He is much much better than Adams. We should offer up our pick three and Fisher for Bruce and Shiel. He is elite. He is your genuine 30 plus possession quality mid. Please do that trade. He is your future brownlow quality type and would only be about 21 yo.
Again reality check please.
Pick 3 and Fisher would not be enough to get Shiel on his own never mind both.
Hird... The unflushable one is now... just a turd...

Yes Verdun i'm fairly sure AE was on the bulldogs list for a while and we tried to get him across to St.Kilda bur they wouldn't play ball, a bit later the swans moved on him.
The boy can play and we can build a defence around him that will have respect.

Would the club let Pick # 3 go for Shiels (who already has some exposure in the AFL)?
I suppose the club will be doing their best to try and compare Shiels to Kelly or Aish both rated top 3 now.
Would we be better with T.Adams for instance + Pick #3 ? or.....
Shiels in place of the top 3. Pick ???
I hope the Saints list planners are good at this game this year.
G O S A I N T S !

Aish could be anything he might be the next Ablett or the next dud. With Shiel you get a ready made 30+ possession mid and no gamble. I guess do you take a guy who will be the quality of a Montagna type but may still get even better or do you take a very highly rated kid that could be anything. I think there is talk we want Kelly who doesn't do a lot for me anyway.
I would take the less risky option myself. Swap him for our pick 3 and swap Bruce for Fisher. Those that say they wouldn't take it- the Dees are the only team stopping him coming with pick 2 but they are more likely to use that on their choice of player. Bruce isn't geting a game and may just go through to the draft if they don't find a trade.

GWS dont want picks, they want players. Why do you think they will still trade pick one?

Like this!

I cant see him going - I think the only club really keen is Norf and they arent prepared to do it for pick 9.
So I reckon our club was only open to pick 9.
Pick 27 + a GOP probably wont get it done.

This is why it's not called "reporting"... it's called "guessing."
SEN and all the other outlets don't do much "reporting" this time of year.
I bought a shirt from Target once.
It had a hard tag on it too.

So all of the Saints were leaving but now they don't think so.
I wonder how many hours the SEN guys spent in the polling booth scratching their heads the other week.

Sam Fisher offered two year deal + defensive coaching role with GWS.
Saints offering same $$ but for only 1 year. Fisher to tell GWS in next 48 hours.
If Fisher say OK to deal, GWS has to trade with the Saints as Fisher is contracted
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Makes sense. Will add an experienced body to the backline and a stop gap until GWS develop their young backman. Reality is though we wouldn't get much of a return on chips. Perhaps straight swap for Bruce or a pick upgrade not unlike the Brian Lake deal last year.
