Brownlow Medal Highlights: Shai Bolton Shines for Richmond Tigers
Shai Bolton’s Performance at the Brownlow Medal
Katanning-born Richmond star Shai Bolton was the equal-highest vote-getter for his side in a quiet night for the Tigers at the AFL Brownlow Medal count on Monday. In what could be his last season at Punt Road, the mercurial forward polled an equal-high five votes for the Tigers alongside ball winner Tim Taranto.
Bolton's Key Matches
- Earned one vote in their round two loss against Port Adelaide after collecting 22 disposals and booting two goals.
- Gathered another two votes in the huge upset victory over Sydney with 25 disposals and two goals.
- Polled a two-vote game in their round 13 victory over Adelaide after racking up 20 disposals and seven clearances.
Notably, fellow WA teammate and Pingrup star Liam Baker did not earn any votes despite another strong season in the yellow-and-black. Baker has requested a trade home to WA while Bolton has also expressed interest in a move back to his home State.
