2025 VFL Premiership Season Brisbane Bears v Essendon Round 10 • Friday 30 May 2025 • 12:05 PM (GMT+10)

Do not disagree. Just dislike the constant hate for Essendon players so many supporters have.

Has to be scrappier as nothing ever hits a target.

No one in this thread hates him,
Again we are just pointing out the obvious.

So when he is on the bench he should be influencing one of those 321 possessions? What about when he is in the middle and the opposition have it in the forward line? Or their back line? That is why it is a ridiculous response.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

You sure about that?
I don’t believe he has a future at the club, but I do believe that he plays to his capacity every week. Some people are born to put their head over the ball, others are not. His game is based on outside run, not getting down and dirty in the weeds, and everyone knows it, then complain when that is the way he plays.

Every single good midfield in the competition requires their players to buy in defensively.
Its not about putting your head over the ball. There are players that do it and players that dont.
The good midfields players that dont win hard footy still run hard to defend the ground.

Shiel does not do this. To suggest he does is a complete fabrication. He is also a horrible kick of the footy.

He is what he is. Call a spade a spade.

Speaking of ridiculous…
You think I literally meant he should be impacting every single opposition disposal?

Fmd. You can’t be real.

Dylan Shiel?

The writing is on the wall there. He is done and depth only. That’s why he is a 32 year old (ish) running around in the vfl.

That was your question, you tell me.

keep gerard healy away

He’s just good enough to keep his name up for selection. It would be better if he did ■■■■■■■ stink.

Great news on Huss.

I’m more excited by him than Sweid given he fills a massive need.

I guess expecting common sense is too much sometimes.
But even then, no, nothing in my statement implied he should be impacting every one of them.

Figured Itd be extremely obvious. You suggested he couldn’t tackle because he had the ball. I was asking what he was doing when the opposition had it.

Let’s leave it here, at this point it feels like you’re deliberately missing the point.

No argument there.

Shiel 29 possessions including 21 contested possessions. He will play seniors vs Blues.
