Interesting. Wondered why they went after shiel when what they miss - big bodied mid- is what i thought they needed.
But have subsequently realised that since they rely on turnovers and speed and skill to spot up free players forward, they dont care about winning first possession that much. Game plan about getting ball at half back through numbers and then giving to their fast and skillful ball users. Adding shiel has given them another option going forward.
Kudos to them for fully embracing their game plan and not hybridizing it.
