Isn't repeat sprints what everybody always did immediately after playing a game of footy?
Times sure have changed. :beer
If he does play, he simply needs to use his many attributes and do the basics.
I felt earlier in the year in his AFL games, he was trying too hard to take mark of the year anytime he went near a marking contest. He's lightning quick and has great skills, so use those to advantage by getting to and being around the contest.
The move into the midfield at VFL level seems to have helped him quite a bit in being consistently involved in the play. Just needs to bring that to AFL level. Regardless of whether he wants to leave next year or not, it's time to play him now. If he takes this opportunity, who knows what might happen.

Yeah dunno why the club would pass up the opportunity to pick the best available for the side, pump up any possible trade value, and reward strong VFL form with senior experience for a 19 year old just because he may want to leave.
He's showing an ability to run out games that didn't exist before The VFL GF was a good example, albeit 9 months ago.
I just hope he drops the schoolyard footy. Flying for speckies is one thing, but one of our hallmarks is to scramble the ball forward quickly and if he tries to dance around too many tackles he'll hold back the midget tsunami rushing past him.

Butler out is disappointing as he is part of the great chemistry in our forward mix but to say I am excited for Shai to have another crack is an understatement.
Hopefully he has learnt from not taking his Rioli chance, I think he thought it was a fait accompli that the spot was his, realizing that he needs to work for it should help.
Be interesting to see if his asked to take over Butlers role or will he play up the ground more like he has been in the vfl
