Adam The God 30,730 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 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. 1 Quote
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 If Hogan goes we need to chase him, Whitfield or Kelly and throw some more $ at Gaff. 3 Quote
Diamond_Jim 12,772 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Definitely worth a chat if we don't think their whales are available Quote

Dee1987 277 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Would Love this guy on our List any chance of Sheil, May and Pruess all in red and blue next year?? 2 Quote
whatwhat say what 23,855 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 wants $1.2m a year for five years overrated at that price Quote
Wiseblood 24,637 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 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. 7 Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 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 1 Quote

Whitfield is the one I would like. Unlikely though 1 Quote

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 3 Quote

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. Quote
Wiseblood 24,637 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 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. 1 Quote
SFebes 4,884 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 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 2 1 Quote
Cheap Seats 3,310 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 53 minutes ago, whatwhatsaywhat said: 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
YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,823 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 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. 3 Quote
layzie 34,528 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 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. 3 Quote
SFebes 4,884 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Gone to Hawks or Carl I feel anyway, Haw if he wants success, Carl if he wants what they're offering him. Quote
Clintosaurus 7,953 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Wonder if we are interested in Zac Williams? Quote
ucanchoose 1,816 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Did anybody who says he's a gun actually look closely at him at all? Quote
deebug 1,754 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 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
Matsuo Basho 1,053 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 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. 4 Quote
