Trade Requested Shai Bolton [UFA 2028] - Wants to join the Dockers

[Moo]

Can't do much about Baker but think they'll play hardball on the contracted guys. GC will cave, not sure where this one falls.

Are you guys happy with 6 for Rioli?

 

[tigs2010]

Are you guys happy with 6 for Rioli?

I would be. Doesn't sound like club is

 

[Daka]

Are you guys happy with 6 for Rioli?

I would be, but apparently we want more, I think Richmond is going to be ruthless this trade period.

Nothing to lose in the first week.

Don't want too many into the last day.

 

[bc27]

With where Freo finished this year they are essentially turning 9 + Lachie Schultz into Bolton, the only reason Freo fans are happy to give up 9 & 16 is because they know it's unders.

And it isn’t even going to be 9&10…it will be 11&12

 

[Eski3]

It's funny that fans views on what picks are reasonable is literally just agreeing with whatever the club says. Fans never seem to think that the club is OVER valuing a player

9 and 10 is very obviously overs and any Richmond fan who legitimately thinks otherwise is just being a nuffy. Doesn't mean we won't end up paying it (presumably with something coming back), but to sincerely suggest that Bailey Smith

is worth two top 10 picks is just dumb

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

Good neutral viewpoint here

Bolton has 4 years to run on a contract, Smith is out of contract.

How hard is it for people to get their head around this?

 

[freo_leo29]

The rumour was that the player wouldn't really fill a need but that it'd be made worthwhile via draft pick/upgrade.

Think you can rule out Freo, we aren't in desperate need of any cap dumping

Maybe Geelong? to fit Oliver in?

 

[freo_leo29]

With where Freo finished this year they are essentially turning 9 + Lachie Schultz into Bolton, the only reason Freo fans are happy to give up 9 & 16 is because they know it's unders.

We are actually happy to give up overs to get Bolton in because we really like him

Thats why us fans are happy to give 9 and 16 AKA overs

I have always said this will be a deal that will be in the top 5 of draft picks paid in history .

I will be right .

I mean even if it's 9 and 10 on its own this isn't true anyway, but whatever

Who is top 5 now?
Judd - pick 3 (Masten) pick 19(?) and Kennedy (pick 4)
….

 

[Tony_Clifton]

Step one: offer 9 and 16
Step two: trade 9 for a future first
Step 3: offer 10 and 16

 

[Tony_Clifton]

Judd - pick 3 (Masten) pick 19(?) and Kennedy (pick 4)
….

This was my list last time I had a quick look

Although blaisee considers pick 9&10/10&11 to be worth more than pick 2.

And ****ing croad

 

[Cobbler]

What would Tigers supporters rather?

A) 10 and 16 for Bolton
B) 9 and 16 for Bolton and 29
C) 9 and 10 for Bolton and 21

 

[Tony_Clifton]

And ****ing croad

I wanted to include croad but mcpharlin in there complicates things. Mcpharlin was a pick 10 so it's like something like croad + 10 for 1, 20 and 36

Yeah, but the cost was the hawks dynasty.

It's easy to melt in hindsight because Sam Mitchell was picked up at 36 but at the time Daniel Elston was considered more valuable. Who's that you say? It's who the hawks picked at 20

I mean even if it's 9 and 10 on its own this isn't true anyway, but whatever

Of course it is

It is more than freo got for weller

You are a true believer in the AFL draft value index points. I'll give you that.

However clubs stockpiling lower picks to match bids or trading out then back in to game the system is clear proof that the clubs don't believe in it.

I don’t make the rules mate

It’s simple mathematics

If it makes you feel better , it will
Not be what we get , but it will be what you will pay

I think a fair few of your Richmond pals would prefer pick 2 over 10&11

You’re leaving no room to back pedal are you. I don’t know what you’re expecting - because I don’t think you have stipulated but if you’re wrong and if it isn’t one of the top 5 trades in history - which none of your fellow Richmond posters are claiming - you’re going to look like a numpty aren’t you?

Your signature block even says you know that you know nothing.

Keep doing you though!
