Shenton wins Sandy B&F

Post: # 1642783Post felix »

You would think he is in line for more seniors games next year. Does anyone think he still has a future with the Saints. Must have had a ripper season .kicked a few in the process.

Always liked the look of Shenton,fill a roll forward or back.But if he couldnt crack it for a game this year,hard to see it happening next year.Seems he put in the hard yards to get best out of himself,good luck to him

Great VFL player, very ordinary AFL player.

Should be delisted!

Raised as a forward, picked as a defender, best as a forward.

I like him. I can see him playing the role that Nathan wright played for us this year, but he could do so with a bit more nouse. Reads the play well and leads really well. I think he would make a dynamic addition to our forward line plus have the ability to play back in the case Of an emergency. I hope he at least gets one more crack at it next season.

He is a great VFL player, very average AFL player, has zero tank

He's one player I wrote off very quickly and have been surprised he's persevered as long as he has...

He has talent but at AFL level just seems a bit prone to... fumble or make errors that kill play

The kid has def put in his best VFL season to date and to be honest was better than i thought he'd be capable of

Will be interesting to see if he gets a chance... potentially he and Lee may be fighting for the same spot... marking swing player

Agree. I just hope if he is delisted that Sandy signs him up
