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

No u.

On the whole he was good, two terrible handballs and that last kick where he was clearly gassed and sold into trouble anyway.

Wait, so people watched him kick for goal and didn't think "well that's pretty ****ed"?

 

[eth-dog]

Disposal was poor but worked hard.

 

[Zach Package]

Not worth the 2 firsts we paid for him. Shame the board stepped in.

You’re taking 2 pick 12s over Shiel and Mosquito?

He’s a freak by the way, gets no help but just goes out there and chucks himself into contests at a million miles an hour. Got his head ripped off about 4 times tonight.

Taking the piss surely.

 

[JayJ20]

Worked hard, but he needs to be better than that.

 

[quotemokc]

Terrible user of the ball

A busted ass and a ripped head poor sheil.

You on the piss Hank?

Reading me like a book.

Worked his ring off but some really strange moments.

Shiel may not be the player we hoped but he is a nett positive.

 

[Shane Heard]

come on Dylan lovers...admit he is very consistently ordinary with his hand passing and kicking in key moments of play.

it’s quite clearly evident now. there’s no dispute


anyway...it’s what we gave up to get this guy from the giants that peeves me the most

He’s no mark mercuri ..but we hoped he would be

More like Mark Fraser.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Disposal was very poor tonight.

yes...chortle

he is a fraser

polished mover with horrendous disposal under pressure

 

[Mikevk123]

Poor mans Adam Treloar

I just don't get it. The righties can adapt and kick and handball on their left side, but the lefties have got no *ing idea. Generally.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Worked very hard but a few soft moments and far too many poor disposals or completely missed targets. His performance was C grade at times.

 

[ant555]

I was all for paying the overs to get him and he was never an elite kick but his disposal has gone and is continuing to go down hill since he came to us.

 

[Ambrosia]

I’m far more comfortable with what we paid for Shiel than what we paid for Stringer

How did you get Mark Mercuri as a player comparison for Sheil?

Sheil is Judd lite (including the shitty disposal).

mercuri always made the right decisions under pressure...uncanny 360 degree awareness while under pressure plus superb foot skills

judd was a beast

dylan is none of the above unfortunately

freak forwards don’t grow on trees

pretty boy mids are a dime a dozen

He’s not Mercuri at all. Hence my confusion that anyone made the comparison.

As for Judd, I think they’re similar types of players. Sheil an inferior version. Both great at stoppages and burst from packs. Both iffy disposal with Sheil far “iffier”. Sheil’s not a beast but I’m also not saying they’re comparable in every facet either.

yeah...” he’s no mercuri”

that’s my point

you can compare Shiel to Judd all day long for i care.

but it’s a pointless comparison

so...that’s about all i have to say in regards to that little discussion

Hately & Bonar (with Moz in return?)

Im still happy...even if he can be erratic with the old disposals

Shiel is by far our best inside ball winner. Stringer can't run
