Thats easy,3 cups in the cupboard.Now they are looking to feather there own nests.

Hmmm......so the club isn't worth sticking around to help when they need it most?

What we need most is a bucketload of elite young talent

 

[Mr Magic]

have not read this thread but will say RFC rates Shai, he is not going anywhere, unless....


Shai is a gun, no amount of BS can convince me otherwise, and he is fun to watch and entertaining

pissy little deals is not going to cut it

and just on this small forward category crap, everyone knows Shai's proven versatility, he can be effective in more ways than jumping on shoulders and kicking goals, in finals to.

lotta players get hyped and do not deliver comes finals time as quintessential flat track bullies lacking the class factor

And to be clear, 9 and 16 is a pissy little deal?

yep

take 9 and 16 to the draft if you love it that much

we have uninjured Shai, who avoids injury, goes not pick up hammies and many years of Shai would be delightful, only young and not burdened with crash and bash and hard running wearing him down over the years

Maybe like the last time you had a bucketload of picks in 2004.

1. Deledio
4. Tambling
12. Meyer
16. Pattison
20. Polo

Joao now the party can really begin

 

[Mr Magic]

Joao now the party can really begin

even Ross Lyon said he is a star, no one can bluff their way around this

Don't do it to yourself man

 

[Mr Magic]

I actually think Shai could go to West Coast involving pick 3 and Chad could come over and join them next year, that would be a uplift for West Coast with a more developed Harley Reid and friends

 

[nurries]

So called "Superstars" dont get 5th in a F&B for an 18th team

 

[Morro]

Dont engage, I repeat, DOOO NOT ENGAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I won't debate he's star, just that he shouldnt be worth more than other stars.

 

[Mr Magic]

everyone knows he was saving himself, he knows when to hold them, when to fold them, thats why he can stay at RFC as a smart player

I suppose it is another way of saying Shai has gears, is that why WA clubs missed him in his draft

 

[Mr Magic]

you probably think average joe is a star

 

[Morro]

Turns out they do, sooooooooooo!

Also relevant to position played, 90% small forward in a team with no KPF. Please atleast try to be less silly.

I wonder what he would of come in ours?

Caleb Serong – 240 votes
Andrew Brayshaw – 231
Hayden Young – 200
Josh Treacy – 185
Sam Switkowski – 168
Jordan Clark – 168
Luke Ryan – 154
Alex Pearce – 144
Luke Jackson – 130
Brandon Walker - 118

I’m think between Pearce and Jackson, Switkowski is an outlier IMO. Luke Ryan got AA and came 7th. Lol

But now the Richmond Danster is here the fun is about to really kick off.

That's a lot of concentrated crazy in one place.

 

[Ctl]

Richmond keeping their best player is hardly a disaster scenario, we will still have pick 1, pick 6, pick 18, pick 21 and maybe pick 20 or 12 as well. Can't go chasing elite talent then scoff at the price

Its a strange angle. By most of your supporters own admission, he is best in a good team of which you guys just might be, if you play your cards right.

It's a lot worse than you think...

May God have mercy on your soul

The only reason the conversations are even taking place about Shai to Freo and Rioli to Gold Coast are Richmond know the position they're in rebuild wise. They need top picks and 18 year olds infinitely more than they need top players in their mid 20s. If Richmond didn't think trading these players was in their best interests, they'd just say "lol nope".

The most similar team list-position wise to Richmond in the entire AFL is...West Coast. West Coast have the exact same need to prioritise top picks. The fact some Richmond fans are wilfully ignoring this basic fact and imagining that West Coast trading pick 3 in a Shai Bolton pursuit is a real possibility is hilarious.

bloody oath, Shai has gears, we can still shoot up with him later on and win more premierships
