Pick 29: Shai Bolton

[Mycotchinrules]

Fatigue and attrition all over the ground towards the end.

But Shai bouncing around racking up clearances like he just ran through the banner.

Freak

I can’t have been the only one who loved him giving it to Docherty after kicking the sealer. Personal highlight.

I thought it very very poor sportsmanship!

but on a side note I loved it and laughed my arse off.
Tigers players around had a smile too.
My guess he was giving some lip during the game and got served his arse by Bolton

$hai would have been reminding him of the footsteps Docherty heard that led to Aarts’ goal, along with him breaking Docherty’s tackle.

 

[caesar]

He flicked the switch after some quiet practice games.

And what did I tell you about practice games

I've called him Footsteps Docherty for years.

 

[TrialByVideo]

I've called him Footsteps Docherty for years.

Wouldn't know him from a bar of soap and obviously well respected within Carlton's five walls. ... but how he's a captain has me bamboozled. ... unlike our bloke, I can't see him ever sticking his head in a hole or carrying a team to victory!

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

He silenced his critic last night.

He is our next superstar. Also talking of banners does anyone know why we didn't have them last night? FFS please don't tell me it's a COVID thing.

A fire hazard with all the pyrotechnics.

Yeah where's the banner?

 

[Willo]

[Disco]

He's a good clearance player coz he's super quick over the first few steps. Freakish acceleration which gives him space over his opponent

He's our Fred Astaire.

 

[bringbakflemmo]

Great evasive skills and pace out of traffic.
The Hair’s a bit meh but I love his footy.

 

[Mr Brightside]

2 great things about Bolton’s game last night is that it looks like we have added another kid who can be part of the midfield rotations weather that be in the guts , wings or flanks , the other thing is he is very different to our other mids , now and future . Going on our most probables in 3 or 4 years in Ross, Dow and RCD again Bolton’s quite different to all of them, that’s a great mix.

I also think as he becomes a better mid he will become a more dangerous resting deep forward.

Im not on the superstar bus , but I’m in the mini van in traffic behind it

 

[Tiger Rob]

The lads just gone 22 as of December. He’s just beginning to reach his potential. He will be a superstar.

 

[Redford]

Killed it in the last quarter.

 

[caesar]

Killed it in the last quarter.

Does he get a game next week Red?

SUPERSTAR for me, surprise, surprise

 

[Tigers of Old]

He's so exciting to watch. A point of difference.
Sure his disposal can be a bit off at times (but so can Cotch's, Shank's , even Dusty use to miss targets) but the great thing about Shai is he's a genuine attacking game breaker & play maker. With creativity comes the odd error but I hope he keeps taking it on cause it's magic.
Hopefully now a permanent fixture in the midfield.
