AFL: Despite significant interest from other clubs, Shai Bolton is adamant he will remain at the Tigers in 2025.
Richmond coach Adem Yze has hit out at “disrespectful” speculation Shai Bolton could depart the club but says he’s sympathetic to players weighing up their futures mid-season .
The Richmond coach said he understood the interest in out-of-contract players but said reports about Bolton, who has four years remaining on his deal, were disappointing.“I don’t need to have that discussion . He’s one of our best players and he’s contracted,” Yze said on Thursday. The AFL Players’ Association raised concerns at the time but it was reported Henderson was fine with the Blues’ decision so he could avoid injury and potential damage to his trade value.
Yze said the Tigers would regain veteran midfielder Dion Prestia against GWS but Martin would spend another week on the sidelines after he came from the field with back spasms against Carlton in round 16.
