Pick 29: Shai Bolton
- Thread starter puregreen
- Start date
LOL, now corrected, thanks. A tad too excited and not concentrating on what i were doing
Think we all know what you were doing Caesar!!
Be careful. We need your eye sight in tact for your training reports
I reckon Edwards could go another 3-4 years easily. He'll be 31 in October and is in career best form; pretty durable as well.
Anyway; great news about Bolton
Great news for us. Now to concentrate on the next game. Go Shai!excellent news
Congratulations to Shai for staying with the Tigers, he could really explode next year, althoyugh I'm more than happy fgor him to really announce himself come the P/F
2020
Edwards
Rioli
Bolton
Stack
Pickett
D E Smith
And the possibility of another aboriginal lad possibly being drafted or rookied, and Mo Jnr in 202, its almost too much deliciousness.
The Tigers are the destination for Aboriginal lads in Victoria no doubt.
Glad to have Shai on board for the next 2 years, Eat Em Alive Tigers!!

Yep, Proud that the Tigers are so far advanced in indigenous inclusion, compare us to the Bulldogs:
Just listened to SEN, Gilbert McAdam, Bob Murphy saying it was a blight on the Bulldogs that they have no indigenous players on their list and have a poor history in this space. Not the first time I've heard this, think Caro last year said Bullies were that concerned that they embarked on an action plan to try and rectify and enlisted enlisted Brett Goodes to head things up. Below Age article how dire things are there.
Western Bulldogs want future Indigenous stars to call the west home
Western Bulldogs president Peter Gordon is determined to create an environment that fosters Indigenous talent in the future after entering 2019 without an Indigenous player on their list.

From memory, it took Collingwood and Hawthorn a long time to embrace indig. footballers.
I could be wrong.
But yeah, tigers with the the KG institute, X on board, and more recently the treaty Victoria partnership is just so *smile* smart and right.
if Benny Gale and Peggy ONeil were aboard the first fleet, we would be a better nation

Fantastic news. Shai has the potential to become a very influential player.
I still think he is more midfield/wing/Hbf than small forward but he is still a very dangerous small forward.
Can I start calling him Scissorhands junior yet?

They have Brad Lynch, who's played 9 games.
Not sure you can go with an attitude of "we need more Aboriginal players". Geelong, for all of the storied history with Polly Farmer, has had fewer Aboriginal players than the Dogs. 5 of the 15 are on the current list, plus Varcoe, Motlop & Christensen elsewhere.
Just five years back, Edwards was the only one on our list and questions were asked about Hardwick's capacity to manage Aboriginal players. Things can change quickly.
