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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
