Pick 29: Shai Bolton

[toothless]

He is a star - but some of his efforts today were appalling.

I believe he went head to head with Merrett last week...

 

[jb03]

3Q could have passed twice to players in better position but decided to go for goal and missed both.

In fairness he had a quick look but saw a cooked Reiwoldt, Graham, Miller and Mansell.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Thought he was our best player for much of the day. Fell away in the last quarter for the second week in a row though with the game up for grabs.

 

[tigerman]

Has been brilliant the last month or so, reckon he's going to turn it on in front of family and friends in Perth. Another 4 goals like he kicked against the Dockers a few years back would be great, and might be needed for us to win.

 

[BT Tiger]

He was incredible tonight. Career best game for mine. Not only showed class but leadership in slowing down the play at crucial moments.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT !!!!!

 

[The Big Richo]

Now that is a midfielder you can build a premiership team around.

 

[Carter]

I’ve been critical of Shai’s on-field leadership at times.

He took a massive, massive step tonight.

If he can lift us like that, then he is not trade bait.

He is a man to lead us to the next mountain.

 

[Dont Argue]

Career defining game.
Took absolute control and showed real leadership when a few others went missing in the last.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Great game , so important to our attacking game , worked hard to recieve

Never been trade bait & been taking those " massive" steps as maturity kicks in. Great game by so many of our Tigers

Shai playing in the form of his life. Simply magnificent tonight

 

[Rfc4Ever]

If he wasn't already, he is an elite player

 

[tigerlove]

This guy is untouchable. He turns on a dime.

 

[btoz_01]

If he continued his petulant form line from earlier in the year, he was our ticket into ND round 1.

But he’s turned it around and tonight showed a quantum leap in maturity.

Agree. It's just the type of player he is. No way Tigers would ever consider trading him. We wouldn't have given him a large contract to the end of 2028. Would have made no sense.

 

[tha8ball]

Love the pairing of Bolton and Taranto in the middle.

 

[AngryAnt]

Any talk of trading him was way, way off, as with Balta. You don't trade young, super-talented generational players regardless of where you are in the cycle.
