He does stuff that nobody else can do. That side step and evasiveness in heavy traffic and the cleaness under contested pressure. Amazing.
So good above his head for his size ….and even better below his knees. One touch player below his knees, and at speed to boot too.

Just watched it on replay. He kicks the ball on outside of his boot as he saw the gap between 2 Swans players. Might have been a loose ball attempt for Mozza to pick up, but Graham looked in position ready to pounce. Good to see this ball moving our way when we need it to.
Its a long shot, but Id like to think that hack into space for the winner was deliberate. Brilliant second half.
Unbelievable game. He was the difference.
Some of those taps in the second half, where he takes a hit, and still got the ball to our advantage without registering a stat were immense.
He's playing very unselfish footy. GUN

As a critic we could ask why he goes missing for periods of games considering he’s a midfielder, however as a fan we got to love how he goes along way to winning us games in a quarter of scintillating footy .
Love his basic improvement this season , yes could probably run defensively a bit more , however that takes away from his attacking prowess and with Timmy T, The Hop and the Meatball 2 way runners , he and Dustin ad anew attacking combo.
He may never be an elite kick and will probably miss goals he should kick , however the package is a much much better product now , so crucial to our future , luckily we have him signed until he’ll have played 250 games

We never know what we will get from Shai from one minute to the next. Still, he is ours and can be a matchwinner so can't complain too much
Another great game by shai
His last goal was sublime
Replay it
Was already into his kicking motion somehow before collecting ball
Only 2 or 3 in the comp can do what he just did

Yeh, the speed that he palmed the ball and transferred it to the opposite side and kicked the goal - wow. Star.

I think I saw a stat a couple of weeks ago about his form on the road. It’s not great.
He kicks goals that shouldn’t be kicked and athletically is a different species to most other players.
If he could only kick more regulation set shot goals he could become a superstar.
I’m more confident of him kicking the goal when he has to dodge two players, spin and snap it whilst falling away on a 45 degree angle than when he’s 35 out straight in front.

Yeh, 2 goals 4, 20 odd possessions, No.1 for score involvements on the ground. Tough crowd.
