Shai Bolton [merged]

[Knighter]

Been our best player by far in the past 4 weeks.
The only real standout this year I reckon.

Considering he was dropped for Melbourne game & as such has only played the last 3 thats fair praise !!

Fair to say the fact Bolton was dropped while players like Riewoldt, Graham and Rioli are playing is evidence that the coaches aren’t that smart

[Rampsation]

Bolton should never have been dropped. Hes been excellent this year.

[Andyy]

His lateral movement is downright frightening

The week before he got dropped (St. Kilda game) he kicked 2 goals and had 4 tackles...
Rioli has kicked 2 goals in his last 6 games...
Higgins has kicked 3 goals in his last 7 games....
Yer let’s drop George 

[Hard Roar Tiger]

He won’t be getting dropped again. Would be Top 3 in the B&F right now

[one-eyed]

Automatic starting mid now given his past month. Bolts killed it again tonight.

3 marks
3 tackles
6 clearances
4 centre clearances
5 inside 50s
499m gained
3 intercepts
7 score involvements
2 goal assists
1 goal

[Diocletian]

Always was a mid.....

[julzqld]

I’ve been critical of Bolton in the past but loving this new & improved version

[Tigeritis™©®]

He just gets better and better. 

[Simonator]

 A ready long term replacement for shed. Where he fits short term? In the fwd line I fear. Maybe he gets more rotations especially when shed comes back because he won't be match fit.
Let's hope he stays with us !

Needs to stay in the midfield, even when Dion and Sheds return.

How ? Dusty cotch prestia Edwards are the big 4. No doubt he will rotate through but  I think he will be atleast 50/50 fwd and mid but probably more 60/40

[Andyy]

Bolton needs to stay mid. They can hardly touch him!

What's his contract status? Needs a big extension!

That still leaves room for him to rotate through with Dustin and Sheds also rotating in different positions.

Plus his current output is as good, if not better, than Dion, Cotch and Edwards' output earlier this year.

[Diocletian]

Or Edwards could start at hbf where he killed it last year....could then play WP's hero Shorty forward of the ball...where I actually think think he's a far more effective and dangerous player...
