He was belittled by an opponent on the field in a moment that has divided the AFL. Now Dylan Shiel has had his say. 9WWOS

Essendon midfielder Dylan Shiel has broken his silence on the taunt directed at him by Sydney co-captain Luke Parker.

Bombers captain Dyson Heppell defended Shiel on Fox Footy, saying it would have been stupid to hit back and risk conceding a 50-metre penalty, before Shiel had his say on Tuesday. "At the time it didn't seem like a big deal and moved on pretty quickly and probably just more disappointed in the outcome of the game," Shiel told 9News as he arrived at Bombers HQ.Despite its busy work at the trade table and attainment of three top-10 picks in the 2020 AFL draft, Essendon is again slumping to a dismal season.
