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

Players mature at different speeds. Perhaps the penny has dropped for Atley.

Best footy still ahead of him. He’s showing some glimpses.
He hasn’t been half bad this year.

Would have capped off a good outing if he nailed that goal.

When he backs himself in he's something else. Like the pies game.

Makes a massive difference for a bloke who takes off like the clappers and he can see somebody making position up the field. How many times did Atley run then have to stop and retreat because there was nobody ahead of him in any position to receive? Last night the targets presented (not just for Atley) and north were potent!

Would have capped off a good outing if he nailed that goal.

Sure would have. That was one we want to see go through every time in 2020+

Atley reminds me of our season

You see him play like that and you wonder what could have been

 

[SlyCunnington]

I think Atley’s time has come. Time to move him on.

Working beautifully

He is a momentum player to a tee.
When he’s rolling so are we and we would just love to see him do that regularly

Best game in four years

Need to watch again with the 'real time' stress out of it but it did feel like he played very decisively.

I feel like he was getting to the right places and always received the ball in attacking areas.

Definitely felt like Shaw had some input on his positioning as he was very effective.

Just needed to take that shot at goal in the 2nd? after his run. The very next play Simpkin told everyone to get the * out of the way, he was 100% committed to having a s**t. I wish Atley did that.

Ats ain't a committed shitter? How would you know?

Ahhh god dammit.

Shot guys. A shot.

He was a bit further out than Simpkin, though. Regardless, I would have liked him to have a ping. Just like he did against Sydney in the 2015 semi.

Oh boy don't remind me.

 

[muttley45]

100% he should have had a shot, and nailed that goal running in, i half reckon Jed was not expecting to be the recipient of a pass in that situation, as previously stated, thankfully Jy showed how it is done pretty soon after.

I remember at the Syd Barker one night when Ats asked Quivorir where he lived.

I don't want to rag on him, but the most under the radar 200 games in the clubs history. I guess that's what happens when you average 17 touches 0.2 goals a game as a running half back, with not many lockdown responsibilities with questionable skills at times.

Should thank god every day for his pace, congrats on the 200, but it probably represents where the clubs been for the last decade.

He's only 28, could quite easily reach 300 games, let that sink in for a second.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

I was hoping that after the * game last year that he'd stop blindly kicking out of packs, but alas no.
