Disagree. Have you ever considered the fact that people bag Shenton because they don't think he is up to it and will not be a part of our next tilt. It is not because they are trolls or they enjoy being negative it is just they do not rate him.
I've seen all his AFL matches and about 15-20 times in the VFL and my opinion of him has not changed. A fine VFL footballer not quite up to it at AFL level. Has a bit of dash, provides some pace, but does not judge the ball very well in flight, turns it over and makes to many bad decisions for a defender.
He's just warming the bench for someone better.
Agree. On a good day when he has a suitable matchup (someone younger and smaller than him) and there is little pressure in the game, Shenton can be effective. But put him on a quality opponent against a team that applies pressure and he is exposed. He was on Swan whenever he went forward against Collingwood and was absolutely destroyed. He times his spoils well but has poor decision making and skills under pressure. He reminds me of a less talented Raph Clarke (and I wasn't a Raph hater - he did a lot of good work but his customary 2-3 clangers were just too costly). I'd much rather see any of Webster, Acres, McKenzie or Murdoch in Shenton's spot.
