Re: Monster deal for Dylan Shiel
What the hell is the point of giving up pick 4 for Shiel if we are not in the ‘window’? (can’t think of another word). Like I said, we’d be back in contention for 9th. It’s a joke, but like all jokes there is a degree of truth in it. If we get a few star midfielders and maybe one of our key forward...

Re: Monster deal for Dylan Shiel
Pick 4 is massive overs for Shiel. His career numbers are almost identical to Seb Ross. Aside from averaging only 1 more Clearance a week, they're freakishly similar. Pick 4 for a mid that only averages 24 touches and can't kick goals is overs. Do I want him? s*** yeah. Would I pay pick 4 for him? ...

Re: Well done Jack Steele
I must admit I didn't understand the fuss with him, but he did finish the year really well. It goes to show how highly the coaches rate players who tackle. Same goes for Geary.

Re: Monster deal for Dylan Shiel
I'm not at all convinced that Shiel is better the Stuv. I rarely see Shiel play, but he was pretty ordinary in that final. You will very rarely see Stuv play such a poor game.
Stuv's averages were better than Shiel's last year also.

Re: Ray Connellan
I watched Sandy a bit and I thought Ray had more potential that Darragh. Ray's speed is a serious weapon. He could run around defenders. He was also starting to kick a few goals by the end of the year. Surely defensive pressure is just a mindset thing and the coaches should have done their job and c...

Re: Should we re visit one Grant Thomas's ideas?
Definitely. I've been reading Lenny's book and the way he describes his first few years sounds very much like the saints right now. Grant Thomas brought in the rotating captaincy to solve the leadership problem.

If what Tony74 is right about the training this year, then we need him to teach the youngsters how an AFL player trains. All those hard trainers from the noughties are gone.

For mine, won't be sorry to see Billings gone if this is true. Don't get me wrong I really rate him as a player and think he's going to be terrific - but for somebody else.

Re: Monster deal for Dylan Shiel
If Shiel asked to be traded to us GWS would want Pick 4 and a player, probably Gresham or Steven. Gresham is essential to our future and Steven is the heart and sole of the club right now....but Shiel would be our best midfielder for the next 5-6 years and probably has 7-8 years of footy left in to...
