Hope we're one of the first in line. Gun. Outside pace, breakaway pace from the stoppages and ball magnet. Would compliment our midfield beautifully.

    If Hogan goes we need to chase him, Whitfield or Kelly and throw some more $ at Gaff.

    Yup. We need to turn the Hogan pick or picks into a ready made star.

    Yep, the time is now. We are entering our window, time to bring in ready made quality to join our list. The time is now

    I'll be shot down for this, but I don't rate him as highly as others.  Has good pace and is a good accumulator, but he isn't a real good user of the footy and, to me, isn't the best at running both ways.

    Carlton, Essendon, Saints, Hawks etc will be front of the queue.  I haven't seen us mentioned at all when his name comes up.  That doesn't mean we won't have a crack, but I'd say that if he's asking for over a million a season that it might put us out of the running from the start.

    If Hogan goes, THEN ITS ALL IN FOR SHIEL

    If Freo give Hogan $1mil a year for 5 years, then Shiel is worth the same. Shiel would walk into us as the best (or equal best player with Maxy and Clarry) 

    whatever we get for Hogan  (say Freo 1st pick 2018 and future 1st pick 2019)  we give to GWS for Shiel

    its operation Shiel if Hogan goes

    Agree with you Wise. Whitfield is the one I would like. Unlikely though

    He isn’t worth 1.2, but he still is a bloody good player

    He can’t kick and doesn’t do the defensive stuff. He looks flashy when he runs through the middle but he doesn’t do the hard stuff we value so he won’t be coming to us

    He's asking for mega dollars and to ask for that coin you need to be a top 10-20 player in the Comp to justify your wage. We are better off chasing better value elsewhere or paying for real quality. Gaff at 900k might be worth it for example.

    Agree with all of those posters above.  I won't quote you all!

    Clubs like Carlton, Essendon and St. Kilda will happily overpay for him as he is a good midfielder who they believe will put them over the top.  Will he?  Maybe, maybe not.  But I don't think he is a gun of the competition who is worth over a million a season.  Lesser clubs will still pay that because they are desperate to add someone of his talent, but we don't need to do that.

    Kelly and Whitfield are the ones, I agree Shiel is overrated, he butchered the ball this year, especially in front of goal. Let him milk other clubs salary caps

    wants $1.2m a year for five years

    overrated at that price

    For that cash it sounds like he is off to one of - Saints, Blues or Norf

  • Quote

    We need to service our needs like we did in the Lever trade, needed a intecept defensive player so we went out and got one.

    I'd take Kelly over Whitfield but both the type of player we need, that would be a cherry on top type outcome.

    Shiel wouldn't be servicing an immediate need like Lever, just stockpiling a need we already have.

    For an apparent gun he certainly butchers it a lot whenever I see him. Not saying he’s not but we need an elite user.

    Gone to Hawks or Carl I feel anyway, Haw if he wants success, Carl if he wants what they're offering him.

    Wonder if we are interested in Zac Williams?

    Did anybody who says he's  a gun actually look closely at him at all?

    Gee for the price he is asking no thank you, his an alright player but not great player.

    Is Kelly up for trade this year?

     

  • Quote

    Not sure why this guy isn’t generating more discussion? Word is we are into Shiel up to our ears and will be right up the front of the bus for his signature if the right cards fall our way (especially if Hogan goes).

    Exactly what we need. Blistering outside run and link up midfielder with good skills and a bit of healthy arrogance to boot. 

    Would love to see him in red and blue.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
