    I really wanted us to chase Shiel when he was up for trade at GWS. He was a stoppage beast with explosive power out of the contest. Thankfully we didn’t and thankfully we have Oliver and Trac instead.

    I agree with what everyone is saying.  he's a good player and has that burst of speed which is good. But we don't have the money. I would however be interested in targeting Shuey from WCE for a 1 year rental. I think he would be much cheaper and has the finishing that we lack sometimes. And he's clutch in big games.

    At his age, he’s destined for the cattery.

    A bit the same. I thought he was fantastic early on at the Giants and was hoping we could prise him out of there. Unfortunately he was playing a lot better at 19 than he is at 29. Still has talent, pace & power and could be a significant asset in the right environment. It appears that's not Essendon. Economically, it can't be us.

    yeah, definitely injury prone. would come super cheaply. he's a significant upgrade on James Jordon but yeah obviously when healthy. Nonetheless, I do hope we get involved in a few raids in the off season. We're a destination club for some good players that are towards the end of their careers.

    I could see us kicking the tyres the same way we did with Cerra but I'm not sure if it's worth a full shout.

    I'd suggest that Tom Browne's entire basis for the rumor is the joke mention of him on Gus & Gawny, but that would require Tom Browne to have spent 30 minutes actually researching football news, so it is unlikely.

    Shiel is discussed in Point 5 of this article:  six-points  It talks about his strengths being assets at GWS but underutilised at Essendon where his weaknesses are then exposed.

    "The simple truth is this: Essendon, a young team that plays a short-kicking game and seems intent to move the ball slowly towards sole tall target Peter Wright, has no use for a player like Dylan Shiel."

    He has several years on his contract reported at $800k pa.  If Ess can't use him effectively that is a lot of coin out of their sal cap.  Like other teams that want to do sal cap dumps for a seemingly 'non-essential' player they may be better off cutting their losses and accept an average draft pic ala GWS (Patton, HWSNBN), Coll (Stephenson, Phillips), GCS (Brodie).  If they want a good pick eg 2nd round they need to pay part of his salary for a few years ala Coll (Treloar).

    But then it is Dodoro clubs will be dealing with.

    We are not one of the teams mentioned where he might be needed.

    Now let’s go and comment on how much we need to keep Dogga and Clarry on their respective contract renewal threads.

    At yesterdays indigenous jumper presentation, Ky-ya explained the emu footprints were a symbol of moving forward as a club as emus can’t move backwards. I wonder if this is Shiels nickname

    Clearly not an example of Shiel be Wright.

    Sadly for all of our lols they'll improve in this area with Mahoney running the show.

    Maybe.  I think Dodoro and Mahoney are separate organisational units whereas at the Dees the two were combined under Mahoney's jurisdiction (until the 2020 restructure when they were split ala Ess). 

    A fly on the wall at Ess might be fun if the two need to negotiate what they think is best for Shiel or anyone else.

    Would be interesting to see how much of the AFL media would retain their job if they were made to work under a zero tolerance policy for dishonest reporting, and they had to be able to back up everything they report with reliable sources. 

    Most just see a situation, make a string of assumptions, and when lightning strikes and their guess turns out to be right they pat themselves on the back for it.

    Over priced average player?

    Obviously Carlton are the club

    Although he is approaching 30, so maybe it's Geelong?

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
