Pick 29: Shai Bolton

This year when Bolton was reaching peak performance, gets injured, takes a week or two to perform at a higher level, gets concussed, misses one week. so forth.

too valuable for trade.

Couldn't agree more. Bolton is inconsistent as and also seems a bit of a moaner at times. Hate to say it but Hill is a better player.

Some silly things get posted on this site, but saying Hill is a better player than Bolton would be pretty high on the list.

I still think Bolton will only be as good as he wants to be. When his mindset is on, he is unbelievable but it does seem he can switch off too easily. Still, he is ours!

I think both are in the same boat. Very much cream on top players.
Bolton has had it a bit tougher having to play in a pretty shizen midfield as well as try and carry the small and few medium type forwards we have.
Lets face it,our other small forwards are no where near as dangerous as Shai. They dont often kick goals and most games provide little more than defensive pressure. End result Shai gets clamped on when he goes forward as well.
 
Bolton’s effort today is way below the required standard. Especially when you factor in what he’s getting paid.

Lazy footballer who was great the years when we were front running, barely showing any ticker now that we’re not.

I hope the club moves heaven and earth to keep Baker - he’s a genuine Tiger Man - and puts Bolton on the trade table instead.

The one year we've really needed him to step up and he's failed miserably. Massive disappointment

Recently signed a 4yr deal? Contracted until 2028 and visiting Freo clubland during bye round time off from club. What a joke. doesn’t seem right to me. Is he a team player and committed to the club?. U wouldn’t think so.

Not a prob if he is out of contract this year like Baker. But…………Did the club have an agreement with him to sign on but we would let him explore option? U wouldn’t think so. Why did he sign until 2028 if he exploring options?

Whatever ever is happening for Bolton ATM needs some disruption. If he continues in this way for the rest of the year you'd have to start believing the rumours that he's out the door. He is well below par atm.
