Midfielder Dylan Shiel has become the latest GIANT to speak with award-winning journalist Emma Quayle as part of her podcast series The Originals.
Speaking openly and honestly, Shiel retells what it was like to have joined the GIANTS as a 17-year-old preselection in the club's NEAFL year of 2011.
He details what it was like to miss the draft and to have been one what he calls 'The Original Originals' alongside the likes of Jeremy Cameron, Nathan Wilson, and Adam Treloar.
Shiel recounts training on Baseball diamonds in Blacktown and having to pause his gym sessions for the national anthem when the club was based out of the Rooty Hill RSL.
The highlight of the podcast is Shiel's story of how he met and fell in love with Georgie Williams, the daughter of GIANTS assistant coach Mark Williams and how the firey coach reacted to their relationship.
The Originals: Dylan Shiel, is the eight-episode in a series of interviews with ten of the GIANTS' inaugural squad members by award-winning journalist Emma Quayle.
