He'd want to start performing a bit more if he wants to maneuver for a better contract.. I dont know if anyone has noticed  but his kicks arent penetrating and dont travel through the air quickly.

yep, he leans back on them

stuff people have been hard on this kid for a 2nd year player..

All the talent is there. I don't want to be seeing Butler go possessionless for quarters on end or see Castagna display some of the worst skills and decision making possible. Give Bolton more opportunity, get Rioli fit and watch Stengle develop some more. I reckon these 3 are the future. Not that Butler and Castagna aren't decent players - they are and they helped us win a premiership. But if we get these kids up to speed then they'll have it all over those 2.

Don't think his talent is the issue.

I reckon has plenty of talent, unfortunately so far in his handful of games it is his defensive efforts (or in his case lack there of) that are the issue

But the bigger issue for mine is a 2nd year player, who has played limited games due the deficiencies in his game and his manager putting off contract talks. At this point in his career he shouldn't be demanding big $$$, again unfortunately his manager plays the game that way.

So....

If he wants to go, let him go

How do you know it’s a money thing. Could just be looking for more regular football or to just go back to his home state.

If we could get Cerra that would be a great result for us. Bolton & Conca for Cerra is fair and we save some money on the cap. Cerra will be a 200 game player.

No hope

Because it involves one R Carr

Shai Bolton (RIC)

Bolton has put off contract talks until the end of the season which likely means he's weighing up a future away from Punt Road. Richmond has a plethora of speedy small forwards who can run through the midfield and he could get more chances back home in Western Australia. With the Hill brothers struggling to get on the field and a commitment to a rebuild over at Fremantle, Bolton could fit in well there.
