Dylan Shiels

Pick 2

Forgot the name of the GWS youngster I'm impressed with but him as well

Trade for pick 9 - Watts

c'mon roost it, they're not gonna give up Dylan Shiel for wattsy. Shiel's a beauty. wattsy is handy.

[Guest]

Shiel would be fantastic, i think we will get some very good offers for Jack watts if we decide we should move him on,

I find it hard to see where he fits into our next premiership side, dylan shiel i don't have the same problem with.

Went to school with Shiel, he's about as arrogant as they come, but a bloody good footballer though.

Personally I think we'd have next to 0% chance signing him, as i believe he is just about the Giants' highest priority

Yeah sadly i agree with you, but they have plenty of good young mids, Anthony miles is one i used to play football against and he seems to have fallen out of favour with them abit, i wonder if he would be worth a try, probably wouldn't cost a heap to get him

[rolly 149]

dal santo? seems on the outer at st kilda.

29 is towards the end but would be a walk up start

maybe 3 years $1.8mil

For that coin, we could entice a younger player from GWS or GC.

Anthony Miles is a good one, I was thinking that the other day. He seems to get pushed out due to the number of high quality mids GWS has and from what I've seen is a pretty decent player may be interested in getting more game time ala Josh Kennedy at the Hawks.

[Scipio 5,868]

Lets offer that kid Tom Scully from GWS 1.1 million a season.

He was very highly rated as a junior, would get a decent run with us and wouldn't cost a huge amount to lure down, he is from Albury wodonga in north east victoria so melbourne would be closer to home than sydney.

I would be offering Matthew Stokes a big contract, the guys averaging 26 disposals per game, hes 28 and wont turn 30 until the 2015 preseason begins so he has a lot of footy left

Doubt he would leave Geelong but we could offer them a lot more then they could

Ball magnets with great skills a lot of Grand Final experience dont grow on trees

[Yossarian 1,808]

I reckon go after Lenny Hayes, telling him he can move straight into a coaching role with the club after he retires.

I have made bold the players i think we should consider, the older ones could come in and play the sorta roles we recruited byrnes and co for like Hayes and Chapman, but both from great clubs would help with the culture shift.

[Dr. Mubutu 694]

Corey Enright. That is all.

[Sleeve 67]

I know Cooney had knee issues over the previous 2 seasons and went to Germany for some specialised blood and growth cell treatment to assist his knee and from his performances this year, I'd say its having some form of positive influence.

So, is it worthwhile investigating getting Cooney into our midfield, a former Brownlow medalist and a player who is having a very consistent season, along with some standout performances.

My initial feeling is, if he were considering leaving, he'd be looking at heading to a side capable of winning a flag but, would he be worth a nice up front deal while we've got room to move?

[jazza 1,323]

MAYBE NO

PROBABLY NO

DEFINATELY NO

IM SAYING NO

[angrydee 842]

In the last few weeks he's been significantly worse than earlier this season.

Too risky.

[Scipio 5,868]

He still shows flashes of brilliance but that knee has virtually crippled him. He can barely runs so wouldn't add a whole lot and he'll be definitely going down hill from here.

[Ted Lasso 17,134]

would much rather cross and dal santo

[pitmaster 3,112]

Absolutely not. His knee has a degenerative condition so whatever weird stuff he had done in Europe was only to slow his demise.

He is a pale reflection of his best and he will never be again what he once was, which is a tragedy for him and the Dogs, but it does not have to become our tragedy too, thanks very much.

[rjay 24,051]

Unfortunately the injury has all but finished his career. Pity, at his best he was explosive.

[Swampfox 190]

No more Kelvin Templetons please

[mjt 640]

No more Kelvin Templetons please

You are just looking for someone to bite with that remark.

Cooney will go to a team with a chance of winning if he leaves at all.

[mjt 640]

The guys on a front loaded contract for the first 2 seasons, thats worth about 2 million, he had 6 injury riddled seasons at Brisbane, your a smart guy do the Math,i think its a fair call , the guys a bust and a waist of 3 million.

[praha 10,369]

The guy's a shadow. No.
