Ah yes because Ralph “honest” Carr would never tell a lie when it comes to negotiating

Richmond offered Shai a 2 year deal at the start of 2018 and he declined it.
Ralph went fishing at the end of 2018 after Richmond offered a meagre one year contract. All Bell had to do was offer a slightly better contract and he was theirs. He showed no interest.
Shame for them. I always thought he would suit playing on the hard dry WA ground. Turns out he does.

Do you want some pepper with your salt?
So shai will take offence at freo “supposedly “ not bettering Richmond’s MEAGRE offer but somehow not Richmond themselves, who just happened to be the club he actually played for and was meant to be looking after him??
Yeah seems legit
No but you might need a tissue to dry those eyes when Richmond go to offer shai a new contract and shai tells them to stick it , after short changing him with a low ball offer the previous year
We offered him a better two-year deal, Ralph held out for more, we told him we were running out of money, and by the time he signed that's all we had left in the kitty. Not Richmond's fault - Ralph's. We'll make room for him this year and he'll sign for two years, take it to the bank.

Even if this were true...
What would Freo offer up as trade? You'd need to drop down the ladder a fair bit before your first became acceptable.

Well, we would.
We took him at 29, when it was a high risk, high reward option.
The risk is a lot lower now, and the reward at least as high....That means his draft/trade value would have increased significantly.

If your did not get Tom Lynch , I think Shai is worth what Adelaide get from Mitch McGowan.

It won't be Shai who leaves the club. It'll be the retirement of Grigg, Ellis most likely leaving via FA and Butler who has fallen out of favour that will allow us to get a deal done with plenty left over.
Out of contract ,looking to come home, 2nd rounder
Take it to the bank

Your mob seen first hand over the weekend just how talented he is, wouldn’t even come close.
Hopefully we can get him signed up to a new deal sooner than later!
If Shai keeps going the way he is going, someone will offer him a 4 year $2 m deal.
At the start of the year he was worth a pick in to the 40s or 50s.
He is now worth a pick inside the top 20. And his upside may be one of the highest of any player in the AFL.
Has done way more than Jed Anderson had done at the same age, and he went for a pick in the teens.

The deal was Jed and a couple of 3rd round picks for pick 15 and 55.

You said "Jed didn't go for a pick in the teens". I corrected you.
If i had a choice of pick #20 or Shai Bolton i would take Bolton
With the draft this year being very 'shallow' I wouldnt trade him to be honest
More likely he signs a decent contract and stays

Yeah their not bad , like you say he’s gone from being on base contract minimum wage, basically worth a token pick to now top 20/first rd pick off the back of one game..

Your valuing seems about spot on. Already wanted the dogs to have a look before this surge in form, but now I'd be really keen. If he does leave the Tigers though, it's almost certainly going to be WA.
More likely we'd go for Butler since he's struggling to force his way in, and were desperate for small forwards
