I'll admit, i was a pretty big fan of Shiel's. But for the price GWS would command in a trade, he simply isn't worth it.

Extremely overrated for his output as a Giant so far.

Would rather use that pick on drafting Brayshaw to be honest.

Then again, GWS will be eager to further spread the age profile of its list, preferably with "elite" talent, and that means early picks.

Dangle a top 6 pick infront of them and it'll be fairly enticing.

Not only do they need to do it for salary cap management reasons, but it's a lot easier sending an 18 year old kid to the 2s to develop for the next 2 years, than trying to sell it to Tomlinson, Shiel, O'Rourke or Plowman, when they've already done it for a couple of years and are now getting overtures from every single Victorian club trying to lure them home.

I just hope other clubs keep their head in the sand and their picks to themselves, letting us reap the spoils.

I've heard DS wants out of GWS - wont name sources but he's keen to come back to Vic...

Probs no real new news but I don't expect him to be in Sydney for much longer (ie end of 2014) - take from that what you will

Has he spoken to any Victorian clubs.

He was really keen to come to us last year because we had a great deal on the table for him but gws had the contract over him, we might have left the offer on the table.

I doubt he personally has at this point as it's against the rules during the season. Although if the rumour is true (thanks for sharing UH btw) it's likely his management has.

A bloke involved at hawthorn said they inquired and were told we had offered an attractive 4 year deal and he was very interested but GWS weren't happy with it, they felt they would lose Tyson at some stage anyway and I actually think we got the better of the two players anyway.

different player, more advanced, in years, experience.

I don't know any specifics about his contract, all I know is he dosen't want to play at GWS and will assess his options

I assume his manager will make enquires but you'd assume they'll evaluate options in September/October - you'd also assume he'd be keen to go to the bigger clubs but you never know these days!

Richmond offered a decent contract last year. They'll be willing to part with pick 8 and someone like Vickery for Shiel and pick 30. Be surprised if he's not in yellow & black.

Don't know who would want Vickery but don't think GWS need another tall forward anyway even if they loose Cameron. What else have the Tiges got.

But what makes you think GWS want Vickery?

Or that another club won't better that poor offer?

If you're talking Tyson and Shiel they are both around the same age, Tyson 3 months younger.

I think Shiel would rather play with the rising MFC under Roos and with his mate Dom Tyson

Richmond are going nowhere and Hardwick is average at best

Vickers is a soft dud who plays a reasonable game every now and then, usually when the tiges are well on top.

Wouldn't have him if he was free and gift wrapped.

Who did Dom live with back in Sydney? Might help us work out who he was closest to at the club.

If Shiel was interested in us after LAST year, you'd think he'd be even more interested now. Things must be toxic at that club. Imagine growing up wanting to play AFL, then end up performing in front of 5000 person crowds for half your playing life.

Any chance your source was Mark Allan on SEN. Or is it a coincidence you posted this about 2 minutes after he said exactly the same on air?

They all lived together at the Breakfast Point complex, and I think maybe Tyson then lived with Coniglio, as they are reportedly best mates.s

Vague memory is all I have on this subject.

Bingo. You are spot on. I heard that too at that time. Better to state your references - particularly if you heard it on SEN. Mark Allan said it on the hour just prior to the 5pm news.

Is he really, I thought they were drafts apart. I've underestimated how young Tyson is for his footy.

I see Shiel was taken in the GWS 17Yr old selections.

Shiel is dating Mark Williams daughter so dont be surprised if the tigers make a big play for him.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
