Shai Bolton Joins Fremantle in a Blockbuster AFL Trade
In a surprising turn of events, Fremantle and Richmond have finalized a deal for one of the AFL's most dynamic players, Shai Bolton. As the trade period reaches its final hours, this move is generating significant buzz in the footy community. Fremantle, clearly in "win-now" mode, has secured Bolton's services by offering Richmond a package that includes three first-round picks. It’s a bold move that highlights Fremantle’s ambition to push for a maiden flag, and many believe Bolton could be the missing piece they need to get there.

Bolton, who’s only 25, has already proven his game-breaking abilities. When he was in top form, earning All-Australian honors in 2022, he was hailed as one of the top 10 players in the competition. His explosive speed, ability to break the lines, and knack for standing up in big games make him a perfect fit for Fremantle. His recent form may have slipped while playing for a struggling Richmond side, but with a new environment and team behind him, there’s every reason to believe he can return to his best.
From Richmond’s perspective, this deal is a great way to accelerate their rebuild. They now possess a war chest of first-round picks, including 10, 11, and 18, which will allow them to shape the future of their team. For a club that’s looking to get younger and build for the long term, these picks are invaluable. Richmond fans may be sad to see Bolton go, but with the draft capital they’ve gained, they’ll be in a strong position to rebound in the coming years.
Overall, this is a trade that benefits both sides. Fremantle gets a superstar talent in Bolton, while Richmond arms itself with the draft picks needed to start a new era. Time will tell who got the better deal, but for now, both clubs look like they’ve made the right moves.
