Fascinating to see if Electric Blue has good mail re Gaff.

Good bloke, and his WA contacts are usually very good.

bout time we poisoned that waterhole then

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Also thinks North are getting Polec, Gaff, Hall and Newman...
And we are not getting Shiel because he doesn’t like our facilities. Lol

FWIW, I don't know about Newman, but the other three have all been heavily linked to North.

Haven’t seen Blue Thunder here in a while either

Parker is contracted until 2021, he's not going anywhere nor do Carlton have the currency for him.

Pick 1. Gun. Yes please.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

If we get both we will play finals next year !

Will need more than those two to play finals.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Parker has already said that he isn't going anywhere

TBF, he wouldn't be the first player to say that then seek a move. And tonight's recent rumour from the fisho isn't the first time Parker has been alluded to recently.

FWIW - Does anyone still think a team of dwarves playing high pressure football is the only way to win a flag?

Nope, never did.

What is accurate estimation of the probability we land Shiel and Gaff. Is it something along the lines of:
Shiel 80%
Gaff 30%
Too long in the wilderness, we have to re-emerge soon!

Hmm, should I not have used it?

No, but it ain't a bad thing?

Richmond's were very formidable last year. But just wait until St. Kilda's come around. They'll be on fire!

 

[Kramer1]

Yeah, North don't really leave anything to the imagination though...

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Saints tried to light it up with dwarves, reckon something was lost in translation

And as I replied to him, they'll do so again a few years time.

Thought Norf only target pensioners.

Will be a bummer if we miss out on him, but not much more we can do.

At the end of the day its the player that decides, and no-one really knows what's going on in Shiel's head and whether he's made any decision yet.

 

[thylacine60]

Thought Norf only target pensioners who are yet to peak.

 

[Bradschi]

James Brayshaw will be giving you a call next week Thy

Exactly right - our informants only know what Shiel and/or his manager tell the Club. We don’t know what Shiel is actually thinking and we don’t know if a club will come in later and swoop in or change their offer.

But having said all that I just don’t see why he would pick the Hawks. They have a great coach and Mitchell will be a great midfield coach, but they don’t have the players to be a top 4 team and there’s just too many gaps to fill in through trades. Yes they finished Top 4 this year but they weren’t a top 4 team and will likely stall in the 4-12 range for the next few years. I also think Hawks prefer Wingard over Shiel but aren’t sure if he will pick them over Dogs - or whether Port will be interested in anything Hawks can offer in terms of trade.

I can see why Shiel would join the Swans - he seems to like it up there and they are a contender. I can see why he would join say the Demons but they aren’t interested. Saints are similar to Blues near bottom of ladder but able to pay the big bucks - you’d imagine he would choose us over the Saints. North and * could still be options depending on what happens with Gaff and Martin. I think we should remain quietly confident but wary of the Hawks, Swans and *. My best guess is he is leaving and if so we have a 70% chance of getting him. I used to think it was 95%.

Part of me still believes he wants people to think he is considering many clubs and that he wants us Blue supporters to feel like we won the lottery when he chooses us - even though he was always coming to us.

Who are you kidding, you'd give up any draft pick for a water pistol.

I'm 50/50 whether Shiel gets to us. He probably prefers to stay and needs convincing to come to Carlton. Giants and Connors want us though so I'm hopeful, as is the club.
