Could you imagine having the talent of this kid & having to play 2's while watching Higgins/Butler/George butcher the ball week in, week out in the senior side. Admittedly not all 3 of those guys have a bad game each week but it seems that only one really produces anything of note per week at the moment. None last week.

Talent is only part of the equation

So true.

He is a skilled player and I reckon he will be a ripper but his body needs to mature some more, he gets brushed aside like a toddler in the firsts.  It won't matter where he goes, it will be the same story... Ralph can go burn in a Carr fire the greedy prick.

The only way this could have become a difficult situation for the club is if Shai was tearing it up this season driving his price up. That hasn’t happened so in the end he’ll sign for a reasonable figure

He's a speed bump in defence at AFL level.... :shh

Must keep him...talented kids like this don't present often. IMO will be one of the best small forwards in the comp in a few years.

Agree he is talented

But he has to want to be part of the club

A 2nd year player delaying contract talks raises plenty of question

So if he wants to go, then let him go and get the best possible deal

If he wants to stay, great but must be on our terms
Agree WP.

Bolton back in the side on our terms (good VFL form) and now must use this chance in the seniors to show he wants to stick around.

No...

Why? huge difference

Cerra is contracted for 2019, 2nd year of his deal. So he isnt gping anywhere

Bolton isn't contracted for next season

And FWIW Cerra will re-sign before his current deal expires  ;D

He has or he will - take your pick. Tom Boyd is the poster boy for why you don’t jump ship
after a year in the system...
