Some people have sour grapes and say crap like that to make themselves feel better or too diminish our happiness.
Let them be unhappy while we bask in the happiness of his acquisition.

Let them be unhappy while we bask in the happiness of his acquisition.
Some people use words consistently without knowing what they actually mean, so always consider that fact.
Bolton is going to be a good acquisition once the media get over the 3 million first rounders we paid for him but he's got a lot to prove coming home and getting comfortable. Hopefully he doesn't switch off like the Wiz kind of did.

I have no doubt that Shai will be one of the most exciting prospects to ever don the purple.
Freo fans, we are in for a treat, this guy is electric.

I see what you doing here. You just waltz on in here saying amazing things about our new recruit from a well grounded and experienced perspective, which gets our hopes up so high that our Purple hearts explode due to excitement and anticipation of watching a genuine small forward superstar that our fans have been crying out for and our team’s “missing premiership link”, which wipes out all BF Freo supporters in one simple post. You’re not as clever as you think. I’m still recovering from the Hogan trade. Go back to Tigerland. Shai will be a bust. You’re not taking me out, good sir!
PS - I’ve been walking around with a stupid grin on my face since the trade and every once in a while I randomly yell out “Booollllllton!” If your post doesn’t kill me due to excitement, my wife might have me committed…

Not sure what the first part of you post is about... my post wasn't directed at you but the millions of Eagles/Richmond fans that were salty on Facebook bagging out the trade. They had sour grapes because they wanted him and couldn't have him so all of a sudden he was worthless and downhill skier.
But yes I hope he proves his worth and does not coast along. Still maintain we paid a fair price for a player with 4 years in his contract.

Oh nothing bad. Just more the fact that people do get salty without understanding why they are. Of course, I'm fairly certain Eagles fans know why they are salty. My highlight of the year was their trading.
He hopefully will. He definitely will when Kozzie joins him next year.

He did love a good suspension and a night out on the piss
The wiz didn't slow down when he was playing.

Think he will be our first Norm Smith medalist.
Don't really understand the people who would be happy with Kozzy but aren't with Shai
Like sure, have a preference but to want Kozzy and not Shai?
Shai kicked 2 goals less this year with a much larger midfield role, in a team who only won 2 games

Okay he didn't slow down but...

Can't we have both?
Evidently no, if Melbourne were any chance to trade him in contract, it would've been this year
I would argue that Shai did not have a bigger mid field role, Kozzie has been attending quite a lot of centre bounces this year, i would say they spent very similar amounts of time in the middle actually.
Don't think we would have had the capital to get it done to be honest. If you remember there was talk of a few players wanting to come to us. I do wonder if he was one and we couldn't get it done
We had 2x firsts leftover and pick 30
Definitely had the capital, Dees shut it down entirely
Fair point. He's out of contract new year though no?

We need.a player who can capitalize on turnovers from the opposition.
Bolton is going to be very good for us, he just has intangibles (when to cherry pick, big marks, freak goals, drag his opponent up the ground, KICK GOALS, etc..)
Even better, he will elevate our other forwards, they'll be busting their guts to get to his level.
Of course Banfield is another stratosphere but give Bolton some time to get acclimated..
