Pick 29: Shai Bolton

[Sir]

The lack of awareness when he got caught was really disappointing. A momentum killer!!! But is upside is obvious. Might be Townsend 2019!!!!

I love that he takes ‘em on. Didn’t come off today, but scares the *smile* out of defenders

 

[Brettstigers]

Didn't do anything to suggest that he couldn't be dropped. In a good team he is one of the bottom few. Good luck to him - he will always be looked at this year.

Can’t kick a set shot to save himself.
Not sure who’s worse him or Riewoldt

Are you serious?

Are you serious?

Jack was one of the best shot kicks in the game.
What did he kick today 4.3? One out on the full.

 

[Bill James]

He was not good today. Just because he has upside doesn’t mean he doesn’t play bad games.

 

[Tigers of Old]

7 touches, 1 tackle & no goals is not enough. Was the worst of our smalls.
He had a very poor game I thought. Might find himself dropped.

Had a poor game yesterday, kid's got buckets of talent but so do a shitload of other players in every team at this level. Just needs to ensure he doesn't try to take on everyone on the ground at times n utilises the first option he can find, or he'll become very predictable n get sat on hard. Won't hurt if he can flatten out a couple of his loopy up n under passes n nail a few set shot kicks. He's coming along o.k. but he's not quite there yet.

He has great awareness. Sometimes you get caught out when taking them on. Thems the breaks.

Dan Butler a chance??

Would allow Ross to come in which would give us a different type of mix. Bit more hardness and more clearances - a little less flair. Lambert/Caddy/Cotchin do the forward line rotations rather than Bolton.

 

[tigertime2]

No way Bolton gets dropped.

 

[tigers80]

Look I'm not convinced but hey I'm a bystander in the outer.
I just think sometimes he thinks he has too much time to perform his tricks.
Hurry up son, time is money.

 

[TigerMasochist]

Dan Butler a chance??

Nah, Geezer sees trouble coming from in front of him, just runs into it n goes what the *smile*? Bolton's at least dancin n prancin trying to do a bit of soft shoe shuffle to find a way around the trouble, then gets a little bit lost n goes argh farkin dammit when caught. Subtle difference.

Hes told Ralph to wait until he wins the norm smith

 

[tigerdell]

he might play vfl this weekend. chance for longer midfield time and to get his hands on the pill.

He was in the centre on Sunday but was outmuscled/positioned by the lions mids

Don't think he is eligible as he has played more than 12 AFL senior games in the H & A season:

There are a whole lot of other rules on VFL finals eligibility so good luck with those

I reckon he’s a Carlton type.
Let’s give him to the blues for a swap of first rounders.
