Dyl has the feet up

 

[FlyingV]

Late Feb! Oh boy he’s not going to be rolling until mid-season. And I base that off how ineffective he has been when returning half cooked from previous low body injuries.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Just get him primed for september

Just get him primed for september

Has he booked his holidays already?

 

[Old Campaigner]

Just get him primed for september

Gonna be dancing like a duck on a hotplate in Ibiza next year

 

[Godzke]

Not available until late Feb?
Geez ... guess that's another $900k we'll have up our sleeve for the next trade window

The club were happy to send Lovett, Carlisle to St Kilda; but the guilt proved too much for them with Shiel.

That timeing on the Carlisle trade was impeccable. The second the signature was done Carlisle was like...

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Someone made a point about rest being the preferred option which I can understand.

Also, it would be pretty hard to dance in Ibiza with swollen knackers.

I found that the dancing in Ibiza was often the cause of some swollen knackers

Ugh. It's starting to feel like the team is going past Shiel quite quickly.

This is how depth works, it's nice. Means no one plays unless they're fit, and in form, and better than guys already in the AFL side.

Imagine a scenario where a fit and ready to play Shiel is forced to play VFL because our AFL side is strong enough to keep him out?

It's true. Can't help feeling a bit sorry for Shiel though. I'm hoping it's form that pushes him out rather than injuries.

not overly difficult when Shiel is treading water

Made an account to come here and post the most unoriginal comment.

Dylan Shiel is also progressing well in his recovery from a foot injury, with the midfielder continuing to build his on-field running volumes with the aim of commencing agility work and reintegration into training next month.

Actually think this guy is another forward option when fit.

Have you seen him kick?

 

[Happyskeret]

Have you seen him kick?

Yes Yodelinhank he is a terrible kick I’m not disputing that. But maybe if you get him closer to goal he has less chance of missing!

But you’re not the only one
