I checked the Bombers board, so seems to be true mofo
I think he’s talking about the F1 and pick 25 you mentioned which is clearly ridiculous, considering we would take on his salary too.

Sounds like what those delusional Bombers fans would like to get for him.
 
We were into Shiel when he chose the bombers.
Don't get the love for him, is a shite field kick.
I'd say he was a clearance specialist, not anymore.
Does bob up for a goal or two, fairly regularly.
Parker is my guy, if we want an experienced mid.
And if we can't get Parker, would prefer Macrae to Shiel. Year younger, much more durable, get him to take over the Crouch role

Where's the shitty ****ing attitude? Talk about an unnecessary comment.

We aren't a ****ing charity. I get the theory, attract better talent for Sandy by handing out a list spot to one of a dozen or so players when we should be picking from a pool of thousands. The better talent helps our kids develop, I get it.

Only problem is that a player like Wilkie (prior to being drafted) would never come half way across the country to play VFL. In fact, most players we've attracted already have a Sandy connection.

I will categorically say the 'experiment' didn't work this year. Noone at Sandy deserves a list spot and if we got a gun in who kills it, chances are we don't get access to them prior to a nothing rookie spot that we've promised someone.

It's ****ing stupid, it's all rainbows and butterflies in theory, but in practice it's dumb when list spots are so hard to come by.
You dont think calling a bunch of guys trying their guts out every week "spuds" isnt a shitty attitude? Players do actually read these forums and if you think that VFL players arent reading the forum about their own team youre naive as hell.
 
Shiel’s happening. Will cost us bugger all. Prepare.

Get a grip! We are an AFL ****ing football club, the top of the tree, it's a brutal industry - we shouldn't be in the business of giving participation awards out when someone else more deserving will miss out. If someone who isn't good enough gets their knickers in a knot over a random person on an internet forum calling them a spud then they won't survive 5 minutes with the big boys.

I'm ****ing done, maybe I'm naive as hell, but I'm going to be naive as hell elsewhere I'm over it.
 
Essendon & Geelong are my most hated clubs these days, used to be Carlton & Collingwood as a kid.
Don't like Shiel either, arrogant overrated pr..k.
essendon my most hated,lump geelong and collingwood in on the podium,richmond and bulldogs the next 2,crows the interstate team i hate most,but if saints arent contending im happy for an interstate team to win it,this seasons looking like i can enjoy finals

I have no doubt there was a handshake agreement re: Sheil, related to Gresham and us getting decent compo. When he hurt his knee, we delayed it by 12 months, but the salary dump has allowed/will allow them to pay Gresham enough, or at least structure the deal that maximised our compo.
Nothing to do with Gresham and from what I have been told we never had an interest in Sheil apart from a cursory look like any club does for dozens of players.

The talk all came out of the Dodo's pet reporters.
Maybe this year we might be interested for a future 4th rounder but about as much interest as last year.
I have no interest in the soft spud.

If he'd played well against the Cats, you could argue that he's improved a bit, but he's been constantly up and down over 2 years without ever being exceptional.


He’s had a horrible injury run
 
What would be a fair price to pay for Parker? Contracted one more year I believe. Take his salary off the Swans books, offer two years maybe. Thoughts?

I think a salary dump could make him cheaper

Does a future 3rd & 4th get him as a salary dump? You’d think they have to free up cash to sign McDonald and Warner.

Although with Shiel sounding highly likely mean Parker is not an option?
He may also wish to go to a bigger club/ a club in the window
 
I wonder if we’ve had a chat with Fischer McAsey to see where his heads at. Local boy who was a very high draft pick having a kick at st Kilda city.

I can't see that we can have Crouch , Jones ,and Shiel , or Crouch, Jones and Parker.
If we lose Crouch....Jones , Shiel and Parker would probably be a bit much too.
If we de-listed Jones we might be able to do it.
