Pick 29: Shai Bolton

Gotta play him in the guts. Cumbers and MoJu can handle the forward stuff.

Shai will still kick plenty of goals playing mid anyway as his mandate is and should be mid and forward of centre only, (what's good for Dusty is good for Shai). Our wingers drop back for defensive assist anyway.

He has blown chances to have multiple goal 5-6 goal games recently and win them off own boot. Sort that and he's the best player in the comp.

On The Couch : Jonathon Brown posed the question "is Shai Bolton the new Dustin Martin?", and the following table to support it:

Most Impactful Players In The Competition - (Chain To Score %) :

Shai Bolton : 45.2%
Bontempelli : 36.3%
Jye Caldwell : 35.7%
Chad Warner : 35.3%
Petracca : 34.8%

**Shai has a substantial gap on those mentioned :)

Is that chains to score goals or behinds C? ;):))
Can't wait for the day those shots at goal mostly sail through the middle. Not far away..

Was a huge reason for our turnaround in the second half when he moved onto the ball.
Kid is definitely a star in the making.

There was one centre clearance in the second half where he sliced through the opposition like they were statues. Amazing talent.

The media Shai love continues :

Tim Watson : "Is he the most watchable player in the game right now?"
Kane Cornes : describing the Richmond utility as “the best player in the game right now”.
Gerrard & Bobbo : Going Gaga about Shai on 360


Bolton finished the match with 24 disposals, seven marks, a game-high nine inside-50s, team-high four centre clearances, two goals, game-high 12 score involvements and team-high 711 metres gained.

*Anyone who thinks Shai is not a superstar already needs their head read, just sit back and enjoy watching the most exciting player in the game who just happens to play for Richmond:):clap2

Contracted to end of 2023, current on $600,000 per season.

His stocks have just shot through the roof.

Love him, but I hope he doesn’t spend too much time on Denis Pagan’s famed Media Street.

They will come from everywhere.
So important that we get him signed and *smile* wasting money on bringing in players that will cost us a small fortune.
Dusty will go at the end of next year, we will just erased his name and replace it with Shai name on the contract. 1.2mil 7 yrs

Yet you have been very consistent with stating that you want us to bring about 5 players in in the off season!! So what it is? Bring players in or not, or does it just depend which of your many personalities posts for you?
 
HS Subsriber blocked article, does it shed any light on any further extension of Shai's end of 2023 contract? :

Shai and tell: Where Tigers stand with new Bolton deal

Shai Bolton is emerging as the most dynamic player in the game but what will the Tigers have to pay to keep him at Punt Road? And why is he so happy to sign a new deal?

The big surprise out of those attachments is that it says they believe we will re-sign Stack.
