One bad career = career over
Come on, dude, I said he was a bust before he played like "dogshit". Huge chance the Dogs delist him this year.
Does the North game not mean anything though? That showed what he's capable of when not relied on as the main target.

I expect him to be moved on this year, but he wouldn't be delisted. There's a number of clubs who would trade for him (Essendon, Collingwood, Geelong), and despite his flaws he's good enough to continue his career elsewhere. Just with Bruce, Naughton and soon Ugle-Hagan, there's not much room for him with us.

Can argue he's a "bust" as a number 2 pick, but I disagree that he's an overall bust as a player

He's a bust. Thank you.

my original point still stands and if you can’t comprehend that you are not worth the bandwidth spent replying to.

You paid the equivalent of say pick 30 odd...it’s not as if you paid through the roof. The one mistake the Dogs and for that matter Brisbane did is expected him to be the main target. As a second or third tall he’s more than fine. He did fine when in that role
 
I think Essendon miss read their list when they went after Shiel, and as a result have a list that's best possible result would be winning a final, not quite good enough to compete for top 4 finishes and be lost in no man's land as a mid tier club

If Dons didn't trade for Shiel

They would have had
-the cap space to get Martin
-either Caldwell, Butters or Duursma in 2018 draft.
-weighmann in 2019 draft
