.

 

[freo_leo29]

It's obviously not going to happen but it would be pretty hilarious to see Bolton pick west coast

Don't think you'll get many Freo melts on here but the west coast fans would


Freo fans would be laughing at that mistake in a rebuild, been there, done that

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Would I be upset? I suppose, I'm really looking forward to watching him in purple. Biggest emotion would be confusion though. Would be one of the strangest trades ever.

 

[blaisee]

Bolton rejecting Freo for West Coast will be a disaster for Freo

 

[freo_leo29]

Bolton rejecting Freo for West Coast will be a disaster for Freo

Don't worry, it isn't going to happening


Is Bolton rejecting Richmond a disaster for them?

 

[benfica]

Would be annoyed for about 1min then straight to laughing at the eagles for selling the farm again

 

[freoforever94]

 

[Daka]

That will have Freo fans even more worried!

 

[Danog]

Hey sandgropers

 

[Joao]

That will have Freo fans even more worried!

Literally nothing has changed.

 

[MadMundy]

That will have Freo fans even more worried!

Nope, he's been on for us since July, he's not going from one bottom feeder to another bottom feeder.

 

[Alfonz]

Sorry to disappoint you, but no it won't. Have absolutely zero concerns about Bolton going to WC. Not happening.
