Shadow had quite a few injury issues but hung in there and gained a contract extension and debuted this year.

He would need improvement to be best 22 but still young and has good AFL traits. That defense 7 is hard to get into.

Maybe a change of position but he likely finds himself in the same selection issue as our depth looks good except CHF.

With Fort hanging around for years as backup ruck Shadow and others will see that you can still win a spot at the pointy end of the season.

Shadow was one of 4 debutants in a premiership team. Only Morris played finials and the GF.

Morris - 19 games

Reville - 12

Brain - 9

H. Smith - 4

Total - 44 games

How did the Lions compare to the 3 other PF teams. Debut games played in brackets.

Swans 2: Mitchell (2) Cleary (2). Total 2 games

Cats 3: Mannah (12) Humphries (11) O'Sullivan (1). Total 24 games

Port 2: Evans (13) Lorenz (2). Total 15 games.
