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

[PorcelainBus]

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

So, a points value of pick 4 for Bolton? The Mighty Cats paid a points value of pick 6 for Cameron . . .

I don't really care about points value can you put it in actual terms

Actually pick 3

 

[freo_leo29]

Points values mean nothing

If they did then we can easily grab the Tigers a bunch of points equal to pick 1

Would any Tigers fans like that for Bolton?

Explain what you mean by actual terms? Cameron is a generational player - is Bolton?

 

[freo_leo29]

New trade request

25 + 30 + 35 + 40 + 45 + 46 for Bolton


I'll get Blaisee to sign

I don't know what a generational player is.

Oh. By actual terms I just thought you could state the terms of the trade. The ins and outs. I could look it up but you've butted in here and I feel that's on you.

Top5 in terms of draft picks ever!

Wouldn't that be 9,10 and 27 I reckon Tigers fans might take that . . .

Thank you for proving my point on points values meaning nothing

also that would be more than pick 1!

Bet we couldn't trade those 3 for pick 1 though!!

One of the leading players in the competition in their particular role . . . faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound . . . Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No . . . it's Jeremy Cameron!

In that case Shai Bolton is a generational player every third week or so.

Well . . . I reckon Gold Coast might take you up

"Butted in" on a post in The Trades thread - Hmm - wasn't aware that was a thing but ok

We got pick 11 (i think) for Jeremy Sharp - you got him off them for nothing

 

[Tony_Clifton]

Well, you're a Geelong supporter trying to insert Jeremy Cameron into the conversation to make yourself feel better.
Well congratulations Jeremy Cameron is a generational player and you gave up the equivalent of 2434 points or something.

Are you not saying that 9 and 16 on points value is more than fair compared with Cameron trade and being argued with by a Freo fan?

Confused.

 

[Alfonz]

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 one late first and Shai Bolton is worth two top 10 picks is just dumb

Except we wouldn't be paying 9+10 for Bolton. It would essentially be 9 for Bolton (unders) and then 10 for the maximum salary cap relief possible. It's astounding to me how many Freo supporters are continuing to ignore this, especially when we are trying to cram in the most players out of any team in the top 100 paid players list.

That list is made up speculation by journo’s. Don’t believe for a second we have that many players paid in the top 100.

Not to mention is based on that year.

So if we’ve front loaded a contract, they’ll be on this year, and never be seen again.

Freo have missed so many trade targets in the past, we kept front loading contracts. It's why we've got the money to in the bank.

Not only that, Schultz leaving meant serong got a bonus.

Logue leaving meant cox and Darcy got a boost early to smooth it out later.

There’s a reason those deals are done after trade period, same as brayshaw this year. Just waiting to see if he gets a bonus or not, depending on who comes in.

I would suggest Freo give pick 9+10 and Richmond pay half of the salary of the 3 remaining 4 years of the contract while we are rebuilding so it helps us fill the 90% min cap than Freo add +2 more years on the deal of their own negotiation.

It becomes 6 year deal for 25 going on 26 year old in december, at the end of the deal he is 31/32.

Exactly.

Adding salary in costs draft picks but frees Freo up for future players as well.

There are more moving parts than just a player for picks. I assume given where Freo is now they want to add Shai to supercharge their offence (which he will do), and by rumour are looking for Warner. If they can get the picks and $ right Freo will turn a contending quality list into a super list. I could be wrong but there are most things in play than most in this thread consider.

 

[Tony_Clifton]

I appreciate all this grown up talk about salary being part of the deal. Mainly because I've been hurt after losing players I like for the sake of 100 grand or so.
