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.

    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.

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

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
