Dom Sheed

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

he needs different genes, sorry poor drafting against our needs again

because we drafted a footballer instead of a athlete ? let's just fill our team with Mastens !

bag priddis out then draft another slow plodder.

sheed is no where near as slow as priddis . Sheed is also a great kick on both sides and from the weekend showed he could lead and mark in the forward 50 .

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Having a slower midfielder isn't an issue, if the rest of the team has enough pace.

Get rid of Priddis and Hutchings/Redden for players with a bit more pace and Sheeds perceived lack of top end pace is a complete non-issue.

For all the slack Simmo has been getting about playing the kids he has been game by game allowing Sheed to play his natural game with Priddis playing less and less in the guts....But the problem with Priddis is he cannot play anywhere else.

 

[West123]

What is Priddis contract situation? He's not retiring if he can get paid and the club won't cut a Brownlow medalist and who I assume is a terrific example of good training to the kids.

Out of contract at the end of this season.

Well done to Dommy Sheed making AFL.com's team of the week!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Is good.

 

[Monocle]

Progressing nicely is young Dom.
We just need to get him some additional midfield support to help him going forward.

Well done to Dommy Sheed making AFL.com's team of the week!

Bit of a surprise but a good effort

Probably helped by the fact there were only 6 games this round so a smaller field to choose from

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Congrats to Sheed for the recognition!
Here's the write-up about him:
"DOM SHEED (West Coast): Second to Sam Mitchell in possessions with 30, he also took eight marks, laid six tackles and won five clearances in the Eagles' narrow loss to the Suns."

since returning to the side in round 5, Sheed averaged 23.3 disposals, 4 clearances, 3 tackles, 5 marks and 10 contested possessions a game. Since his return he has probably had one really quiet game and that was the port game where he had 13 touches and a goal . He had 18 games against the dons but had a decent impact i thought. would love his tackle numbers to improve tbh.

 

[FKASC]

Been developing nicely, but hoping he can win more 1 on 1 contests and evade more would-be tacklers, although he can ocassionally break a tackle and wins a fair share of contested ball.

That's what will determine his ceiling IMO. He gets his hands on the footy in stoppages a lot but will be so much more damaging if he could turn that into a clearance more often.

Sheed has some time to go. The most his played on ball in his career have been in the last two weeks. Will get better with experience.

 

[kerr87]

Only 22, as an inside mid won't get near his peak until 25+

Gonna be a gun for us.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Becoming a real goal-kicking midfielder of late. Get around the lad.

 

[WCEbrody]

Will finish top 5 in the B&F. Had he started the season like this he'd be up there with Yeo.

 

[avishka5]

Tank will need to be worked on this offseason. Thats the third game he dropped off in the last. However, he was huge tonight.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Is Dom is good.

 

[Biggie]

Been making some noise regarding Sheed and he is looking every bit the blue chip mid we need

 

[WCEbrody]

3 games in the guts and he's probably been our best mid over the 3 games. Going to be huge if he can get a full pre-season under his belt, feel like he's had some form of injury the last 2.

 

[DanWCE]

I think Dom is fast becoming my replacement crush when Shuey hangs up the boots. Number 4 would look pretty good on the back of my next guernsey..

 

[Farm Boy]

Just dropping in to show some Dom Sheed appreciation. Got him into my supercoach team 6 weeks back. He hasn't let me down. He is already a gun IMO, and on his way to being an elite player. Watched him as a junior - like many of you - and its good to see him starting to replicate that form in the big league.

 

[paran]

Almost 50 games and you can see that he reached a level of consistency. Was expecting big things from him this season and have not been disappointed.

 

[Scotland]

Will finish top 5 in the B&F. Had he started the season like this he'd be up there with Yeo.

Has already missed 3 games so probably not. Only 3 players in the top 10 last year didn't play all 23 games, and they all played 22.

Love the way he goes about it, though. Showing a lot of versatility playing an inside/outside role while we still have Priddis. I reckon he'll relish working with Mitchell as a playing coach. Both are good decision makers. I don't feel a sense of panic when Sheed gets the ball in close and he picks the right option by foot.

 

[Jiggyman]

Still reckon he was the missing piece at times last year. Gives us a whole new dimension.
