R\ufeffichmond<\/a> coach Adem Yze has slammed "speculation" around star forward Shai Bolton<\/a>, as reports continue to grow around his connection to Fremantle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Dockers have already met with Bolton, despite the 25-year-old still having four years left to run on his contract at Tigerland.<\/p>\n

Now Yze has had his say on suggestions Bolton could request a trade at season's end.<\/p>\n

"The speculation around what he is doing next year, is a little bit disrespectful," Yze said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

"He's got four years to run on a contract and he's one of our best players.\ufeff"<\/p>\n

\"Bolton.\"<\/p>\n

There is also natural interest from West Coast in Tigers midfielder Liam Baker<\/a>, who is from WA, to return home.<\/p>\n

Bolton is contracted until the end of 2028, while Baker is out of contract come season's end.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Meantime, all eyes will turn again to injured star Dustin Martin.<\/p>\n

After managing just 12 games this season, Richmond fans will have to wait another week to see Martin in action.<\/p>\n

\"Liam<\/p>\n

It could mean one less chance to see Martin pull on the black and yellow for good, as retirement speculation continues to grow.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The Tigers superstar is continuing his battle with back soreness\ufeff.<\/p>\n

"It's still a bit grumbly. If he\ufeff tries to go out there and it's cold, things like that. He won't train and he won't play," Yze said.<\/p>\n

It means Martin has just six games left on his nine-year mega deal, with no fresh contract on the cards with the Tigers just yet.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Martin has also been heavily linked with former Tigers triple premiership coach Damien Hardwick, who is now heading up the Gold Coast Suns.<\/p>\n

Melbourne great David Schwarz hinted that a deal has already been done for Martin to become a Sun in 2025.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Richmond face off against the Giants on Sunday at the MCG.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
