Not sure how injured he is but went missing last night.

Our midfield doesn't bat deep enough to have guys on his money and talent play so poorly.

Excellent footballer but we're not sure which Shai will play week to week.
And that decision to snap from 40m when Lynch was alone in the square - Shai saw him - was extremely selfish in the 3rd quarter. We were 7 points up at that stage and had a bit of momentum. It was a selfish choice, not the first time for Shai.

He's an amazing talent, will be very happy to have dusty back to relive a bit of pressure he must be feeling.

I hope Shai's not injured. He's so good to watch.

What we do know is that goal kicking midfielders are rare as hen's teeth & worth their weight in gold.

What we don't yet know is whether Shai's is a midfielder who kicks goals occasionally or whether he's a small forward who kicks bags & plays midfield occasionally. Ideally we'd have 2 of him.

My sense is he's more valuable to us playing more time on ball but we've got to find a way to replace his scoring output up front.
Georgie, Aarts & Parker aren't the answer. Enter Stack, Rioli or Clarke...

The million dollar question. I'm a massive fan but I'm beginning to think it's the latter.

An extraordinarily effort. Loved it.
More, much more to come.
He is the second best player on our list and should be paid accordingly.
A first priority is to sign him up.
