Player Watch #29: Shai Bolton - What an absolute jet!

[GoTigers2015]

Shai has matured so much in a year. He looks really focused and committed to an AFL career. With his talent he could be one of the stars of the comp.

I am looking forward for him and Stacky to combine in the midfield / forward line for many years.

And Pickett, Ross, RCD, not forgetting Snags

I hope we don’t lose this guy. One of our most talented players

 

[db26]

Classy and silk the way he moves better every game stays in the guts.

 

[Sol23]

Really adding something to the side.

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Really impressed with him on the ball .... didn’t think he was as good as he is showing .... must keep

 

[pockets75]

Had 15 first half possesions in the midfield and didn't waste one. Second half he didn't attend any centre bounces. Not sure why? Maybe giving him a rest for next week. Going very well.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Was excellent in the first quarter. The phrase 'give him an inch of space and he'll take a mile' comes to mind not just in the context of slipping away from his opponent but giving a quick decisive handball in an Edwards like fashion. Very pleased he is finally getting an opportunity at AFL level and is a must re-sign which based off last weeks interview shouldn't be too big of a problem.

 

[db26]

He was electric in that first half slowed a bit in the second half, but weaves through traffic easy.

 

[peternorth]

certainly does weave. his slender frame allows him to do it streamlined like.
Very clean when the balls on the deck

7 tackles as well would make Dimma happy

Been really impressive this year but has a bad habit of shooting for goal when there are better options available. Did that twice tonight in the 1st half and it stands out in such a sharing side like this one.

I hear you, but equally there are many times a game when someone who’s paid to kick goals should take the shot but try some guineapigshit (get that one big footy filters) pass that goes pear shaped

West Coast make major play for Richmond's Shai Bolton

Shai Bolton could yet re-sign with Richmond but he has another offer on the table to consider – and it's from the reigning premiers.

The guys is laughable

I understand people’s perspective of this. It can be annoying.

Having said that, at least he is having a shot at goal. He needs to find the balance, but I don’t think I ever want to see him be a player that overpasses or overthinks the shot at goal. We already have plenty of players like that. I like to see him lean more towards shooting for goal when better options are present just to balance the team out.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

The only flaw in that was he wasn't much better at The Crows. Had plenty of talent though, just couldn't put it all together. Shame, was a ripping bloke.

I think our development and game plan would turn Bling into a star if he walked through the door tomorrow.

Our kids just got to play in an VFL final trying to win a spot in a an AFL side still in contention. Plenty of quality development coaches and a clear well defined game plan and clear role for each player. It’s a far cry from the career destroying Tigers of old.

Just think there’s so much hand luck in an AFL career.

Rumours around a 3 year deal signed

 

[db26]

Fire up son this week we need his X factor.

 

[peternorth]

Think he is not a definite

 

[Madison]

Dimma spoke about him in his presser the other day. Said Bolton has been training really well and he's improved heaps in that area and it's just a matter of it clicking consistency at AFL level. He's had some good games that have shown his promise, he's gotta get to 50 games and he'll start showing that consistency and talent the club knows he has.

Defs need to learn to bring his team mates into the game more and not go all himself, but when he starts to get that right he'll be a jet imo
