Is there any universe where North wouldn't have taken Sheezel at 1 if the megatrade hadn't happened?
You can't compare Ginbey and Hewett to Sheezel, because it would have been Cadman or Wardlaw (or worse....Jhye Clark) at pick 2.
Sheezel would have been gone by pick 2.
I feel like people have pointed this out a few times previously.

I would assume they'd have taken Sheezel, even if Cadman would've been technically the better choice from a list management perspective.
We were never getting him anyway, IMO.

Find it hard to believe we left a tall on the table.

Or he could've come over, cracked the shits and played like a whiny spud in our dogshit of a reserves team and we get pick 15 for him.
Who knows? It's all hypothetical. I just like ragging on him for supposedly saying he wouldn't move states to pursue an absolute dream of a career.

Best sentence I've read in a very long time. Rolls off the tongue. Now I just need to find a way to drop it into general conversation.
FFS there was zero chance Sheezel would’ve declined to come over here.
As to whether he’d have stayed, who knows. Plenty of kids are homesick when they move interstate. There’s a significant Jewish community in WA.
Whether we’d have had the chance to draft him is more the question.
GWS traded up, because they basically said Sheezel and Wardlaw were off-limits.
There's also been enough chatter in various threads as to how close Sheezel is with his community.
It's not remotely the same thing as saying there's a Jewish community in Perth, so he'd have been fine.

Yeah for half a game, then they rolled over and took it up the date
Sounds like he shouldn't have decided to play in a national competition if his community was so important to him.

Except he got exactly what he wanted
I feel like everyone is beating around the bush here.
It feels like you all want to throw elbows at Sheezel's skull, just say it.

Guess he doesn't want a premiership then.
Freo are so over the top booing Harley . Fyfe was never boo'd . We just played Yeo on him and he became irrelevant every derby .
This is a really bad call. Hope you didn't put money on it.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Yes there are several bookies offering odds on this combination of occurrences

7?!
I notice that a lot of players incidentally end up flat on the grass after trying to tackle him . I lost count how many against Gold Coast . My daughter and I look at each other and laugh how many eat the turf after interacting with Harley . He seems to have such quick thinking he does what he needs to do and then oh yeah I'll sit this guy down while I'm at it . Like if you slo mo it's like an old Bruce Lee movie.
tbf the israelites took a lot longer than 15 years to get home from Egypt despite their best efforts
