My gut feel is that the club's people might already know.Dylan Shiel was assessed for a foot concern following training on May 24.
On September 20 it was reported that he will start preseason on a modified training program.
He played an hours worth of footy in round 12 for a single clearance and was subbed off.
Returned in R16 for 2 possessions in 30mins of footy.
Leather poisoning the next week with 6 possessions, 0 clearances in again 30mins of footy with only 2! turnovers.
Literally put on ice after this to maximise his trade potential.
I reckon he has stress fractures in his foot. Freo has a similar aged celebrated player they can't get on the park with any regularity.
"Before arriving at the Giants in 2011, Shiel had a stress fracture in his foot similar to Melbourne’s Jackson Trengove, which forced him out of the game for six months.
He then had two more stress fractures in his feet along with sprained ligaments in 2012."
Dear St.K. please don't. Does anyone have a hotline to junior Silvani?... so he can word up the ole man for a second time.
