AFL Player # 9: Dylan Shiel

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024 2025
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 35, eth-dog

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Anyone else reckon it was weird that Parker was openly taunting Shiel after booting a goal and no Essendon player gave an ounce of a s**t?

Weird? No. Embarrassing on our club and kulcha? Yes.

First game in a while I've legitimately felt bad for someone. Hope you're alright Dyl xx.

 

[andleanback]

Move him out

 

[yodellinhank]

Given Shiel has a history of meniscus issues and is a dodgy kick at times, I wonder if it might be a similar issue where he needs to actually work on his kicking action in order to fix the knee problem.

Couldn't hurt, might even fix his kicking accidentally in the process.

The issue we have is what to do with him.

Strap him to a rocket and fire it into the sun?

 

[Sporno 4 Pyros]

Weird? No. Embarrassing on our club and kulcha? Yes.

First game in a while I've legitimately felt bad for someone. Hope you're alright Dyl xx.

Was it Shiel or Hind that he was having a go at??
In that play Shiel got crunched in a tackle and Parker then waltzed around Hind. Carey was giving it to Hind on the commentary for not tackling Parker.

He needs to leave Essendon for his sake and ours.

Parker could’ve whipped his nuts out and slapped Shiel on the forehead and Dyl would’ve done nothing. He’s a soft, scared ‘inside’ mid and everyone knows. Will probably sleep with his lights on tonight.

Can we delist him

Essendons last 18 years right there.
Barnard
Solomon
Johnson

Wallis
Hardwick
Wow Dodoro loves weak soft players.

To think this guys is on big bucks.... ouch.

 

[CBombers17]

Getting shamed on field would be tough for anyone. Was slightly better in the second half but still lacked any impact.

He might need a break to reset and get himself back on track. Even if that's to be moved on at the end of the season.

 

[Bjchan13]

There isn't a team in the comp that would go near him or his contract. We couldn't give him away without adding in a pick like GC did with Brodie. We are stuck with him

 

[Hamster14]

We’ve got to pay him, might as well teach him to cut up some oranges

Whatever faults he may have, Shiel isn’t a soft footballer. He’s not Glen Archer….but he’s not soft.

He’s run of the mill AFL brave which makes him a million times harder than any of us.

If the Parker spray was what it looked like, whether it was directed at Shiel or someone else, then it’s a horrible reflection on our club that nobody took issue with it.

he is absolutely robbing us blind.

lol give me 850k a year and ill try and break through a wall too mate.

i don't give too shits about his braveness either, his basic skills are complete dogshit too. The guys kicking is legit woeful.

 

[ant555]

Not really sure there is any coming back from where he is now. Not for us anyway.
He is just taking the piss right now.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Should've tried to trade him last year when he still had some value. He's a spud right now and provides nothing of value for us going forward. I'd rather be giving Hobbs and Perkins midfield minutes.

No real surprise no one did nothing. They never do. McDonald bashed him all game in 2020.
I would appear that it is odds on there is a fracture in the playing group.

 

[JayJ20]

What a flog Parker is. No one should be supporting or condoning that. Shiel wasn't even looking at him.
I don't know how many Tom Boyd's we have to go through to realise how bad football culture is.

It’s not a surprise at all these days.

It’s not the Essendon I grew up with.

I prefaced it by noting he has his faults.
I just hate this line that he deserved it or isn’t worth helping out.

 

[ghostdog]

That's going to sting forever. Forever and ever.
I thought it would be the kick for goal from last week I'd remember.
He now has the option of controlling the legacy of memory. How does Shiel the player want to be remembered?
