AFL Player # 9: Dylan Shiel - Sticking around for 2025 18/10

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024 2025
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 35, eth-dog

 

[ant555]

I certainly agree we need his experience as we're so young... but pick 13 for him would be ridiculous overs. He played 12 games this year and was sub / subbed in three of them.

I'd take that and run.

Not sure I would bother. It is a nothing pick in this years draft and we do not need to dump his salary because he is gone after next year. If he wants out then so be it . I agree we are not getting pick 13 .

Have heard a few people today rebut the jokes about Shiel being "washed up" according to Saints fans by denouncing how enormous his first 10 weeks were this year.

, Dwyane Russell, a couple of callers on SEN (don't hate me please) all saying he was enormous. I think it goes without saying that IF he stays fit, he absolutely takes that Saint Kilda midfield to the next level.

He get injured a lot for such a physical specimen.

Just doesn't do enough consistently for mine. Goes missing too much.

I don't get the he's broken argument. he played 19/22 games in 2022, 7 games in 2021 whilst 15/17 in 2020 COVID year. 20+ games for the previous 4 years before that and some scintillating footy to boot.

Well there you go. I'm wrong on that account.

Maybe it is preseasons where he is injured?

He had a meniscus issue in 2021 and opted to repair it properly instead of just cutting it out and getting back to playing ASAP, took him out for longer but means he's not carrying that issue with him ongoing.

This year was something entirely separate to that.

Sometimes it's just bad luck, not any lack of physical preparation.

I'd expect Shiel to come back in very, very good shape and have a number of years at AFL level still.

While there have been various reports about the length of his contract, it is understood he signed a seven-year deal worth over $800,000 with Essendon at the end of 2018.

Dylan Shiel joins Bombers

The midfield star has signed with Essendon in the dying stages of the trade period.

6 years, until at least 2024.


Posts at the start of this thread suggest 5m over 6 years, which would've been 833k per year.


If it's longer than that because he triggered an extension or they extended him as part of restructuring his money or something then it wasn't reported anywhere.

833k a year

Poster on Blitz that’s at the B&F is saying that Shiel isn’t there tonight.

Anyone seen pics or footage of him there?

Edit - any pics of Shiel, not the Blitz poster

Nah Shiel's not there.

They just did the milestone recognition for 50, 100, 150, 200 games. Shiel hit 200 in round 1 and wasn't even read out, Merrett got his 200 though (and Caldwell got recognition for 50 which is also half at another club).

Sarah was about to read stuff out and bobbed down to talk to someone out of shot, next thing she's crossing something off her running sheet.

He's gotta be goneski.

Seems rough. Should have still been recognised.
