Player Watch #12 Angus Sheldrick

[Bloods86]

There’s no clear consensus.

But the general mood is he’s potentially a very good player that we haven’t yet seen a lot of due to injury.

The primary consensus - it’s a tough midfield to break into & West Coast will be waving the chequebook.

Unfortunately there's some who don't care about or pay attention to injuries and their frequency, when evaluating player talent, effort or whether the pick was a failure by the club.

Instead of just being frustrated at what might have been, there's got to be someone at fault.

Encouraging injury recovery news. Hope we get to see the best of him this season

Would be nice. Every time an opportunity beckons, he goes down injured.

 

[BloodySwan]

It’s time.

Small forward?

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Small forward?

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

 

[liz]

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Why not? It’s the role we most obviously need to fill for a few weeks and he’s played there before.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Small forward?

Nah, better put him on Darcy I reckon.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Why not? It’s the role we most obviously need to fill for a few weeks and he’s played there before.

He debuted there, sure - but he has neither played, nor likely trained in the forward role since.

I’m very, very keen to see Gus selected. But small forward is square peg, round hole.

I’m no great wrap on Wicks - but I think he’d be the better option for the Papley replacement.

Bring Gus in when there’s an opportunity to play to his (considerable) strengths. And that is in the guts.

Just watch them debut Hanily instead

I wouldn’t have a problem with them trying Hanily in the role. If he wasn’t injured.

I’d pick Sheldrick ahead of him though. Including to play predominantly in a small forward role.

 

[Bloods86]

If he'd played last week and was decent, I'd have been mentioning him for Papley.

 

[Tedeski]

Sheldrick will be the perfect in to replace Paps. If he stays fit get these last 5 games into him to prep him for finals. He also would go better pinch hitting in the midfield for the odd bounce.

Don't underestimate the hard going the players went through in the last match. Not just men down through injuries but it was very humid, and they were spent in that last quarter. I'd play Sheldrick for extra run & pressure and rest anyone still sore (i.e. Hayward). Corey plays a full game as well. Got to try and get our list as healthy as possible leading up to finals. Two wins may get us top 2, 3 wins and it guarantees us top. I wouldn't be taking any undue risks this week.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

No Gus

 

[rustycrate]

I hope Sheldrick plays in the premiership winning side this year.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

So is Gus suspended or not?

Is he suffering a foot injury or not?

Absolute radio silence from the club.

He accepted an early guilty plea, so he copped a fine and reprimand

The foot thing is weird. From the cryptic quote, it seems he has some soreness post ankle injury? Without seeing the video of what was asked, who knows

What do we want ? Gus Sheldrick.

When do we want him ? Now !

This reminds me of the hilarious "THE FAT PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!" scene in the Office.

"What do we want?"

"PIES!"

"When do we want it?"

"PIES!"

I always knew you were a closet Sheldrick fan.
Glad to see you cheering on on the train.
P.S. I won't tell anyone.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

After today, “it’s now or never”

 

[tombomb]

Disposal pretty scrappy again but provides something that we desperately need and that is the ability to win the ball in tight.

 

[RampeRobe]

It’s just so noticeable when everyone else fumbles and he rolls through with one touch possessions consistently.. surprised that Cleary is getting another run before Gus
