[mohannair]

Sorry to keep on delivering bad news, we are out of the race for Shiel and he is going to choose between Blues and Hawks...

[Cairnsman]

He's going to Essendon

Your inside word or from a public source?

Not good if so... back to the drawing/trading board.

Good riddance

My money's on the Hawks as his manager barracks for them.

It would accentuate our incompetence if he chooses Carlton -- and Bolton -- for much less money, though.

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Apparently will make the call in next 24-48 hours.

I thought the 'player A barracks for Team B so he will go to them' was the biggest waste of breath during the trade period.... now its who the manager barracks for.

If his manager is a professional (it might even be Connors who is the best in the business) then this will have no impact.

This has been the mail all weekend, that Shiel has told us we're out. The tune has changed today, an ITK at BigFooty who has been reliable is saying we're back in (or were never out).

Maybe this guy hasn't heard yet that we are out....

He got his mail this morning. Lethlean then said (about an hour ago) that we haven't been rejected.

Honestly I don't think he's a great fit for us right now. GWS are going to want high picks in this year's draft and ours is too valuable to be trading away and they would expect an additional pick or player as well. Our biggest asset is the space in our salary cap so we need free agents, not players who trigger a bidding war in terms of trade currency. We should target players who we can acquire by paying over the market rate in terms of money, not trade currency.

Better in than out I reckon.

We are favs at this minute. I can’t work out all the talk over the weekend? People just guessing?
I’m not a ITK at all. But getting good info on this (hopefully)

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Keep praying. I am.

I tend to agree
Clear that Carlton rate Walsh higher than Shiel....
I’m not sure he’s the speed outside polished foot skill mod we are missing for that much coin..
I guess u at least know he can play st level but gee....hate to miss a Hodge/Judd for him cause we know he ain’t that

[Sainternist]

Anyone who says they are ITK of this outcome is full of crap. The trade period is a circus and social media only goes full moronic inferno for it.

[mad saint guy]

Good get for Essendon. They need an elite balanced mid who is ready to go and contribute while they have Hurley, Hooker, Heppell, Smith, Tippa and Zaharakis in their prime. He'll probably cost them their next two first rounders with a second rounder coming back which is more than we could afford to pay in our situation.

[loris]

He's going to Essendon

Well done Cairnsman............. I'll annoint you as our Resident ITK I hope no one gets too skeptical about that!!!!!

From this moment forward Loris I would like to be referred to as Mystic Man.

[The Fireman]

[St Loxton]

Nice work Mystic Man.
Any more visions?
