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: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
