Still has a lot to offer.I’d be real careful of trading this bloke. We are very very low on experience as it is.
I'm okay with it if he wants one last crack at a flag. We sold him a lemon and he's been an utmost professional and an excellent player despite the idiotic criticism from many.I’d be real careful of trading this bloke. We are very very low on experience as it is.

agree completelyI'm okay with it if he wants one last crack at a flag. We sold him a lemon and he's been an utmost professional and an excellent player despite the idiotic criticism from many.
Mason Redman?I'm okay with it if he wants one last crack at a flag. We sold him a lemon and he's been an utmost professional and an excellent player despite the idiotic criticism from many.
Nah, some on here. Like you.Mason Redman?

I'd leave it up to him, if he wants to go somewhere for a shot at a flag then we should facilitate it for him, he was absolutely sold a lemon and deserves the choice of how and where his career finishes out.
Millions of dollars selling a flag to a gun inside midfielder in his prime to play in two finals over 5 years.Millions of dollars and two top picks to sky the ball inside 50 or shank it into the crowd and refuse to defend on the subsequent transition, yeah It was Shiel that was sold the lemon![]()
Lemons for everyone. It's a 'lemon party! Now to go and google an appropriate image to complete my post...Millions of dollars and two top picks to sky the ball inside 50 or shank it into the crowd and refuse to defend on the subsequent transition, yeah It was Shiel that was sold the lemon![]()
Finals are earned. You don't just get to play in them due to reputation. And you certainly don't get to play in them when you can't kick and won't defend.Millions of dollars selling a flag to a gun inside midfielder in his prime to play in two finals over 5 years.
Yeah, he was sold a lemon.
I'll be celebrating with a cool glass of turnip juice if we manage to get a trade for Shiel up.Lemons for everyone. It's a 'lemon party! Now to go and google an appropriate image to complete my post...
So guys like Dangerfield, Fyfe, Tom Mitchell etc didn't earn finals?Finals are earned. You don't just get to play in them due to reputation. And you certainly don't get to play in them when you can't kick and won't defend.

One of these things is not like the others:So guys like Dangerfield, Fyfe, Tom Mitchell etc didn't earn finals?
We sold him a dream to get him to pick us ahead of Carlton and Hawthorne. We sold him a lemon, you're beyond help if you don't get that.

You said guys who couldn't kick and didn't defend. You put no other restrictions on that. I'm just pointing how dumb your argument is.One of these things is not like the others:
Shiel, Dangerfield, Fyfe, Mitchell
Yeah but he wasn't sold a lemon. Not at all. Just listen to hank. He knows better than everyone else."Come play for Essendon, we have a generational FF and are primed for a flag tilt!"
24 months on
"We're rebuilding!"
I'm only trying to help you understand reality, eth. Never seen any of those guys berated by their team mates for refusal to defend. Dangerfield even became much more of a defensive minded player at a time he was the clear number 1 player in the comp. And Shiel is a far worse kick than any of them.You said guys who couldn't kick and didn't defend. You put no other restrictions on that. I'm just pointing how dumb your argument is.
And yeah, one of them is slow too. Mitchell really doesn't fit.

How many good games did Shiel play for the bombers? How many games does it take to play finals? But it's everyone else's fault we couldn't carry him to finals![]()
How many good games? I'd say 90% of his games were at a good to very good standard. Also Dangerfield is the worst defensively of any of the ones listed.I'm only trying to help you understand reality, eth.

One is literally playing in a prelim tomorrow nightIn fairnness to Shiel, Joe and Fantasia requested trades at the end of his first year after being 2 of the guys pitching to him. They made a pact with Merrett as well which while they technically haven't broken yet, they dogged the boys.
In saying that Shiel was well paid and the other 2 clubs he was considering have done nothing either. And he chose the club with Worsfold coaching it. He's also had injury issues.
If he asks for a trade would probably facilitate it but we owe him no more than he owes us.
Yeah but GreshI’d be real careful of trading this bloke. We are very very low on experience as it is.
It wasn't me calling him out on the field for not defending. It wasn't me calling him out on the field for being soft.Well done on being so desperate to talk down Shiel that you’ve failed to understand even the most basic of comments![]()
