Copped a fine for contacting an umpire. Apparently it was JDG.

And they thought we had the run of the green
One of their players got to be an ump

Langford paid himself front on contact in the second, it was there. I'd say he was not only our best but the best umpire also.

 

[Megabattimus]

It's probably a thing where he accidentally collected an umpire who then collected De Goey. Sucks that they didn't provide any vision in the article, but I'm sure it's probably gonna get found by someone.

 

[bennyg12]

Hardest thing he's ever done

i’d pay $1500 to have Dylan touch me like he touched that umpire

Well, they got the grading right...

Fixed Financial Sanction = FFS!

Was really effective as a small forward. Doesn’t look traditional in that role but what he did worked. Actually gives us a lot more flexibility.

Caldwell and Parish both do ok forward but play more as small half forward flankers. Shiel was much more in and under.

Shiels' power from stoppage works nicely up front, allows him to get that small window of separation.

 

[ghostdog]

He isn't all that good defensively though is he? You're right though in saying that it would of been good to switch Jye into the midfield.

Dunno. I thought he limited JHF when he was on him today.

Look someone has to at least acknowledge how awesome that very hard hard ball get was. Start off the chain for a goal too. One of the plays of the year for EFC.

yes it was awesome - great example of a fair bump, playon

Are we wasting him?

This Shiel is an elite mid in the competition, isn't he?

a Shiel enjoyed wasting is not a wasted Shiel

The concern is that he’s a non existent aerial threat, they weren’t exactly kicks to advantage but Bergman picked him off easily a couple of times.

His link play and his ground ball work at half forward along with Caldwell give us a dimension we haven’t had in a while but we’re missing a bit in the air at the moment.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

He mustn't know his own strength. I'm pretty sure I saw Ken Hinkley writing Rozee's obituary on the sidelines after Shiel steamrolled him. That's team lifting stuff and he has the capacity to do it more often - I just wish he did.

He got suspended for a bump a couple of years ago and has rarely executed one since then, poorer for it

 

[Petrify]

Pretty sure he'd be winning or close to winning our B&F right now

Yeah some of his non competes were pathetic that will get ignored because of that awesome bump

I think people are well aware of his non competes

He played a good game and is having a pretty good year thus far, but it’s hard to ignore that deficiency in his game.

Sticks out like a dogs bollocks when we’re struggling in the air, he’s playing on a taller opponent and we stick it on his head multiple times.

Agree 100% he is terrible as far as marking goes but all things being equal he is not in the side for his contested marking prowess.

He still sounds iffy for this week. Didn’t Scott say it was just a corkie a couple of weeks ago?

 

[citizen-erased]

would be nice to have him back.
North's midfield isn't too bad.

 

[Lore]

Withdrawn from the dreamtime game with a calf injury, then named and withdrawn again with a foot issue against West Coast.

Now they think he might be able to play this week if he gets through training...

Dylan Shiel will be aiming to return after missing the last two weeks, with the midfielder looking to continue his strong form in the 2023 season.

"Provided he gets through training this week, we expect him to be available to play." McPherson said.
