Well they’re both nippy!

Fantastic work (and effort) by a lot of people at EFC to get Dylan through the door. Can’t underestimate the amount of work that the club has invested over a long period of time in getting Dylan Shiel. IMO he was the best player available in the trade period who suited our needs, and we got him. I can imagine that Merrett’s holiday just got a whole lot better.

Welcome to the Essendon Football Club, Dylan.

Someone needs to get an edit of that video they did for the Caddy trade. With that wheezing giggling old man ■■■■■■■ himself essentially at how they got him for a banged up Deledio.

Blues thinking they in it, flying him on jet, trying again when he’d already nominated us, thinking they had a half chance again!

Today is so much less stressful than the previous ten.

Fark you, AwFuL.

Dear Speedy,
I tried to get the video but got a Gateway 502 error and then it all crashed.
I think it will be impossible to do this. I think you’ll just have to use your imagination.

Just on this Shiel bloke.
Kinda get the feeling his debut for us is going to be even more exciting and anticipated than Stringer.
Jake came in with fitness issues etc.
Shiel comes in primed and ohh so ready to go.

it’s going to be interesting

Shiel and Smith vs Treloar and Adams

Who is the better combination?

I love the video when Dylan called Jackets with his decision.

Jackets: “Dyls, how are ya?”

Dyls: “I’m good. How are you?”

Jackets: “A bit nervous”

Dyls: “Don’t be mate. I’M COMING

This will be a Quote for the ages!!

Just watched the interview with Dylan. A very impressive young bloke and I’m ■■■■■■ delighted he’s coming to Essendon. Sensational result for the club.

The blacked out word started with b by the way.

This article is amazing for two reasons

Firstly, it refers to Shiel and Treloar as ‘the best prospects since Ryan Bastinac’

Secondly, it reveals that Shiel and Treloar both grew up as fanatical Carlton fans who idolised Chris Judd

Yet when they both eventually chose to come back to Melbourne, many years after this article was written, instead of playing for Carlton, one of them chose to play for Collingwood and the other one for Essendon.

Fark Carlton

Really seems like a good fit on and off field. We had to give up slight overs but our list is young and we are priming and pining for success.

“They’re a team hungry for success and there’ll be getting a teammate with the same values.” Like!

Interesting he said Stringers name first when talking about players he’s excited to play with.

Our midfield is going to be bullet proof.
