@Henry_s_Angry_Pills - If you consider one of the kids we gave up being Caldwell then the overall scenario is fine and the continual grizzling over the trade not warranted
I don’t think we paid overs for Shiel against what other top mids had been traded for as is. And we certainly haven’t if you compare against what Caldwell came back as and the overall.
I’d posted this previously
I mean it also comes down to whether we would have selected these players in the draft so it doesn’t really work like that
I think I read somewhere we wouldve taken Caldwell if im not mistaken
Shiel not in our best 22. When going ordinary in mid he cant go forward or back. Bust!
We’ve seen enough even from a few matches (including pre season) to know that Caldwell is a good footballer but there are some red flags with him right now for me with his body. Repeat hamstring injuries are a legitimate concern.
History with them as a junior, further strains at the Giants, they methodically tried to rebuild him and increase his resilience which I’m sure we’d have continued when he came to us. Yet a game and half into the season proper he does another significant strain.
Alarm bells for mine.
Once you do it repeatedly there is also a mental/confidence aspect to it that is overlayed on top of the physical drawbacks.
Let’s hope he comes back and gets through the second half of the season unscathed and doesn’t show that he’s become less dynamic.
i think he looked good as a fwd/mid against the cats and in the first half against hawthorn. He played mostly mid against port and the second half of the hawks game.
LOL
The turn on Shiel on here is pretty funny. He aint going anywhere.
Sure, but that’s hypothetical territory.
Maybe the guys we picked with those picks all would’ve been terrible, and never played a game. Does that mean Shiel was even better value?
he should be a hf, not many would be able to keep up with him on the lead, and he has a HUGE left foot kick
The bloke took less money to join our club and people want him gone
We should be thankful that we are not North and actually have players like Sheil wanting to come to us
This thread show who the ■■■■■■■ idiots are on this forum, ■■■■■■■ laughable some of the stuff said
Well said Nino! 
That is an absolute rubbish comment. Go sit in the corner !
Id give my left nut to have Shiel in the team today.
That is probably no sacrifice, you can still manage with one.
like what?
*shows
Some of the ■■■■ I say is pretty rubbish tbh
there’s one person who said he’s not best 22 which is just trolling but I definitely understand people who would consider trading him
ive said since the day we got him, shiel is a good player but he wasn’t the right player/type for us.
