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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
