I'd b. happy with if it was Jamar nt Fitzy.

You wouldn't do Fitsy picks 2, & 20 for Shiel, Adams and 10.

Seriously I don't understand how some people think on this site.

The above trade, whilst won't happen, would be massively in our favour.

Why would GWS want Fitzy. They have Patton, Cameron and possibly Boyd after November. Why would they want a Forward who can do small stints in the ruck? They need a ruckman, not another forward.

Gws just released a statement saying he's not going anywhere

Adams clearly doesn't want to play for Melbourne, and Shiel is still contracted. Let's try and be just a tad realistic.

You are asking for a bit much there. The Demonland trade/draft forum and realistic are two things that haven't gone together in years!

They won't give up pick 10.

We'd be bending to take it without 10, but we would.

I wouldn't be against 2,20 and Jamar for Shiel and Adams.

Pick 2, pick 20 and Sylvia

For

Shiel, Adams and Pick 10 might work though.

Wouldn't say no to giving up Pick 2 and 20 for Shiel and Pick 10

Think that is fair rate Shiel very highly and whilst we would miss out on a Aish or other highly rated kid if we manage to get Pick 10 somebody will slip to that pick. Shiel is heading in the right direction and is about to step to the next level when you would be pushing to get him for pick 2 on it's own.

I saw Swallow come through East Freo development squads and the kid has the tools to be an A grader and I would do similar to the above scenario for him if Suns are willing. He is like Shiel just about to step up to the next level.

If you do the trade and get Shiel plus one of the other mids such as Kelly, Sheed, Bontempelli, Freeman, Crouch or others who I believe will slide that is very good for the MFC as would Swallow plus one of them

2 & 20 for Shiel, Adams & Pick 10 is to much in our favour and can't see GWS taking that

I think that translates to he will not come cheap

If shiel came to us, GWS will want an experienced top line player for him.....Not a pick .....They need experienced players

So who would you trade out to get him????

Don't be myopic. If we give GWS pick 2, they then have picks 1 and 2 to go out to the market and seek that top-end talent.

From what I've seen of Shiel, he's borderline worth pick 2 on his own. Whether or not he is available remains to be seen, but if he is, then I want him.

Posted

I'm happy to be at odds with others, but imo Shiel is worth pick 2 by himself.

I'd do that deal. Tough young gun with two years under his belt.

Agree Kate, Shiel is rated as GWS' best midfielder. Statisically you'd say him and Treloar are their two best young mids.

If we could get a young gun, with the hardest 2 years development in arrears, I think you have to take it in a heart beat.

Posted

Only Nathan Jones and Terlich averaged more disposals per game than Shiel this year. Obviously GWS are saying he's off the market but lieing is the first language in the AFL.

Pick 2, pick 20 and Jamar

For

Shiel, Adams and pick 10

That's about a reasonable trade.

I'd consider adding Fitzy instead of Jamar to get the deal over the line, if need be.

I reckon we'd be laughing at that deal, M. Would love it to happen, but don't hold much hope for it.

Is Shiel the guy that has strong ties with us, I remember a while ago their were posts of I think his family being sponsors and supplying fruit to the club. Offer pick 2 for Sheil and Miles

Think you're thinking of Dion Prestia.

It's pure fantasy that we'd get him at all, but I know I was going over the top.

Nice to see thread reopened after my suggestion caused derision . Any way contracts can be mutually broken , see Heath Shaw. Offering pick 2 to gws for shiel would give them a chance to swap it for a mature age player and still have no 1 pick so pick 2 would be enough imho.

Posted

Afl website says Dylan shiel is open to a trade back home, but obviously GWS have said he's a required player.

Wouldn't completely give up hope of landing this kid in this years trade period just yet, but will be difficult as he is still contracted


Posted

Go hard at Shiel. 4 year offer at $400, 000 per year. Fair swap given Tom "valdemort" Scully. We giveup pick 2 for Shiel and Anthony Miles.

We should go for Miles regardless, we'd get him for a late pick

In his rising star video he says he lives with scully and they have their own cleaner/never cook :mad:

Still agree we should go hard but I think we do need a 22-25 year old mid B to A grade

I think you'll find that was Dion Prestia...

One thing ill say - draft picks aren't as appealing for GWS and GC as they are for other clubs.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
