Leads Hawks in disposals in loss
Shields matched 27 disposals with eight clearances, seven marks, six tackles and a single goal assist Saturday as Hawthorn fell to Gold Coast 113-76 at SCG.
ANALYSIS
Team-highs for kicks (19) and disposals paired with Shiels' best clearance and mark totals of the season to hand the 30 year-old his second 100+ fantasy point performance in as many weeks and third in four showings. He exits Round 11 currently ranked No. 65 for fantasy points per game (91.6) among AFL midfielders, but now the Hawks' No. 3 in total scoring (916 points) on the year.

Available against Suns
Shiels (general soreness) made the team sheet for Round 11 against Gold Coast.
ANALYSIS
Shiels had missed Round 10 due to soreness but only needed one week to recover his stride. Since he's only been named as an interchange, it may be wise to look elsewhere, though he has scored over 100 fantasy points in two of his last three appearances.

Scores in loss
Shiels scored one goal to go with 24 disposals (19 kicks, five handballs) and made nine tackles during Saturday's 60-53 loss to Sydney.
ANALYSIS
Shiels has an interesting trend that's developed all season: he's collected at least 20 disposals in every other match since Round 3. There's also no suggesting that quality of opponent brings out the best in Shiels, apart from his consistency to play well on alternating weeks.
