I dont get it

Sheil ?
The clue was something about splitting a defence by putting a letter in the first name.

- You take a shield (a defensive item)
- You remove the d
- you put it in his first name ('D'ylan)
- you get left with Shiel
- you confuse the **** out of the Carlton BF board for half an hour....

Simples (well, simple since professor ShanDog solved it)

Kind of reminded me of that old joke "How do you keep an idiot in suspense?".

No matter what happens there’s no doubt he comes back to Melbourne to play footy.Eagles on the down ward spiral no talent coming through years of regenerating that list.No brainer to leave.

Shiel would play the same role as Cripps and Kennedy. Would cost a lot.

Kennedy probably made up his mind to leave GWS because of Shiel in their side along with Hopper.

List-balance wise doesn't make sense. 3 inside mids - none fast either.

I know he is good but not sure we should take him.

Edit: If Cripps went fwd then might make sense.
Shiel is quick and his outside game is dynamite.
I think he fits perfectly into our long term midfield mix. All can kick goals.
2 inside bulls - Cripps & Kennedy
2 gun inside/outside players - Shiel & Dow
2 balanced mids - SPS & Fisher
Plus outside mids in O'Brien, Lang, Pickett, Garlett (& Gaff?) and hbf/mid types in Williamson, Cuningham and Docherty.

Add in a spattering of talls (from Charlie, Weit, March, Plow, Harry, Jack, TDK, etc) and maybe a specialist small at each end that's pretty much a team. A damn good one at that too.

(I've only really named guys younger than 25 here too, so when I say long term I mean it. There's obviously gonna be a few senior guys that stick around for quite a while pending form and fitness... Jones, Kreuz, Murph, Ed, Wright, etc)
