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

[freo_leo29]

Maybe Freo supporters don't understand "We will not be trading in any Rucks with our picks"
So trying to offer a Ruckman who hasn't even been offered a new contract by Freo as part of the trade deal for Bolton is laughable and I'm sure David Walls isn't as foolish as some Freo supporters to even offer.

Freo supporters aren't offering him tbf, we are worried you might poach him as steak knives, none of us want to lose him

It just seems wild for us to lose Knobel, who do the Tigers have developing in the VFL as a ruck? Colina?

I think Ryan is more of a forward

Ryan is way more ruck than forward. Dominates the VFL.

The general consensus was 9 and 16 with nothing back was pretty close, if Richmond have been tracking Knobel (clubs track everyone) then every chance they'd rather him as a sweetener than something else.

Just a thought because it's odd from a Freo perspective there's been nothing on him.

From your perspective it's not close, despite the fact the consensus before the picks moving a little bit, it was universally agreed that 9 and 10 wpuld require a lot of money paid and 9 and 16 would have nothing paid. 10 and 18 therefore can't be far off if at all...

What the **** is this 'general consensus' and 'universally agreed' gaslighting horseshit? It doesn't go to a vote of ****wit AFL jernos.

The whole 9 & 16 'consensus' came from Twomey's mail that 9, 10 and 16 were on the table for Bolton and Baker. To believe 9 & 16 were 'universally agreed' as Bolton's value, you'd have to agree that Baker was worth pick 10. Freo would not give 10 for Baker in a standalone deal, and Richmond would not accept 9 and 16 for Bolton. In reality, in the 9, 10, 16 scenario the 16 was for Baker.

It was the media consensus, even your mouthpiece Ralph said 9 and 16

Not sure if you're ignorant or dishonest.





If you wanna argue that Richmond won't accept that and they'll hold steadfast on it being Freo's top 2 picks, that's at least an arguable position. But pretending media reporting hasn't been that 9 and 16 (now 10 and 18) is what Freo are putting on the table is just lunacy.

10/11 for Bolton seems excessive. Richmond doesn't have much time before Tasmania joins the league, so surely the picks are worth more to them than Bolton. He isn’t a strong leader, he’s not crucial to keep around for the rebuild. Plus Bolton seems to have already accepted living in WA. Surely, even if they offered 11/18, Richmond would take that and run.

In my universe 9 & 16 is fine
He’s already moved here

All the best and Good luck in the future

Can someone please link to the source that shows Bolton has already moved back to WA?

He would have spent every offseason since being drafted back in WA (and then returning later in the year for pre season)

The Tigers supporters without their head up their arse were saying 9 and 10 with decent salary paid, ie 9 and 10 is obviously overs, many even agreed it could be 9 and 16 with nothing going back. Then you have plenty of Vic media saying the same thing.

Now, you can continue to live with your fingers in your ears but nothing I have said is untrue.
