Shiel would give us pace and a clearance winner. Yes he is a bad kick and has had a bad run with injuries but that’s also why he is potentially gettable.

Look Rozee, Butters, Duursma, Jones, DBJ, Mead, Schofield, etc, they aren’t big bodied, strong inside winners. They may add a little something but I can’t see them matching up with the big midfields. Boak and Gray were beaten up, Wines and Drew were the only big bodies and one is a defensive mid. Even if we managed to get Goater/Draper/Horne-Francis at the draft, they aren’t correcting this issue. So how do we regularly match Oliver/Petracca/Bradshaw/Viney, the dogs, Geelong, west coast or the lions who all regularly beat us up?

Shiel could offer that. As could Mitchell. At least until others come through and certainly gives us a chance of a flag.

Remember as well, the best sides build a list around top 15 picks. Finishing in the finals ensures you get crap picks, so it’s premiers or nothing.

Finalyson looks more like us doing due diligence. A player wants to move to SA and we need to know if that works for us or not. Gives us cover if another tall leaves and he may be happy to come and play as a stop gap.

And in terms of medicals, lots of players visit clubs. Plenty of port players have openly or secretly visited other clubs - I wouldn’t read heaps into it. Besides are NSW or Vics able to even come to SA at the moment?
 
I’d trade everyone on the list over 23 years old except Allir, Amon and Wines to get Mitchell. He would be the absolute perfect fit for us. Truly (yes I am gunna say it) the missing piece of the puzzle
Really I think his best footy is behind him and wouldn't come cheap
 
I do not like Shiel, just take a look at how the Essendon masses have turned on him. But in a similar vein, With Collingwood rebuilding could we target a guy like Taylor Adams? I’m a big fan of his. Wins massive amounts of the ball, spreads well, tackles well, has speed, is a butcher of the footy but we have enough good kicks to surround him with. He’s a lock and load Boak replacement.
 
How could finlayson have done a medical at port? Wouldn’t he need to have quarantined for 14 days to even get into the state? Unless we have a doc on the payroll in nsw?

Thats a really good question…

But GWS has been on the road for some time. Week 1 of the finals was in Tasmania and week 2 in Perth. Im not sure what the rules are, but he might not have had to isolate for the full 14 days.
