Shai Bolton: Star recruit wastes no time kicking his first Fremantle Dockers goal in pre-season clash

Before reading Luke Jackson’s ruck tap to perfection, the former Richmond goalsneak found a way to get space on Clayton Oliver, who was playing for Melbourne, during a forward stoppage.

After that, Bolton deflected a tackle that was made by Harry Sharp, sidestepping the wingman, and then scored a goal with his left foot as the clock ticked down to zero for the season in Mandurah.

The goal was received with a round of applause from the committed fans, and the players were quick to get behind their new No. 15 player, who had a nearly flawless beginning to his career. In the beginning of the game, Bolton, who was playing in the forward position, came close to scoring the opening goal of the game. However, his early opportunity went wide of the large sticks.

After moving into the middle of the field, he was able to provide a spark with his speed and flare on offence. This was when he came into his own.

During one of the stages, he made an attempt to burn Christian Petracca, who had won the Norm Smith medal and was giving hot pursuit in an intense competition.

The goal scored by Bolton was the culmination of a term in which he had five touches and a clearance.
