Anyone that thinks KB was slower than Bolton never saw him play. KB was electric fast -an amateur athlete than ran at Stawell. Only rates behind Martin as the greatest ever Tiger for mine. Bolton has an enormous gap to bridge to get him to that level.Some massive undervaluing of Bartlett’s speed, skill, reading of the play, ball winning ability, versatility, resilience and endurance.
You could put KB of that era in a time machine and lob him into today’s game, no problem. Hart also.
If Shai gets anywhere near that level, we will be doing extremely well to have such a player.
I rate Shai highly and am rapt with the signing. Star. Time will tell if that turns into legend status (let alone an MCG statue!)
