Not sure if this belongs here or delusional pearlers. Mods feel free to change.

Classic Barrett article, speculation, sensationalism and fluff at the front of the article, and then the truth of the matter buried near the end.

"How Carlton almost pulled off the Shiel steal"

...

"Ultimately, the Blues didn't have ample scope to trade in Shiel, as they were not relinquishing their overall No.1 pick in the 2018 draft, because even by then they had become obsessed with Sam Walsh, and the offer of their first selection in the subsequent year's draft alone wasn't going to be enough."

Whether it’s true or pulled completely from his coight, the article is completely irrelevant. And so is Damien Barret.

Shiel would have gone to Carlton, and GWS wanted him to go to Carlton and Silvangarnihni wanted him at Carlton and 27seconds before trade week ended he was going to Carlton......but Carlton didn't have any way to trade him there as they didn't want to give up a certain pick so he stayed at difficult to deal with Essendon.

THANKS FOR THE INSIGHT DAMO YOU ****
 
BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!! ’s Wildest Dreams: Volume 4

Dream #347

Scene: A dark hallway which seems to stretch on forever. It’s Nathan Lovett-Murray’s house. Our hero is there lost and muttering, complaining, mentioning about preseason games and attitude. He is crying and gnashing his teeth. Suddenly Dylan Shiel appears with a somewhat suspicious packet of Kleenex and, somewhat embarrassed, starts to clean away our hero’s tears. Then they find a cupboard full of westcoast coolers, they are fresh even though their date of manufacture is Gary Ablett Snr’s date of birth. When they open a can, a jet of the budget aged wine-cooler-product erupts and dislodges a snow globe - it breaks - things go black and white, then dark blue, camera focus on Steven Silvagni’s deranged face mouthing ‘Rosebud’. Cut-shot to an old man typing on some sort of computer-device: page 13,788 of the Dylan Shiel thread. It’s our hero! And he is old like Bilbo Baggins without his magic ring. He clicks ‘next’ to load the latest page but instead on the screen a dark hallway appears, which seems to stretch on forever... He shrugs, and opens another tin of cooler. Fin.
