[blaisee]

BEST
Richmond: Graham, Dow, Pickett, Short, Broad, Nankervis

Did you watch the game?

 

[Tulip]

I am not sure what you've been watching, but English directly behind Scrimshaw is a classic

You never watched Jack Scrimshaw? He’s come very good

 

[Tulip]

Hi Shai.

You’re responding to the bloke who thinks Noah “7 career hit outs” Balta has demonstrated himself to be an elite ruckman

 

[blaisee]

ranked 2nd on ground

also ranked the 13th best player in the league so far this year, and the highest ranked player taken in the 2016 draft

I'm responding to a guy who deserves a bit of cheek.

 

[Wild Bill]

Did you watch the game?

Yeah had a good 1st half and then disappeared in the 2nd until the last minute when he kicked a goal. With Dusty and Prestia out his output should be increasing

Ahh player ratings - so Beau McCreery is better than Cotchin, Balta, Short, Graham, Edwards, Nank?

this year, so far, yes

I will take the official AFL player ratings over your "bias views" any day of the week

Bolton is the 13th best player in the league so far this year, and clearly the best performing player of the 2016 draft, but you already know that, because I have been saying it since what, 2018?

You keep saying these thing like they are fact.

I'd take Taranto's 30.3 disposals, 4.7 marks, 5.3 tackles, 4.3 clearances and 1.3 goals

Over

Bolton's 15.7 disposals, 3.7 marks, 1.3 tackles, 3 clearances and 2.7 goals

100%

 

[Angak]

Shai Bolton 3 goals , 2 assists , involved in more goals than any other player on the ground, also got 3 clearances

Outstanding game

My favorite non Dogs player in the game. There are many players that accumulate the ball. Shai is a difference maker.

His celling will be determined by him. How much work is he willing to put in to be great ? Could be the best player in the game or a burst player that can fade in & out games.

Good post

Big difference between a stat peddler and a difference maker, a match winner

Also agree with the comment that he could be the best player in the game, he really is that good

Yesterday it was more "burst player that can fade in & out game" than the best player in the comp.

 

[Marcel Proust]

This is groundhog day - same rubbish at the start on 2021 with Bolton being spoken about in the same way Matthews, Carey and Ablett are spoken about.

Then in the 2nd half of the year when Bolton's form fell away this thread went quiet.

Players have proven themselves and played at a consistent high level - these are the players at the top of this re-do - B&F winners, All Australians, high in the coaches votes etc.

He keeps getting spoken about cause he looking freakish good.

Tbh they were missing grimes. Riewoldt. Dusty. Vlastuin. Lambert. - Grimes injury Etc. -

bolton had a decent game but yes saints were better

Player ratings are terrible - they had this leading into 2022:

Elite: Tex Walker, Zac Williams, Nick Hind, Sam Switkowski, Dylan Moore, Jack Srimshaw, Aaron Hall, Jack Sinclair, Chad Wingard.

Not Elite: Harry McKay, Ollie Wines, Jack Steele, Max Gawn, Patrick Dangerfield, Dylan Grimes, Zac Merrett, Sam Walsh

If player ratings is your source of truth you're in big trouble.

Says it all really

 

[Wild Bill]

lol

he was Lone Ranger tonight , electric

Yet 0 coaches votes and Broad got votes off both coaches. Can't go missing for 2 quarters and expect to get a pat on the back - especially when momentum swung the Saints way.

I prefer afl official player ratings to your bias, and what you heard On the radio lol

 

[carnthedons]

He’s Andrew Lovett circa 2009 in a better team. Looks amazing but is cream not cake.

So you agree with them? You would prefer Tex in your team than McKay or Aaron Hall over Grimes or Wingard over Danger?

Your understanding of the game is really really poor.

Think everyone is in agreeance he's a very talented footballer but he isn't the second coming of jesus that these two trolls believe he is.

to say that it means you clearly have never watched Shai, so best to not look silly and avoid making comments

I think it awesome that we are now making progress, now he is a "very talented footballer"

kudos to you.
