Dylan Shiel

[dazzledavey36 55,360]

Before you all bite my head off im not one bit suggesting we chase him at all.

I heard Tom Browne (yes yes I know..)  mentioned that a prominent Melbourne club has shown interest in Dylan Shiel.

Only reason I bring him up was the Mark Williams connection. In a interview few weeks back Gawny jokingly asked Chocco what would it take to bring Shiel to the Dees and Choco smirked and said something along the line that he was tired up with his contract.

Wonder if it's us that's sounded out his management.

There is no way we would have the cap space and he is surplus to our needs 

[whatwhat say what 22,948]

he's on absurd money for the next three seasons and currently can't make the side who are mired in the bottom four

it's a no from me

We would have to offer Essendon our first round pick for them to take up a large portion of Shiels contract. Maybe even first and second. Shiel is on 800k a year. I don’t see Essendon taking up half of his contact for just a first rounder. I can’t see a real workable deal. Maybe throw in Tom McDonald if he finishes the year well, as Essendon do need a veteran forward to decoy for Wright. Even then, the only way I see Shiel to Dees is if Essendon are desperate to get rid of him, and no other clubs are interested in him. But, the interest in Shiel is practical, as he is what we need, and most definitely appears on the outer at Essendon.

Sheil would be a solid player in a good side. He is an excellent kick from stoppages 

But his contract is ridiculous so it would have to be completely rewritten for us to have any interest 

he is doing nothing at Essendrug, but he is not alone

[adonski 12,437]

Future third and Essendon pay half his wage, do it Deez

He’s an awful kick, it’s the biggest deficiency in his game. His defensive running is his second biggest issue but that’s an easier fix.

 

[DeeSpencer 26,083]

- big contract
- 30 next year
- relies on pace
- defensive running needs a retooling
- has other interests outside football that may mean he lacks motivation

I thought Clarko and Wright had both left Hawthorn. 

[ding 5,126]

Surely its North.

No way we should be interested.

2019 called, they want their desperate mid-season trade idea thread back!   ( I was guilty of this as much as anyone)

A player who refuses to work hard defensively will not make our team, can’t imagine we would give it consideration 

[The heart beats true 18,145]

Nah. He doesn’t work anywhere near hard enough to fit into our structure.

Maybe Reece Conca is out with the Covid H&S protocols this week, and needs a replacement?

[Lord Travis 10,763]

A few years ago sure but about to hit 30 and his main asset is pace which will be on the decline soon. His main weakness is defensive running, which is our teams MO, so he’s not a fit for us.

[praha 11,240]

If Essendon pays half his contract I'd give up a 3rd rounder + filler for him  Maybe Melksham lol

Must admit I have thought about this one 'dazz'...the only way we could take him is if EFC wanted him out and we got him for chips and they paid a big part of his salary. A bit of a Treloar type deal I guess.

Not sure I can see it happening though.

That was the joke.

The question is we all know what we are going to get with Dylan, the mystery is what value they would be after from us.I would prefer Tom to finish here and serve the Club if he wants as he tactically of value..in my OP.

[DubDee 26,123]

Over priced average player?

Obviously Carlton are the club

[Chook 15,022]

How bad does Dyl want a flag?

Watched him closely yesterday 

He was kicking very nicely. He can play when he wants too

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

I actually quite like him as a player, just needs to tidy up his disposal, but no doubt Choco would help with that. Ultimately for it to happen and him to come to Melbourne the Bombers would have to accept very little in return, and pay a good amount of his salary. 

I suspect North, St Kilda and Hawthorn would all be interested.
