Bolton’s preference was a move to the Dockers and his wish was granted on Wednesday morning.
According to reports, the paperwork of a deal between the Dockers and Tigers is ready to be handed to the AFL from 2pm (AEDT) when the league will be open to conduct business on the trade period’s final day.
The deal will see the Dockers hand over picks 10, 11 and 18. The Perth club will receive Bolton, pick 14 and a future third round pick.
The Tigers are also expected to formalise a trade with the Gold Coast Suns on Wednesday in a deal that could see the Tigers add picks 6 and 23 to their 스포츠토토사이트 war chest.
The Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph described the Tigers’ haul of picks as “astonishing”.
“Here is the deal: (Picks) 10, 11, 18 to Richmond and Bolton, pick 14 and a future 3rd rounder to Freo,” Ralph wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
