Past #18: Shaun Atley - delisted end '21 - 237 NM games / 44 NM goals - thanks Ats

[Ischenko]

Yep a great start to the year, and I think we've finally found his ideal position.
If needed he could certainly still do a role down back too which is always handy.
Hard to see how he doesn't play 250 - 300 games for us tbh.

 

[remfan101]

Would love to see him spend some time as a genuine midfielder, if only 3-5 centre bounces a game. has been good so far though.

 

[muttley45]

Starting position at centre bounces should be off the back of the square, and thus a moving target if/when we win 1st posession.

Tom brown saying Atley has trade currency ..

Restricted free agent, having a great start to the year. Other clubs will have interest.

 

[Event Horizon]

Certainly need to sign him up.

Shaun won't leave North. Not an issue.

He would, if we let JMac go.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

He wasn't half bad against Carlton.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Currently averaging career high disposals, contested disposals, clearances, I50s, goals and goal assists.

He's having a good year.

 

[RobZombie]

The smart/mercenary thing to do would be put off extension talks, flush out some interest and offers to get a gauge for what compo band he might attract, then either lock him in or set him free accordingly.

I have my doubts that we’re that mercenary, though we have so far delayed extension talks.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Very poor today

Couldn't impact and touches were not to our advantage

Played weak footy today imo

 

[Arthur Cloke]

Atley wasn’t half bad I thought.

Still finding his feet I reckon.

15. SHAUN ATLEY, 25 (NORTH MELBOURNE)

Drafted from: Murray, Vic

Games: 160

Restricted free agent

Has speed and durability, but yet to become a star. Looks great on the burst, but how much does he impact games? Only polled two Brownlow votes in his first seven seasons. Reckon the Kangaroos will reassess later in the year. Might be one who needs fresh surrounds to go up a gear.

Yeah like Brownlow votes are that important. *****. Just like the muppets who give Brownlow votes

 

[Gasometer]

Exactly.

Shannon Watt concurs.

 

[King Corey]

Shaun's the sort of player we'd be seeking out via free agency in the first place. Keep.

 

[nelroo]

Exactly.

Shannon Watt concurs.

So does Wayne Carey

 

[Aberration]

I thought his speed was important on the weekend.

That double effort where he started defensive side of the wing, broke the lines, hit a target in the corridor and got the return handball was sensational, and probably play of the night if he slotted the goal.

He is having a pretty big impact in our forward half his year, just needs to keep hitting the scoreboard.

[Snake_Baker]

Been good all year, but why not get pick 42 for him?

 

[Le Grille]

42? If he was to go as a FA he is in good enough form to get second rounder money which means the afl would give us a 7th rounder. No deal
