I am certainly coming around to him.
With that leap and his ability to know how to time his jump so he takes it at his highest point, he can mark it from a different launch spot to anyone else.
Also, what a third man up he will be! 24 ruck taps a game at his height ;D

Gee Spook got me excited with giving him Mitchell's number.
Gee wasn't he a player, briefly who got cut down by injury due to his courage.
Who can forget his mark and goal of the year!!
I really think he is a chance to debut early next year but trying ever so hard to keep things in check. He is only 17.
Let's hope he is allowed to show his X factor flair and not be held back from the coaches.

RICHMOND’s small forward recruit Shai Bolton has the potential to be the best forward to emerge from this year’s draft according to recruiting expert Gary Buckenara.
The Tigers snapped up Bolton with its first pick, No.29 overall, adding more pace and smarts around goal to partner Daniel Rioli.
In an online chat with Herald Sun readers, Buckenara, who helped build Hawthorn’s threepeat premiership list, declared Bolton has the traits to become one of the best prospects of the 2016 draft class.

“The best forward ... that’s a tough question. It won’t be one of the tall forwards, I think it’ll be one of the smaller players like Shai Bolton because if the penny drops he could become a really exciting prospect,” he said.
Buckenara Bolton to be given a taste of senior football for the Tigers next year but needs to work on his fitness.
“Shai Bolton’s area for improvement is in his fitness and endurance, he’s very much an impact player at present as he comes in and out of the game far too often so better fitness levels should help that,” he said.

Heard a story today about the Shai Bolton pick that I must make clear I have no idea if it is true or not. I was told by someone who I know who is pretty well connected at the Pies that they were very peeved when we picked him because they were going to pick him at 30. The story is that Balmey knew they were seriously into him and they are not happy with the big fella !!
There may have been a bit of pay back in the Kirby pick
Makes a good story even if it isn't true

I'm certain they would have been interested, many good judges had Bolton in the top 20. McClarty at pick 30? A fair reach in my opinion, I reckon the Hine Midas touch is fast evaporating, when he took Sier last year I was pretty gobsmacked.
