Yeh, he has kicked 14 goals 18 in the last 7 games! Missed at least 7-8 "easy" chances. He's the best player in the game*

Pick 29: Shai Bolton

Richmond's best player now with the Tiger King aunavailable and below his best for numerous reasons.
Even the Tiger King said he was amazing and the most talented kid he's ever seen also the athleticism of an alley cat.
Wait till he gets consistency.

From almost the beginning of his first year with us 2018, I have been one of Shai’s most enthusiastic supporters.
Over that year I saw him at VFL level along with his fellow rookie Noah Balta, both performing at a remarkable level.
And what has followed as he matured into a permanent fixture in our AFL side has not disappointed. He is now truely one of our best.
Today however I heard that through his manager Ralph Carr, he has told the club he wants $4,900,000 over 5 years, or else he is going home to WA.
I don’t know how the market values Shai and whether he would earn that much if he leaves. From what we all know it seems that Fremantle at least would struggle to find that sort of money under the cap, though West Coast possibly not.
Players work hard and generally have a short time at the top. They put themselves at risk of injury every day and we are just beginning to understand how severe the consequences can be when things go wrong.
As I see it they are entitled to earn to the maximum of their potential while they can.
Is $1,000,000 pa to much?
I had thought he would get around $800,000 per year up from around $500 to 700,000, over the last two.
Baker has just re-signed for two years at $600,000 according to the Herald Sun. Baker who came in as a rookie in the 2017 draft also has been the more consistent performer over the last 3 years, and while imo Shai is the better player, I can’t see that a $400,000 differential is reasonable.
So Ralph … Shai, go for it but when the time comes where you can literally put the club to the fire, particularly given the pre season draft, … well I hope you can advise that Richmond has provided an excellent home for your friends as players, and that $800,000 over 3 is enough.

Plus contracted for another year. He repeats this year next and kicks those goals we’re paying!
If he kicked straighter and we won a few more games, he'd be a Brownlow smoky.
mm ok, if you're one of his biggest supporter you would know he was drafted in the 2016 draft & played in our losing 2017 VFL grand final.
But yeah , you are consistent as the rest of your post is also *smile*
He’s probably close to being a $million a season marquee player. Clearly our best now.

I am just backing you up with proof that Shai has split from Ralph Carr despite @momentai stating Ralph Carr is still Shai's mouthpiece.
