Dylan Shiel



Recommended Posts

Absolutely we should trade pick 2 for Shiels. This bloke considered a top 3 pick before he was initially pre picked for the Giants. Killed us the first time this year with his gut running and speed. Highly regarded for his leadership too.

I'm a big Dylan Shiel fan.

Dylan SHiel is the kind of player that other players want to go into battle with him by their side

He is a warrior and a born leader

I am not sure Aish will be that type oif player

If we can get Shiel for pick 2 i will do cartwheels

Why on earth would gws give up a young gun that's shown alot of promise at the highest level for an unknown. I love the trade whispers as much as the next but cant see GWS playing that game

Because we have most likely offered Shiel a massive contact aided by the lure of playing under Paul Roos, and we can compentae GWS failry with pick 2

If Shiel wants to play for us, he will

You would assume "talks starting" really means we've been talking to Shiel's management for some time and we've offered him a pretty attractive contract and now it's a matter of whether GWS is prepared to let a contracted player leave.

Yep. It appears that we've been chatting and that he's coming back to Melbourne either now or at the end of his contract.

It's just a matter of whether or not GWS want to trade now or later. We just have to make a fair offer.

As I posted a couple of days ago, the only way I can see us getting real star power for our pick 2 is by going to GWS or GC. Shiel would exceed my expectations. So many times trade week raises expectations and then disappoints. Let's hope this is the exception. With Roos/Jackson there's a definite belief that whilst unlikely, scenarios like Shiel to Melbourne are indeed possible. It's exactly what we need. If it comes down to pure money, he should be ours.

Went to high school with Dyl before he defected to Caulfield Grammar.. From when he was a junior, you could always tell he was destined for big things in footy - one of those likely types. Has always had a great build too. He's quick, strong, and skillful (with a hint of arrogance too :) ).

It would exceed mine too.

I think that it would be money, but I think pick 2 is the chip that no other team can match. Shiel will know that if he nominates us then the deal can be done, which can't be said of most clubs. But clearly Dylan will become a very rich man if he comes to us.

Yep we're the only team in Victoria with the cash/pick combo to lure an interstate player home. I can't believe the Longer situation. Pick 7 a couple of years ago. Decides he's homesick, nominates the reigning premier as his preferred club (with the last first round pick) and is still contracted until the end of next year. Hawthorn then have the gall to suggest that they'd like Longer but don't want to use their first round draft pick. At least in the Shiel situation we'll be able to provide adequate compensation to GWS.

Not this year if they don't want him to. Shiel is under contract remember?

For him to break that to come to us would cost him a lot.

How about this for a deal: Shiel for 2 clean.

GWS can not do a deal with Adams' selected club.

PSD2.

Now that would be very handy.

Devious genius. I love it.

Would have to stay quiet so Adams never knew.

And it'd take a certain element of trust from us in GWS unless the trade went through at the absolute last minute, and even then we'd have to trust they wouldn't keep Adams themselves.

Fortunately, I think we have built a trading relationship with GWS over the Hogan/Viney/Barry deal last season.

Agreed - I guess if you put yourself in the oppositions shoes - Why would you give up a future midfield star of 21-24 who has shown a lot and is just on the verge of greatness for a pick 2 potential midfield star (Aish). It would be different if it was pick 1 (Boyd).

We need to identify the players we want and get under their skin - big contracts is really the only way I think and maybe advertise the whole living in Melb/team on the rise. We need to get the player(s) to make us our preferred destination and be begging for a trade and then we talk to their club (that's going to be tough).

We have to try and take advantage of this whole home sick saga.

I am 20 years old and have been a member for just as many years, although my puppies are just 3 months old!

Sorry mate it was an attempt at humour after a few beers, your pups will be a welcome addition as are you to demonland. I too would be more than happy with Sheil and Jones.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
