Pick 29: Shai Bolton

Would like to see him more inside mid. He and stacky can alternate fwd mid

I agree with Harry. I'd drop Butler who has lost his way, and needs to find it again quickly - at VFL level.
Then I'd have Castagna (we need the chaos) Rioli and one of Stacky/Bolton as the third small.
For the three mediums/bigs It'd be Riewoldt/Chol, Lynch and Martin/Caddy.

Liked his game a lot. One thing he needs to do though is NOT fly in packs with Lynch. It’s hard enough getting Lynch into good marking situations without adding Shai and his opponent to the pack. Besides, he’s bloody good front and square.

Also flew in from the side to stuff up Ellis from marking when it was clearly Ellis's to mark. He just needs to be more aware of players around him before flying for screamers. He was doing that a lot before he was dropped.
 
Gun. Young gun. Blind Freddy can see it. Give him three years before FREO does

He's not an inside Mid, he's just not, he's the flash and the cherry on top.

He can get the ball inside and has good hands to get it out but he's just so quick and kicking is so sweet that I see him as more outside.

Plays his best football in the guts where he stays involved in the game. Today showed that.

Great game. Gives plenty at center bounces.

He also moves so fast that twice the commentators suggested he ran to far:rolleyes:
