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 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
