AFL Player # 9: Dylan Shiel - 3AW interview -16/8

[Beerfish]

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

 

[DERO]

Was one of our best last night.

 

[Darealrath]

Was one of our best last night.

Agree - since he's been back it's looked like he's playing within his limitations in selfless way.

 

[Blind Turn]

Has shown poise in traffic on numerous occasions to find time to detect a loose teammate. It’s what separates the stars from the satellites. Pendlebury and Merrett do it effortlessly. Shiel not so effortlessly, but does it nonetheless.

Yep, has been important.

TBH, I am giving him another year. Get parish back distributing by hand to Shiel, Caldwell & Durham and I think we look 100% better. Esp with Stringer struggling to break free in the middle.

Tsatas needs another year with 70% vfl IMO.

 

[Beerfish]

TBH, I am giving him another year

On top of next year?

 

[MiguelM]

On top of next year?

Oh, does he still have 1 to go?

If that is the case, just 2025 then re assess mid year.

We don't have a lot of midfield depth.

 

[ant555]

I am still letting him go if he wants out and someone wants him. His level is good but we have Hobbs coming through and Parish long term. We are unlikely to trade out one of Hobbs / Parish / Tsatas ang Dylan has had injury issues for a few years in a row now.

 

[quotemokc]

We need to get value for him while we can, he isn't getting any younger and we are clearly not going to be a contender before he retires.

 

[Nicholas61]

Seems a lot cleaner with ball use than after he got Essington'd pretty much soon as he came through our doors. Quite evasive and still has genuine pace - this is the player you would give up good picks for (at the age we got him).

Plus Hobbs and Tsatas need to be given more opportunity in the seniors to see if they can make it.

I think it'll be a token trade if he wants out - we're not getting anything more than a minor pick upgrade or a 4th rounder. Look at what Hawthorn got for Jordan Lewis a few years ago who was around the same age and in better form and health (they got picks 48 and 66 and gave back 57 and 68).

Sssshhhhh

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Stocks are rising ever so slightly these past few weeks. Might be able to recoup some of the draft capital we torched in securing his services…

 

[div12ressie]

Absolutely carried us in the 4th quarter. Gun performance

 

[naraku]

The past month, he has really just been a leader I think. She trying to lead out there.

 

[Megabattimus]

Keep him. He was so ****ing good in that last quarter.

[Jobe Watson]

Huge performance in the last.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

He carried us for a 5 minute burst in the 4th

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Worth two first rounders at a bare minimum SOS, pay up champ!

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Solid game overall but enormous int he last. 62% TOG and spent like the last 10 minutes on the bench was perplexing.

 

[quotemokc]

His time on ground is still very low compared the the rest of the team since returning

[Snake Charmer]

Still a decent player. If he wants out we might get a second for him. Who knows

 

[Bunk Moreland]

He was massive when we needed somebody.

Less might be more with Shiel. Less game time means more bursts of speed when he's on the field.

Stepped up today. Very pleasing to see. Massive Q4.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Just watched the replay. That last quarter was ****ing massive. Unreal
