Trade Discussion 2018 thread #1 - We’re gonna need a bigger boat for the wave pool!

Lyons, Miller and Beams all rank ahead of Shiel for Clearances both total and average - Centre and Stoppage

And you know what. I don’t care.

But on pace and power he’d be ahead of them

Lyons keeps being dropped so obviously not doing something right

Shiel’s just a very good midfielder. He’s played more inside some years, more outside some years, can get clearances, can kick, can spread, can do all the football things. I know we’re used to having midfielders who can only do this or only do that, but you could put Shiel anywhere and he’d do it very well.

So does David Myers…

Aceman do you have anything? You had good mail last year! How we go in 2019 will be decided in the trade period. We just need a couple of the missing pieces like the Tigers got a couple of years back.

Good player that Myers!

Not really and of course clearances aren’t everything…

Throw the kitchen sink at Seb Ross, get him in.

They aren’t but when people call fall that “inside midfield bull” then that puts a different spin…

Hi Beams

Not worth anywhere near a kitchen sink.

Maybe a draining rack, plus maybe one of those bottle brushes. Not sure what the steak knives would be.

I don’t understand how ‘average’ is used in that table.

What’s the age difference between the two?

It is their ranking. So Beams is ranked 41st for average contested possessions.

Ranking not tally. I’d take 80 plus clearances a week from Wallis if that was the case.

Ta.
Makes Lyons look like a superman, though.
Is that league-wide? He’s a clearance machine!
