Pick 29: Shai Bolton
- Thread starter puregreen
- Start date
Ripper game by Shai, kid's developing into one hell of a player. Almost looks like he forgets to stop dancing sometimes when he goes for his kicks, just seems to be a touch off balance at times. Not many players in the comp that can somehow appear to be going in three directions all at the same time n then still get through traffic.
Rubber Man.
I’d actually pay to go and watch players like him from opposition clubs. But there are none.
Just an unbelievable talent.
Unique.
his second half in the 20GF was enormous. Based on the importance of that game, I reckon that was better than this game, despite having more possies here.
SUPERSTAR for me, surprise, surprise
The other thing is , we all class “ superstars “ differently , i class superstars as pretty much the modern word for champion , so I’d probably only have 10 in the league, others would have 50, fact is hisbloody good and his ours
Does he get a game next week Red?
Hmmm. I’ll assess that during the week. Iffy.
That’s a great point Mac, ” his second half” that’s what weve seen from Shai and so many other young star for years , they play great cameos, then great halves and then great games then great seasons, I thought that was Shais finest four quarter performance, next step same again next week
Hard-working.
Does all the extras.
Early in the match he seemed a little impatient to impose his talent on the game. He wasn't dominating, and this seemed to frustrate him. Superstars believe they should be dominating. But he kept working, working, and working until he was consistently influencing contests later in the game.
There's a lot of gifted players who only ever show glimpses. Shai's prepared thoroughly every preseason and gone above that category of footballer. And since Indigenous players have a history of being described as magical, freakish, or having some kind of innate physical ability that doesn't require hard work, I think it's important to recognise the work ethic responsible for his performance.
I have a good feeling he'll work as hard as possible to close the gap between himself and his model for greatness, Dusty.

Would give great impact as the sub ........
Is he in our best 30 do you reckon ?
When is his next contract due? He’s a must keep for me, he’ll be the best of his generation.
Out of our injury woes early last season we have found two real players of our future in Bolton and Balta. For young kids they have matured incredibly quickly and easily amongst our best
Bolton’s brilliance shines through
Shai Bolton showcased his exquisite skills in last Thursday night’s Round 1 victory over Carlton.
