Relative to the list position it's incredibly fair.That's very harsh Bomza!
I think we have a player on our hands with Sheldrick, unlike Lamb or Gould.
He's a consistent performer in the VFL and if nothing else, has shown he has the potential to play decent footy at the highest level.
He just needs to bang the door down more than he has this year.

I don't disagree with any of that but maybe Tom Mitchell is a better example - good young player who simply has to bide his time. Jed Lamb was a potato LOLRelative to the list position it's incredibly fair.
I'm a big Gus fan
However in a stacked midfield. Basically the best the swans have ever had. His place in is fortuitous.
The Adams for Gus war cry is extraordinarily ignorant and doesn't acknowledge or understand the jigsaw like makeup of a midfield.
He'll get his time. He's 21 ffs
**can't play him because he's not versatileI think Sheldrick is a good player. Longmire just refuses to play him as he isn't particularly versatile.
Morso the obsession with a player.I don't disagree with any of that but maybe Tom Mitchell is a better example - good young player who simply has to bide his time. Jed Lamb was a potato LOL
The question being asked by most isnt whether Gus is, or will be good enough to play at an AFL level.Relative to the list position it's incredibly fair.

It’s whether he’s currently a better option than Taylor Adams. Or at least whether he should be played this week in case he’s needed as injury cover come finals.
I don’t see it as hyperbole. They’re fair questions.
Horse currently prefers Adams, fair enough. We are the minor premiers & Adams has been part of it.
But Adams’ form has been sliding, whilst Gus has been on the up.
The mids as they are won 13/14, and 16/22 to be minor premiers... and those later losses eerily coincide with a run of key injuries and forced personnel changes! And now you want to disrupt the mids further. Crazy to my mind!
If Sheldrick hasn't bought into the 'team first' ethos, then fine go somewhere else, we don't want you no matter how good you will be. If he has, he's well aware his time will come, and working to improve his game and flexibility, content with the knowledge that once he's in, it will take more that a couple of poor games to dislodge him!
Personally, I think only injury or suspension will change the midfield now, and I hope neither happens!

All going well, he has a massive injury free preseason and he is primed and ready to go in 2025.
In fairness KS, that same midfield have also been nowhere near the level we need them to be at for a few months now. So I think changing things up is a reasonable discussion. I just think reality needs to come into it. Heeney, Rowbottom & Warner are not going to be budged from the midfield no matter what any of us fans may think, so anyone in the mids with them has to be able to play in other roles as well, like Gulden & McInerney (wing) and Papley, Parker & Adams (forward)The mids as they are won 13/14, and 16/22 to be minor premiers... and those later losses eerily coincide with a run of key injuries and forced personnel changes!

I don’t think he has completed a full preseason since he came to the club. He has constantly been injured.He has been injury free for around 6 weeks, and been playing some very good football in the reserves, and despite our midfield being destroyed in the clearances, and clearances being Sheldrick's big strength Longmire still refused to play him.
If Adams squeezes people out of the team that will be the coaches' doing, not his. If they painted themselves into that corner let's make sure we apportion blame where it belongs.I really hope that Adams is part of a premiership this year, otherwise he may end up solely being known for squeezing Parker and Sheldrick out of the team. I also don’t see this as hyperbole.

While I agree with the sentiment, time has run out in 2024. We've had the opportunity to test who we think will be required depth, and if we have the misfortune of injuries cutting beyond that number, then we'll just have to take a gamble with whoever we entrust in that role. Whether that's Gus, or someone else we haven't been able to give an opportunity to in 2024.The question being asked by most isnt whether Gus is, or will be good enough to play at an AFL level.

Exactly Masey.All going well, he has a massive injury free preseason and he is primed and ready to go in 2025.
Why wouldn't he?So McInerney doesn't get back in?
Hmmm... I'm not rusty...Rusty, I have to disagree.
These are professional footballers who have a (very) limited window of opportunity to earn good money & set themselves up for life.
It’s not about “team first ethos” or some sense of loyalty. It’s about a career*.
* except for Judas.
I've already posted my thoughts on the slump twice now... I'm not going through it again...In fairness KS, that same midfield have also been nowhere near the level we need them to be at for a few months now.

It would be cool if, now that the VFL is over, Sheldrick trained as a forward for the rest of this year, just to see how he goes and if he can add that string to his bow.
Why wouldn't he?
Ha, I’m so sorry - Kirky!Hmmm... I'm not rusty...
And that's okay... I don't expect you to agree... it's just my opinion
Sorry, perhaps it wasn't clear... I'm fully expecting the McInerney, Papley and Chad will come back into the team and be a part of the midfield as they have been all year. I am not expecting Gus to come in this year...You said only injury or suspension should prompt a change in midfield? Or did you include returns from injury?
