Word is we are into Shiel up to our ears

Source? Agree he would be a great pick up but have yet to hear about us being involved to any meaningful degree. Hawks, Carlton and to a lesser extent Saints and Essendon is the read I’ve gotten so far.

    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.

    'a bit' of arrogance?!... geez. he comes across as a real [censored] to me! don't want to see him in red & blue.. much rather kelly.

    Firstly, there has been no link to us from any media.

    Secondly, he is looking for a 7 year contract on big money. I don't think anyone who watches him regularly would be able to justify that. He is a nice player with all the traits you look for in a player but the sum of all his parts doesn't seem to equate to the performance he puts out there on a weekly basis.

    Can’t name source but it’s not really groundbreaking news. We are one of three of four clubs vying for his signature. Hawks, Bombers and Demons front runners. Blues and Saints not much of a chance. Like most 25yos he’s looking for a legit shot at success. We see him as an excellent fit to complement our inside mid brigade. Stay tuned.

    I LOVE when the trade season trolls come here with their stories.

    Keep posting mate. Good entertainment value.

    Can’t name. Realise that’s an unsatisfactory answer but as I said is it really a surprise we’d have a crack at him? 

    With Vince retired, Lewis to follow and Chunk looking not far off joining them a midfielder of Shiel’s calibre and age suits our profile perfectly.

    It’s premiership window time and we are finally getting fair dinkum.

    This is what concerns me the most. 

    Vince is gone and Lewis and Jones are teetering on the edge of being any further value to the push towards a premiership.  

    Shiel is worth enquiring about but It has me hardly raising a chubby to be fair.

    I’m not convinced with him. 

    Doesnt get any attention and still doesn’t do enough for mine.

    I agree with a few others with his disposal being average.

    In his view is this play:

    a) a "We Went and Tried to Go and Get Gaff But No Dice so Shiel is our contingency" or

    b) "We rate Shiel > Gaff " (for whatever reason) or

    c) Is this a "We will get Shiel and Gaff" type arrangement

     

    Excellent ani gif riposte though.

    Not my first choice but I am surprised that we haven't at least been linked with him. 

    No fuss.

    Jeezus. Saints are desperate I suppose. 

    Sun said yesterday that the Hawks are still the front runners even though they are offering considerably less money than the Saints.

    What picks do the Hawks have to offer? IMO none that are high enough to do the deal.

    Not that we would, but we could offer 6 (if Hogan leaves) and 2019 1st rounder (if AFL approves). Can the Hawks beat that?

    $1.3M a year.... very very serious money

    One wonders if some clubs are offering big money so the player becomes their advocate. No way will Hawthorn match that salary wise so the question of draft picks they can offer becomes moot.

    The player is always the advocate.

    When was the last time, a player was forced by his club,  to go to a club he didn't want to?

    Sorry Dodoro. He wants to go to a power club like Hawks or Dees. 

    I don't think we've got any interest in Shiel.  The report states that he's met with four clubs, three of which are in the running after ruling out the Bombers.  With our interest in May and KK, I don't think we can afford to add Shiel as well.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
