#9 Dylan Shiel (Part 1)

Killer_Mike · February 7, 2019, 4:17am

Nope, definitely Dylan.

McGrath wins the Norm

sj_2150 · February 7, 2019, 4:19am

i thought that was Tippa

theDJR · February 7, 2019, 4:23am

Nah, he wins Mark of the Year (gets a boost on top of Joe on top of Carlisle).

Deckham · February 7, 2019, 4:24am

I thought it was Parish

Killer_Mike · February 7, 2019, 4:31am

Nah, he takes out the Freeman medal

Bomb_Doe · February 7, 2019, 4:32am

Myers for Even More Improved?

Killer_Mike · February 7, 2019, 4:33am

bags wins that

Chris_1993 · February 7, 2019, 4:33am

Has he played long enough to qualify?

Bomb_Doe · February 7, 2019, 4:35am

this year

Bomb_Doe · February 7, 2019, 4:35am

back on topic…

That would be an excellent outcome.

Killer_Mike · February 7, 2019, 4:42am

I’m a believer.

I think the club is in a very good place.

And all the talk from the club this preseason sounds like a club that is quietly confident.

We have the older guys still at the top of their game. We have the middle age group of high quality players and then we have the talented youngsters that are ready to take the next step.

The stars are aligning.

It’s one step up from our recent trend of big recruits winning the best and fairest

Lance84 · February 7, 2019, 5:33am

Shiel will be in the spotlight this year because he was the “big fish” in the trade season just gone. That will certainly help with Brownlow votes.

Let’s not forget Merrett has polled about 20 more votes than Dylan in 2 less seasons. My money would be on Zach.

aboods · February 7, 2019, 7:11am

Pffft… won’t even win the Club best and fairest.

Merrett

cul_de_sac · February 7, 2019, 7:19am

Well it’s not like the Brownlow winner hasn’t been their clubs best and fairest before. I’d be somewhat surprised if Shiel had a Brownlow season though

Finding_Nino · February 7, 2019, 8:17am

He’s going to do a Devon Smith and smash it.

all this talk by critics saying he was the Giants 5th best midfielder will be driving him.

chris_64 · February 7, 2019, 8:52am

Shiel had to compete with a galaxy of top5 draft pick mids at GWS. This resulted in reduced midfield time. Imo brownlow votes are proportional to midfield time. I expect Shiel to share central midfield role with Hepp about 50/50. He will get more brownlow votes than in any previous season.

Deckham · February 7, 2019, 9:02am

Pidge for my money.

Reboot · February 7, 2019, 9:07am

It was actually injury to Scully, and Whitfield having to go back, meaning they needed Shiel to play as an outside player that lead to less inside mid time.

Darli · February 7, 2019, 9:15am

And Hepp has polled more than both of them
