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.

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.

Was it Essendon trying to trade for Josh Caddy a few years ago that ended up at arbitration and ended up falling through? It would be comedy gold if they couldn’t deliver on this either. But Adrian Dodo says they’re not hard to deal with.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
