Pick 29: Shai Bolton

[artball]

a bit selfish yesterday.
but maybe indicative of the lack of trust in the forward line.

Checked out?
Dissapiunted in him.
If he wants out or talking to WA clubs his call but should have been playing midfield that last.

 

[Redford]

not at our club, but i know there has been players who, in the last 3 or 4 games of the season have told their club they are going the following season.

Have then said, look ill be out injured the last 3 rounds (cue in the rack) or play me out of the action so to speak.

It definitely happens. Last year Norf told a bunch of players 3 rounds out from the end of the season that they were done.

A club telling players to look for options for the following season is a bit different than a player telling the club they are leaving and wont try for the last few games, but playing anyway.

Yeah sorry. Wrong way round after a re read. A two way street, anyway.

 

[French Tiger]

We were crying out for him to stand up & deliver some match winning type stuff. Had chances & moments to but just couldn't deliver unfortunately.

 

[TheCan]

So this is what happened?

Shai: Hey Dimma, I'm leaving for Freo at the end of the year. Sorry mate, but want to head home.

Dimma: Bugger. Oh well. We might as well play you for the few games we have remaining.

Shai: Yeah thanks. Oh by the way, don't play me as an inside mid as I don't want to get injured before I go to Freo.

Dimma: Yeah no probs Shai. That sounds like a reasonable request. Wouldn't want Freo's prized recruit to get injured.

Shai: Awesome, thanks Dimma.

Dimma: No probs Shai. Anything else?

Shai: Not at the moment, but if I think of anything I'll let you know.

lol classic

 

[Aegean Tiger]

Playing like a footballer with far too many thoughts in his head.

 

[MalenyTiger]

Reckon he's leaving

 

[zippadeee]

Reckon he's leaving

I was told he is staying and not because of money.
*If he leaves we will get a top 5 pick

 

[22nd Man]

" has Committed to Tigers" according to SEN just now. NO details of contract length. good news. I thought he was more likely to go than stay.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Don’t ya love been wrong

 

[jb03]

Don’t ya love been wrong

I guess you would be pretty used to it

 

[The Mole]

FWIIW I think Shai is carrying an injury. Possibly sore groin.

 

[St Kevin]

Great to hear he has recommitted. $600,000 a fair price too, could have gotten a lot more elsewhere. Now the list management team will probably turn to Stack and the unenviably job of picking between Chol and CCJ.

Sam Edmunds suggesting $600k per year but no length of term.
*Two years would take him to free agency. Anything more would be a bonus for us

$600K will be cheap in hindsight. He's a kid with plenty of improvement in him still. Hasn't looked like he's playing with any joy or spark. Hopefully this news is correct.

 

[spook]

*Two years would take him to free agency.

*Three years

 

[spook]

Anyway, great news.

"Now, Adam. Shai has signed on for a lot less than he could have got at Freo. Your turn."

 

[Tigers of Old]

Very good news.
Has been playing like it's a lead weight around his neck.
Hopefully now gets back to the footy earlier in the season.
