I’m sure there will be people calling for his inclusion all week just because of the brand name.

He had very little impact in the VFL today.

1491

Yep. Would have been on the FA list if we weren’t stuck with him for another year.
Be interesting to see what happens if he plays alot of VFL this year

1492

I wouldn’t be shocked to see him ask for a trade. We wouldn’t get much in return.

I’d love to know what that trigger was.

I’m a sucker for salt and vinegar, but at this stage id even accept Chicken…

Should be looking a class above at VFL level, isn’t. And if wants recall showing absolutely desperation, isht.

Damn shame he had that knee issue at trade period. Would have been best for all if had ended up at Saints

Still expect him to build and likely be used later in season though, especially if we are intending to move him on

I’d have thought it’d be games played, but given he’s only played 76 that seems an extremely low trigger for an initial 6 year deal…

1499

Yep.

I have a sneaky feeling it was a 7 year deal all along.

We wouldn’t get anything. And would still be winners in the trade

1502

He’s a good influence around the club and keeps pressure on the mids in the senior team to perform.

1503

He’s been an absolute unmitigated failure. He isn’t a leader, isn’t even best 22, and the embodiment of so much that is wrong, or has been, with the list. Thank you Xavier for sticking your useless beak into trading and pushed us to get Sheil

Would have had Bobby Hill too

Holy ■■■■, some of you are acting like Shiel is the worst player to have ever played for Essendon.

Based on?

This sounds like a win/win. Not being funny but our midfield looks like it’s gone past him and if he wants to play AFL then he’d be better off asking for a trade elsewhere.

1508

For the price we paid, yeah he probably is

Not sure how you came to that conclusion.

If it’s anything to do with McCartney though, he’s hated us since we made him look silly in the Stringer trade.
