Dylan Shiel has spent most of 2021 on the sidelines with injury, playing just his seventh game today with a severely limited output. His best game is only a low-end A grader at best, lacking an ability to consistently push beyond 25 disposals to 30, and missing the hallmarks of outside game on the spread to add marks and goals. He is nonetheless best 22 for Essendon and once he is back up and running, might lift his rating to match Darcy Parish who has blossomed in his absence. He looms as a big stepping stone candidate for next year's salary cap fantasy, especially in Supercoach.
