Hey roggy, I thought Bombers held all the cards?

I think they were using the wrong deck for a while there.

We are not female sheep.

I done went and fixed it just for you.....

You are not Baby.

Bloody Silvangi, he just can't do anything right can he. The scum don't deserve Shiel, they were greedy right from the get go. We had a chance to get our man today. All it took was SOS to put up pick 1 and the deal would have been done and those arrogant bomber fans would be weeping as we'd pull another 99 prelim on them. We had the chance to get the best deal done for GWS, for us and even for Dylan. If we could get Shiel, I'm confident we'll be in the premiership window in 2 years time. The number 1 pick is extremely overrated, look at Wietering he has turned out to be a dud, this Walsh guy could end up being the same. Now we have allowed them to further strengthen their list and ultimately shoot for their 17th flag next year.

Some on here have said it was a "moral win" getting 2 first rounders out of Essendon, however you don't get anything for coming close. Even forcing GWS to keep him would have been better than him going to Essendon. Dodo and his gang have treated Dylan, GWS and the AFL with such disrespect over the last week or so thinking they could pay crumbs to get Shiel, yet all Silvangi could offer up was next years 1st round pick!!?? Pathetic. What a waste of 3 hours this has been

C'arn

 

[BringBackSimmo]

SOS will try to improve our draft position for pick 1 ...take it to the bank that is his mission

How do you improve Pick 1?

 

[Metalcrusher]

C'arn

????????? Da damn Mebby?

 

[Smegger]

Well done SOS driving up Shiel’s price!

 

[Metalcrusher]

How do you improve Pick 1?

Turn it into pick 2/3/6 on draft night when the pressure is on!

 

[LanceRomance]

Imagine if we had SOS at the end of 2011 where we did nothing in that three week trade period

 

[passmark]

are you joking? look who they got to replace him, i'd do neale for beams any day especially the age.

Neale is gunna bust out at Brisbane .

He's been B&F at Freo for two seasons (and runner up the years before ) and in that time he's not been that happy.

They won't miss beams at all.

Why not have them both?

 

[BringBackSimmo]

In: Mitch McGovern, Will Setterfield, Alex Fasolo, Nic Newman, pick 71, 2019 3rd round pick (tied to Adelaide)

Out: Nathan Kreuger (state-league player), Shane McAdam (state-league player), picks 26 & 28, 2019 2nd, 4th & 5th round picks

It's pretty good, how we managed to give up two players, that we didn't really even have.

wut

 

[jezzajay]

Well done SOS & co.. very happy and can’t wait to see the newbies line up for round one.

 

[Aphrodite]

We keep PICK 1!

Hey The Old Dark Navy's

 

[Bostonian]

If you're going after a GWS midfielder Shiel would be the 4th, 5th or even 6th one you'd go after if you had a choice.

Better to bide our time until their best are potentially available.

 

[AceAndy]

Turn it into pick 2/3/6 on draft night when the pressure is on!

That would be an outstanding result , not sure how it happens though

 

[reubsblues]

Reckon SOS got it done without giving up much of anything …… what will be interesting is to see on draft night the knock backs he dishes out for potential Pick 1 offers ….. reckon Adelaide and GC will come hard prior to announcing the pick number one slot …...

Only thing we'll hear is pick one Sam Walsh

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Setterfield
McGovern
Fasolo
Newman
Walsh*

Bloody well done, SOS

....and don't forget Matt Owies...could end up being the best out of the lot

 

[Mondyboy]

My mail is Gold Coast are strong on the king brothers at 2/3 so it would have to be a monster offer.

No way GCS are giving 2 and 3 when their club has been gutted. And 6 won’t help Adelaide when Port have 5. StKilda in the box seat.

We did nothing with everything, trades, draft picks, everything. Just rolling over 3, 4 or 5 list changes every year thinking we were close.

The Ratten era was a trading/draft disaster.

Kelly
Coniglio
Whitfield
Shiel

In all fairness though, Shiel is still a jet. I just don't believe in giving up so much for a player in the era of free agency. Unless, they are an out an out star (Kelly).

wut wut??? "C'arn" WTF does that mean???

NANE!

 

[Accidental genius]

Newman is a defender but highlights of him on our website showed him kicking a few goals....can obviously play forward/defence. So McGovern and Newman (and potentially weitering) give the team attack/defence flexibility. Great moves imo.
