Dint deal with the devil Ultimately Shiel was not in Essendons best this year. Saints olayed finals essndon did not Saimts poured games into youngens this year. Shiel is the wrong age group. Shiel body will only have one year left. 2 at the outside Therefore what do you pay for a player that ultimat...

What is in it for Essendon?
They get like for like on the salary front.
They get rid of a VFL list clogger.
They do get Gresham for free.

Gresham is a big winner - salary wise

Offsiding the AFL on the technicalities of the rules is a downside.

Essendon have their eye on that first round pick

Looking good at the trade table. Paddy Dow - Ask Google s Paddy Dow a good player? Dow subsequently took home the VFL best-and-fairest award for his consistent efforts, as well as being named the team's Best Finals Player across their elimination and semi finals. Another quality player coming for Sa...

His stats were great c2018 - 2019 If only our medical team could come up with a cure for OLD. Of couree if they did that they wont stick around as they will own private islands as the industry for a cure for OLD is worth trillions His injuries are symptomatic of an OLD player at the end of his playi...

It is why essendon are trying the deal

Saints are probably stupid enough to do it.
Hand over a first rounder for a has been now VFL plodder.


We do need someone for the medical room now Hannebury - and the long list of over paid charity cases - has vacated

Both are guns

Do play a similar game.

Steele was injured or recovering or much of the year.

Next year will be his turn.

the saints rarely ever go to the trading table.and win. Certainly always get shafted by Essendon at the trading table. Getting a injury riden pensioner on an absorbant salary is not a good deal. He is ranked what 6th best in a team that was 11 on the ladder. Are we contender or pretender? Stop with ...

What is reported this morning in the Herald sun seems ridiculous. Gresham to Essendon for First Round Pick First Round pick to Essendon for Dylan Shiel Therefore effectively Essendon get a First Rounder for nothing. Shiel will be 31 (as of Round 1) and hasnt played a full season since 2019 !!!!!! Ma...

Billings day is done. Has good skills and balance but has incrediably slow decision making. Eg everytime he takes a mark he goes back behind the mark. Ends uo slowing the game ti a stand still. Phillipou needs time.to develop. The week before finals will be good as he looks sore and tired. He would ...

Seb Ross will be an out.
Clarke needs game time.
I would be getting Billings in somewhere.

Somehow tgw AFL managed to get everything sorted out by getting West Coast to beat Dogs.

Didnt see that one coming

Will cost either saints or gws finals

Big issue if it is gws with afl.

Doesnt matter to crows.
They cant make th 8

Could cost saints finals

Adelaide win. Saints cant be out of finals. Now a long division sum with key being saints beating Brisbane in Brisbane. I have faith But ... Gws smashed essendon. Melbourne v swans is 50 - 50 Dogs will win tomorrow . They should beat a defeated tired Geelong in Geelong. I cant believe i am going to ...

Now we need things to fall right or beat Brisbane

Saints have been robbed

Legal chellenge.

If that last shot ... hit the post ... was awarded a goal. Saints make finals.
Guaranteed

Now not so much

Didnt hit the post clearly

I hope there is someone questioning the Players. The second half was awful. How many broken / missed tackles Was there a hard ball get at all? Season on the line. Up by 20odd. DIdnt turn up after half time. The mojo was gone. The mojo is the Saints strength. When it is there they can match it with a...

Is he really up for it? He is leaving much of the coaching to his Assistants. He stated in a recent interview he is watching the training from the balcony. I think it was WIlkie that said to him that he needs to be harder on the players. Call them to account more often. Is he really that invested in...

Is that because the Fremantle loss was unacceptable or the new stand is still incomplete or the games record coach has suddenly decided his legacy is secure. But didn't we get a correction recently that Mr Enright does not commute. Anyway its much more of a fun challenge coaching Dougal than Tom St...

Interesting that website has Sinclair as running 19th in the Brownlow.

He has been our best most influential player. Interesting that we havent got a player rating higher seeing we are 5th on the ladder.

Hopefully gets a one year extension.
He owes the club as he was on a pretty good contract and really hasnt performed up to that expectation.
Therefore if they can give him a chance to repay (eg minimal contract) as he could be very useful next year.

Saints need his aggression around the ball.
