SOS “ok you have salary cap issues, I am happy to screw *, so who else you got that will help you keep Shiel, 4th round next year, we will take anyone”Sos maybe meeting about another player not necessarily shiel![]()
Next year's 1st for Shiel,? Think that would go close, given the current trade with the Bombers will be pick 9 and a mid 2nd
Can't help but feel we'll always struggle to maintain a professional organisation if this is the decision making process around a potential generational talent suffering from a mild case of ennui...
Would a club have recruited Garry Ablett Snr under these deliberations? What do we have two psychologists at the club for?
That's definitely the risk, but the alternative is two of Lamb, Kerridge, Graham and Rowe. I'll take that bet if it's offered, but it was not.
Never said Will was small potatoes (assuming he's fit and ready to go), but Scully and Scrimshaw are relative to Shiel, Gaff, Beams, Lynch, etc.
We just finished last in a season in which we were expected to rise, that's what I'm referring to.
Good question, but the Hawks have bet a four year contract on him. I don't really rate whatever the Giants are doing up there in terms of training loads and injury management, because every year their list is made to look like it's full of blokes made out of chalk.
It's been made painfully clear that all Scrimshaw and Scully would have cost is a future third round pick.
6-8 wins in 2018 and I think a very different story would have unfolded, which was the point of my post.
The story was republished, and the quotes you're hinting at appear to be in tact:

Even Eade, a renowned hard arse, is questioning the approach taken by some. There's even code words in that article for anxiety disorder.
Great that we opted not to spend pick 5 on him, but what's the problem with a future pick swap? The biggest hurdle for mine was convincing him not to go to his beloved Hawks, but it seems we trashed that idea in June after some initial conversations.
I don't see how sidestepping this bloke twice makes us a strong organisation. The fact that people here seem to talk about his issues in the same way they would for Fevola is what scares me, because there's absolutely no evidence of that.

Walks out with Patton and Finlayson.
Shiel said no to Hawks and they moved on and went and found new targets. We're wasting our time being strung along. Don't see this as a positive.

Let’s hope Newman is the defensive back pocket we need.
Salary cap dumps
Especially as the AFL has now confirmed that if you trade a player in and it’s a career ending injury, you can payout their contract outside of the cap, worst case with Patton his tooth pick knee goes again and we say it’s career ending and pay him a heap of money outside the cap.Salary cap dumps
I don't see it that way. It will be one of lots of conversations. SOS is probably discussing other players with GWS and not Shiel
Who says we are being strung along, if we force * to pay more that IS a positive for us.Shiel said no to Hawks and they moved on and went and found new targets. We're wasting our time being strung along. Don't see this as a positive.
We got our targets and didn’t have to trade out one of our best young players to do so. Hawthorns trade period is meh.Shiel said no to Hawks and they moved on and went and found new targets. We're wasting our time being strung along. Don't see this as a positive.
yep and we got nothing but time, (having completed our mooted trades); salary cap space; next year's 1st to offer.
(and two slightly ungainly flawed KPPs)
always worth a chat.
