Luke Shuey has no intention of returning to Vic and absolutely zilch intention of

playing for Melbourne.

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.

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

    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
