Dylan Shiel

[The Chazz 4,077]

See Carlton have traded their State League compensation picket Geelong.  Means Geelong can pick up some 19yo kid from SA (has played 1 season of senior footy in the SANFL), and they (Carlton) are getting a pick in the National Draft in return.

I didn't read much about the compensation picks they and the Gold Coast got, and the conditions of those picks, but I'm sure Gil's intentions wouldn't have been for them to trade in to the National Draft with.

What's a bet this bloke turns out to be a star for Geelong, and Carlton manage to fluck up their ND pick?!  (That said, the AFL website was talking about the possibility of the pick being involved in the McGovern deal).

I bet they didn't expect this: 

"...the AFL moved this week to advise Carlton that the cost of the charter flight to fly Dylan Shiel to Noosa had to be included in the soft cap or football department spend...even if it was a donation".

Ha!Ha! Small pennies but it is good to see the AFL take some action.

I wonder if Judy still holds his 'environmental ambassador' role for VISY?  Could be a vacancy open for Shiel should he arrive?

Wasn’t Shiel flown there in a private jet as well? The whole thing is just so greasy...

So greasy, so Carlton .

Hopefully they don’t use Carlton’s self valuation of the said charter flight ??!! Would the AFL have a barcode re jet charters to go by ?

Is Mathieson still on their board?

[Jaded No More 68,915]

All the money in the world. Still can’t buy a win. 

[CBDees 3,167]

Mathieson was there because he is a long-time, deep-pocketed Carlton tragic (who gifted them the majority of their poker machines)!

I suspect that nothing happens without the approval of the Godfather.

True, got me there.

However I’m quite bullish about Carlton’s list build. I expect them to go past at least half a dozen sides over the next 24 months. You can rise up pretty quickly with astute drafting/trading. Case in point - us!

Agree

[Ethan Tremblay 30,861]

Carlton’s list build has been woeful. 

[Adam The God 30,259]

I reckon under the right coach their spine has great potential, but their midfield is still bog ordinary aside from Cripps and Curnow. Dow might be okay but with SOS' record could well be a bust too.

Rorting the salary cap for Carlscum is part of their DNA, isn't it?

Was a story last week, teams can do this but the money has to come out of the clubs soft cap.

Soft not salary

Blues received pick 42... deal makes no sense to me. Why would you not want to pick up a mature player that can be a bridge for a couple of years to allow the young players to grow.

Pick 42 (on its own, not part of greater deal) is a massive cr ap shoot.

Add Walsh and Shiel and natural progression of Dow, maybe a couple of big bodied mature journeymen to support Cripps and their midfield looks dramatically different inside 24 months.

I agree on their spine. Looking good.

What an insanely stupid trade from Carlton. Morons. Completely defeating the entire purpose of what that pick is meant to serve. 

[Demons rising 52]

Essendon mate sent a quote which said he was going to dons ?? Have not had any corroboration 

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Would love for us or another club to make a decent bid for the next Silvagni son this year. Force their hand so as to not get him cheaply

It was meant to be traded.

It's kind of the Clayton's second round pick. The priority given to the recipient clubs did not upset the other clubs with their various draft picks including for that matter the MFC.
