[Lore]

Seems rough. Should have still been recognised.

I guess they didn't want to draw attention to it, but I agree. Read his name out and keep his award backstage

 

[Call Me Cake]

The BnF really be like

Shiel had knee surgery this week. Explains why he wasn’t at the B&F

 

[andleanback]

Knee surgery the likely reason he wasn’t in attendance

 

[Beerfish]

Well scheduled Dr knee guy.

 

[cAsEy_18]

Was knee surgery also the likely reason they didn’t acknowledge his 200 game milestone?

yes. you have knee surgery, you are dead to us.

 

[crackers65]

He last played 11 weeks ago. Why is he only having surgery now? God forbid criticising our medical department.

 

[mattyboy_666]

Imagine this place when Shiel actually ends up staying.. place is gonna blow up!

 

[Don Won]

O

Maybe, but there's no need for so much negativity in this thread.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Well scheduled Dr knee guy.

 

[DERO]

Yep looks like the seas have sorted and shiel is goneski
Au voir Dylan

It is "au revoir" you philistine

 

[Milanista28]

I don't care what's happened in the relationship between the club and Dylan, we should've recognised his 200 games, it's disrespectful not to.

Yeah agree to this in a sense but then again he’s only played 76 of those 200 with us

 

[ghostdog]

200 is 200 I reckon. Culture building.

We recognised Caldwell for his 50, played 11 for GWS.

 

[DERO]

If he wanted to be at the Crichton he would have been there.

 

[Milanista28]

If he wanted to be at the Crichton he would have been there.

Still not an excuse to not recognise him. He can be mad at the club if he wants, we can still show respect. Anyway whatever happens hope for all parties we move on and best of luck to all.

I agree.

 

[justlookingaround]

Is it possible Shiel declined festivities for his 200th?
As far as I know it's basically unprecedented for a player not to be honoured by the club on basically any milestone game.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Has he thrown the toys out of the cot due to being shopped around?

 

[EnolaGay]

Has he thrown the toys out of the cot due to being shopped around?

I think he's very open to moving?

 

[eth-dog]

Has he thrown the toys out of the cot due to being shopped around?

Why would he be throwing the toys out when it's most likely the case that he's the one seeking a move?

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Just putting it out there given his non-attendance at the Crichton. Do you think he sees the writing on the wall with minimal midfield time at Essendon hence a desire to move on?
