Dylan Shiel started out his Essendon career after transferring from the Giants in the off season at personal best pace, posting fantasy tons in six of his first ten games before the bye. A hamstring injury in round 10 and then a knee knock upon his return in round 13 slowed him down in the second half of the season, with two tons in his last eight. His stat line has barely changed at all between his two clubs, save for a lift in marks from three to five per game, implying a bit of a slower game plan and a willingness to spread a tad more. He is what the Bombers paid for him, largely.
