It's Essendon, cheating is in their DNA. They'll find a way to siphon money to him outside their cap. Just like their mysterious "legal settlements" to all the WADA convicted players who remained at the club. Payments which were never disclosed nor factored into the salary cap. Amazing that. 

[censored] cheats.

I don't see what all the fuss is about with Shiel, he's an average midfielder. Oliver, Viney & Brayshaw are all better than him and Harmes and Petracca could easily surpass him also.

Last season he averaged just over 24 touches a game at under 70% disposal efficiency. He was elite only in inside 50s, everything else he is average or below average.

Won't be the difference between a flag or no flag at the Bombers.

i'm sticking with my 'too small, too selfish, prone to turn it over' rating

(seeing as we were never in the conversation to get him; if we were, i'd adore him)

Agree with this. Maybe not too small, but definitely a turnover merchant.

Slight upgrade from Devon Smith, good player but not a gun IMO.

must say I have not rated them but with Daniher back they should challenge for the 8 but no more

Wasn’t even in the best 3 mids at the giants. 

Kelly, coniglio and ward all ahead of him and in my opinion a fully fit Scully is as well.

If they don’t win a final at a minimum their 2019 year is a failure 

GWS salary dump and they'll get less than he's worth. Salary dumps recently made legitimate by the AFL, must've known something was happening 


Even before this year, we'd won a final more recently than the Bombers.

Not too upset about Shiel. Turnover merchant and has a selfish attitude bred into him at that "team of champions" the Giants. 

Shiel is a jet you guys are kidding yourselves.Very good get by the Bombers. They will give the eight a shake next season.

So good that the Hawks missed on him. Sucked in poos and wees you’re on the steady decline.

Nobody takes a $1.8million dollar pay-cut willingly.

Nobody ever.

I smell a pack of rats.

Now the radio is saying that the Dylan Sheil trade to Essescum may not happen (as GWS are demanding two first round draft picks)!

But Scully for a 3rd rounder is fair.

Scully might be lucky to play consistent minutes again so his worth is diminished. Who knows how banged up his ankle is and if he will ever reach his peak form again. Shiel is worth a first and second rounder I'd say, good luck to the Giants in trying to swindle the Dons.

Would not put it past the AFL to be dropping confected B.S to spice up tonight's live t.v extravaganza.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
