I have no more reason to believe your version of events as opposed to those that are more positive, but I think this will be pretty close to the mark.

Naysayers stuck in the pre-Roos era.

I know for a fact that at least two clubs are very interested in pick 2. I know that Shuey is viewed as a definite possibility. I know that west coast now with a coach will entertain the idea.

it was the same naysayers that said there was no chance we'd get Roos. We have and we have already grown in stature as a consequence.

we are win win. We get a good trade we do ok. But few trades ultimately come through and then we just pick up Aish or Kelly.

I'll pm you.

You have been really pushing the Shuey thing Smithy! There is going to be know hiding if it doesnt happen now! Haha

I really hope it does though! I rate Shuey very highly.

 

Why does it hurt?

And poor analogy with Freo - Shuey is a proven player and a high level one at that. You've got to give a bit to get a bit.

I just don't rate either of them (Shuey or Gaff) as worthy of pick 2, so if I'm going to part with it, I'd rather add more to the deal and get both.

You're right, the Ridley comparison is spurious, but I think Aish will be a star that eclipses both Shuey and Gaff, so to pass up a player like him, I'd want to get 2 good mature players.

Luke Shuey's Manager interviewed on SEN earlier this morning categorically stated that Shuey was contracted at the Eagles for the next two years, and wasn't going anywhere but staying at the Eagles.

Tim Gossage and Glen McFarlane need their collective heads read.

You can rule him out based on his managers statement.

Yes. He included that he's just bought a house over there and his Mother has moved over. He aint going anywhere I'm afraid.

Next...

I've been told the club view him as one of their most likely prospects out of the midfielders they have been looking at. Or at least that was what I heard. Whether that translates to him wanting to come and wc being willing to trade him is a different kettle of fish.

dude I heard it from has got some good stuff right but some stuff wrong as well.

I heard the SEN interview. Not sure what to make of it. Time will tell.

PM me too pls nsc

A mutual friend who works at ESP, it was no real

secret. I asked if it was foxing for extra $$$'s. He

said definitely not.

He also said Geelong is the most desired destination

for another target we're after but it's a case of getting

it done.

I asked if several official offers are put to a client including

from Melbourne, he cut me off and said , if it's a player seeking

more game time , it's likely they'll steer them toward that offer,

if it's an established player they'll steer them toward the successful

team.

He said Melbourne us undesirable as a club , the brand damage

and poor culture has meant young players and established players

looking for success are not evening considering advances from us.

He doesn't see us landing an established midfielder we've been

making noise about. He thinks we'll be taking pick 2 to the

Draft

I believe Taylor Adams wants to go to Geelong.

the players we are after are probably all pretty comfortable at their own clubs. My mail was Shuey was considered the most likely to move. If hd is out id expect we will go to the draft with pick 2.

Thanks for the info Sleeve

No real surprises there as to what Player managers would be recommending. Our biggest hurlde luring a player will be getting them to want to play for the MFC.

I still hold some hope we can land a couple established mids but I see us going to the draft with 2 as well. Hopefully Roos & co can pull a surprise or 2!

pretty sure we will survive

 

I think west coast would accept a straight swap - Blease for Shuey.

Wc would be the winners as Blease was 1 pick higher than Shuey in the 08 draft.

That's funny.

We should have offered Lucas Cook when we still had him, to Freo for Fyffe. That would have been an even better deal for Freo, as Cook was a pick 12 and Fyffe was a pick 24.

.. meaning Cook was twice as good

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
