Pick 29: Shai Bolton

Apart from his sublime skill and blistering skills, Michael Mitchell was/is one of the nicest people you could meet.
He was my favourite player in the late eighties, his brief career packed with so many highlights that most 200 gamers could only dream about.

So beautifully spoken.
He left an indelible memory with many Tiger fans and, like many Aboriginal players along the way, with other team’s fans as well.

Sid Jackson(Carlton) with his vertical marks….. and Andrew McLeod(Adelaide) on his long sweeping runs…. used to thrill me with their exquisite skills as well.

I was very close to the boundary in the forward pocket in the 2019 grand final.
I remember watching shai as he walked past us on the victory lap. He looked at his premiership medal and put it between his teeth as if to see if it was real. He was like a kid living a dream.
He was a kid I guess, just 20 years old at that time.
I hope he plays 99 games at Freo

Rioli was the same after the ‘17 GF. Kept looking at his medal like he couldn’t believe it was real.

Well I kept looking at the tv and I couldn’t believe it was real. I didn’t have a medal, so I sculled a stubby, burped and said ….I actually can’t remember. I was still numb, shocked, bewildered, dumbfounded and in a real state.
Then I watched it again..and again

The entire season was like a dream. We had to do it again in 2019 to prove it wasn’t.
