MIXED BAG FOR BOLTON

Shai Bolton was a big part of the highs and lows of a challenging afternoon for his Tigers.

The livewire did plenty of eye-catching things and was particularly prominent in the second-quarter comeback with 10 of his 22 disposals and a series of dashes that created yellow-and-black scoring chances.

Bolton ended the game with two goals, eight score involvements, seven inside 50s, five clearances and more than 600 metres gained - but also seven turnovers, including six to half-time.

Turnovers have been an unfortunate theme of Richmond’s start to the season, particularly their opener against Gold Coast, so Bolton and co. will look to tidy things up quickly.

Shai Bolton (Richmond)

“He was just absolutely brilliant.

“It’s a tough ground to play on and everything he touched turned to gold.

“It hasn’t quite come together for him this year, he’s been really wasteful with his ball use and he’s squandered a few opportunities in front of goal, but not yesterday.

“He was a freak.”

I know he kicked some miraculous goals on the weekend and the media is really pumping him up - but if he could just eradicate the stupid impulsive brain farts .

I’m still fuming at that second quarter brain implosion where he butchered a certain goal at a critical time .

Shai always leaves so many goals on the table .

Ironically that was from being too unselfish rather than being a show pony as is usually the case......
