Shai Bolton [merged]

[one-eyed]

4. Bolton a Rising Star candidate

If you were told pre-match that an indigenous forward would light up the MCG in the first quarter with breathtaking speed and skill, you'd expect it to be Franklin or Richmond prodigy Daniel Rioli. So it was something to behold when lightly-built Tiger Shai Bolton announced himself on the big stage with two brilliant early goals that were reminiscent of Rioli's uncle Cyril at his best. Nine minutes in, the West Australian teenager roved a pack at full tilt, took a bounce and converted. Late in the term, he burst clear again to nail another one from close range. The No.29 pick in last year's NAB AFL Draft would be stiff not to be nominated this week for the Rising Star award.

Very, very impressive.
It's one thing to be able to put a bit of pressure on but you also need to be able to get the footy.
Shinning light today.

I'd like to see Stengle next and I'm just as excited about him. Time to make a few changes and teach these kids that their spot isn't guaranteed.

Yes i agree with you on this one BT.

[Yeahright]

Continues to improve so don't want to knock him too much. Just would have been nice if he didn't go missing in the second half, not alone there though...

[Heart of Darkness]

That first quarter was as electric as any player in the comp could produce. Not just his goals but his contested work around the packs was brilliant. Faded out of the game for sure but he's already ahead of Butler and Castagna imo. So much to look forward to.

Lightning Bolton, stuff he is quick

The Merkin has signed him up, geez good luck RFC when it comes to negotiations time.

Who?

[Diocletian]

Ralph Carr

[Knighter]

Not correct. He signed with a WA agent

[Chopstix]

He will be the best small forward at the club within 12 months.

Electrifying, instinctive and confident.

Just needs to build his tank.

When he does - Look out!!!

Ahead of Rioli too

[Andyy]

Snatching that ball at full pace for his first AFL goal was a sensational moment to witness in the flesh
