Said the same thing to my brother at the game. I get why he didn't get a chance this year but if we're going to fix this clearance shit he's the only one on the list that can do it.
Sheldrick is the most fiercely competitive kid you’ll meet.
He’s part of what we need. Some inside mongrel and a burst of clearance speed.
If we lose him because of Horse and his stubbornness, I’d be a mix of angry and shattered.

That's not a bad place to start. No-one plays big inside minutes early in their career. Just needs to get on the paddock.

Warner who leaves for WA
Did you see what happened to us in the clearances today?
Honestly I still think that if he was drafted in say 2018-19 he would have been experimented with more earlier on in his career. He missed the window where Horse would play anyone.
Alas he was drafted into a year where we made the GF all of a sudden. But time to unleash him.

Did better in the sprint today than many who actually played.
Starting 22 next year - game 1. Same with Cleary.
Same with Adams.
Don’t care who goes out, take your pick as today’s 23 are never winning us a flag.

Caleb strong did. Jai Newcombe did.
No one plays it if the players there are really good or if they aren’t injured. But hawthorn showed that if you get rid your existing players the new ones can do it through time and experience. With hawthorn that meant a losing season.
But with us given that our mids can’t win it at the coal face anyway maybe it’s irrelevant
I’m absolutely not expecting Sheldrick can do what Neale was doing to the level he was doing it yesterday, but if you watch Neale’s quick hands and ground ball winning and explosive run from contest to contest, that is what we need at least to a serviceable level. The only player on the list who you could argue could provide it to some level is Sheldrick. He’s gotta have a massive offseason and make himself indisputable for round one.

Gotta start Round 1. 6th fastest sprinter in the AFL as well. Dude will leave if we don’t give him a chance. Tell him right now he’ll be a lock if uninjured.

I think this’ll be the first off/preseason where he’ll be almost 100% fit (last year he was just coming back from that nasty ankle injury).
Was slogging it out at training whilst his WA teammate was off playing golf with a rival club CEO.
Both are out of contract this year.
Both are being pursued by West Coast.
Vote 1: SIGN GUS!

Do you have any idea how Chad is spending his time in Perth, other than one publicised round of golf? I don’t think you can accuse Chad of not working hard in previous off-seasons, away from the club as well as at the club.

Yeah, I know. My comment was firmly tongue-in-cheek.
Having said that - it doesn't change my view that I don't like the optics of Chad playing golf with a rival CEO who is trying to entice him away from his current club. Especially when many of his teammates are already back doing the hard slog in training.

He should be in the team round 1. Regardless of who is already there. Play him on ball. Him and Rowy and Heens will be a fearsome trio.
If you configure a midfield like this (ToG%):
Whoisit? Mid Forward Back Bench
Heeney 60. 20. 0. 20
Mills 70. 0. 10. 20
Rowbottom 80. 0. 0. 20
Sheldrick 60. 10. 0. 30
Warner 30. 50. 0. 20
I think that could work just fine. Mills can drop back as the spare when the opposition gets a run on. Sheldrick will probably need slightly lower ToG% but can do a couple of stints forward. Warner mostly forward (maybe wing for CBs?) with occasional visits (swap with Heeney?).
Enough there to totally change our approach.

I would have Mills in that trio before Sheldrick.
