Dodo be on the phone tomorrowHe’s probably close to being a $million a season marquee player. Clearly our best now.

He's only a 23 year old skinny kid and already dominating the comp. Think we have six years before he peaks. And Think about that again! And sit back and thank the good Lord we have a Dusty like "once in a generation player" in the same generation. Wow. We are so blessed to have over a decades and a half worth of dusty and shai watching. Our games should get the biggest crowds even from now on as well. A marvel this kidDodo be on the phone tomorrow

Bloody DUD.35 goals 34 behinds his kicked this year or something to that effect ........................................
Looks like I was not so well informed. Apart from Cotch and Jack, who is still out of contract for next year?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.

This. He is a great player but he is still missing way too many easy goals. 2.5 yesterday should have been 5.2 or 6.1Imagine if he starts kicking those goals?
Bauer's contracted for next year.

It's funny. Prior to the game yesterday I had this feeling Shai was going to kick 7.This. He is a great player but he is still missing way too many easy goals. 2.5 yesterday should have been 5.2 or 6.1
He's a gun so I expect a lot from him. I reckon only one of his seven shots was reasonably difficult. A couple he missed were absolute sodas. It's not just Shai but it appears an affliction with many of his team mates as well (except Cumbo). Missing easy goals is the reason we are 9th and not in the top 4 right now.Bauer's contracted for next year.

KBCan’t remember watching a player like Shai Bolton ever before. He is legitimately elite in basically all areas (bar goal kicking). Should have 50+ goals on the board if it wasn’t for poor conversion - probably his only weakness to be honest.
Shai has a technical flaw with his ball drop that unfortunately don’t think can be fixed.He's a gun so I expect a lot from him. I reckon only one of his seven shots was reasonably difficult.

But very glad Shai is ours.
Yes his ball drop is very high and is a flaw that contributes to his goal kicking issues. I don't see why it is something that can't be fixed though? He also kicks it very high when snapping; that one he missed in the 2nd quarter went higher than the scoreboard.Shai has a technical flaw with his ball drop that unfortunately don’t think can be fixed.
It can be improved if he takes a little more time to settle but he doesn’t guide the ball onto his boot like the good crumbers do when snapping from angles. Less pronounced when kicking straight set shots for goal.
We’ll have to settle for only a genius
Very difficult to change someone’s ball drop at senior level. It becomes innate.Yes his ball drop is very high and is a flaw that contributes to his goal kicking issues. I don't see why it is something that can't be fixed though? He also kicks it very high when snapping; that one he missed in the 2nd quarter went higher than the scoreboard.
However, for as genius as he is, I would contend much of the goal kicking issue is above the shoulders. Witness his missed set shot from 20m out in first quarter versus the one he nailed from near 50m in the second quarter. Not as much expectation on the second shot.
He will one day. I’m sure he’ll do 10 in the future. He’s great to watch.Bauer's contracted for next year.
