Pick 29: Shai Bolton
- Thread starter puregreen
- Start date
Those tackles were more dangerous than the ones we were called on. Grabbing a jumper and slinging shouldn't be deemed a tackle.
No. Heard from another AFL player manager that his negotiation style annoys his players. He string’s everything out, creates doubt etc.. when for the most part the player wants a smooth negotiation process without too much media. Clubs and player managers know the real value of a player and it’s usually just the fine points of a contract that take time. Ralph makes everything a drama.
This is from the May 18 2022 interview with Shai posted a page or two back in this thread:
Bolton has not forgotten his roots — far from it — and family and culture remain an important part of his life.
However, he is now happily settled in Melbourne with his partner Hasina and last year inked a two-year contract extension with the Tigers until the end of 2023.
“I think staying in Melbourne you appreciate home more,” Bolton said.
“I didn’t really want to go back, to be honest. I like my life over here and my partner likes it here. My family come over when they can so I get to see them. There hasn’t really been any homesickness or anything. I just want to play at Richmond.”
Can someone please teach Shai how to give the ball back properly? FMD he concedes a 50m penalty every week

Gave them the goal that then gave them their impetus.
Needs to get his head out of his arse.
Consistency is Shais biggest problem. He goes from being the Dusty heir to the Castagna heir in a week. Hopefully with age that inconsistency margin gets smaller
On a positive note, Ralph Malph said Bolts is gonna be a papa in August. You'd think he'd settle here now.
Jon Ralph reckons he spoke to his new manager who said he sees no reason for Shai to be leaving. As long as he’s paid properly, he’ll likely stay. Very happy at Richmond, very settled, partner has a kid on the way etc.
Given its Ralph should we be worried ?

No it’s better not to hear. The umpires will apparently give you the benefit of the doubt from now on
Benefit of doubt will only apply to non Richmond players.
