He is contracted until 2019 .They can ask more if they want.I personally would wait until his contract ends in 2019 . And then make a play. If we are down the bottom next year the threat of preseason pick up ,I believe would diminish a lot of their leverage in negotiations.

pretending. Dianod we are borh smart enough to know that as Shiel is contracted until 2019 ,GWS hold the upper hand ,they dictate the terms of any deal simply because he is contrcated and is a very good player.I want to be crystal clear ,I don’t want to trade pick one or two,whatever it ends up...

Interested who you would trade ( they are in a premiership window) if they took 2nd rounders this year and next plus a player. I know they probably won’t want to trade him at all, but lets say they did. Zorks , Stephen martin ? To use a metaphor the club was like a bush that had been...

I think sometime ago ,probably a couple of years ago.I wrote about making a play for shiel.but I am not prepared to give up a 1st rounder. I know this is all hypothetical, I would offer our second rounder this year and next and if again ( hypothetically speaking) they also demanded a player on...

Can you say that about any potential draftees jody arnol pick 3 stkilda , richard tambling another top ten flop.there is a litany of players who have been so called childhood stars that have failed at the elite level, I can list more if you want.As a recruiter any draftee ,wether he be the...

No. Rankine did he not play for two sides last year and was best a field for both. From what I can recall when he changed over at half time ,he brought the losing side at that point back into the game against his own team.One word INSANE. My question to you ,how many players do you know can do...

On a roll get the vegemite out!!!!!

Brilliant post. Well said.one of the best posts I have ever read. Great effort. What a magnificent and honest assessment of those senior players who should read this and hang the heads in complete and utter shame for their performances.list cloggers preventing young players who want and have the...

I would only do this if we get pick 1 and 2 PP. but i doubt that will happen.AFL would never want to help us that way. So at this stage Rankine with 1st pick all the way. I would still want hill though.

There is a song from the 80’s I just can’t get enough.this applies to our recruitment of skill and speed. I mentioned a couple of latter picks with this in mind,who from what I have seen thus far have those attributes. Nunan made it quite clear about skill and especially elite kicking, he was...

Rankine would be a fantastic asset, and could play off a wing. orward line, and the forward line isn't flooded, so the forwards have space to lead, and we tend to hit them, we're actually not that bad at the delivery inside 50. But more often than not we find ourselves forced to bomb it high...

I would have Zorks resting forward pocket as the enforcer,placing hard tough tackles roughing up players so cameron has more freedom to do what he does best.

Hi there Jason. ditto as per the others ,good to see you back. When I refer to midfield I mean A grade talent that can spear passes onto our forwards chest. From what I have seen and experienced our movement into the forward line in most cases is poor to say the least. We are lacking polish...

He can only take a strong pack mark if we can get it to him. That’s exactly why the midfield is so so important. No midfield , forwards may as well sit in the stands.

Respect your opinion,although I consder it a bit defeatist. I am taking the other view with a promising list and now stability at the club that it has not had for a long time. So what if they are non QLD ,frankly I don’t care, for the majority of players in this industry money talks. We should...

Cox - ? Why , I want personally want to play him on a wing so that the team can utilise his speed and kicking.I have not lost faith on the youngster. He is talented.

I understand the notion that makes luk very appealing. I get that , however we do not need to get another young forward, we need to get thru FA or unsigned player, a young A grade talented FF, who is in the age bracket we need. Someone who can be a mentor to the still ( very young) Hips. My...

Love ranks and rayner ( sounds like a TV brand back in the 70’s /80’s) in a couple of years running thru the midfield and giving us something special resting in the forward line. I would love rankine and hill at the lions. Skill and speed.bullets coming into the forward line that has lynch &...

I don’t mind either, your proposal is interesting. I really want midfield depth, however what you are suggesting lukocius and rankine I am open to. I would be reluctant to give up a 1st round pick next year while we rebuild. A player and next years second round for a first rounder this year...

Jason carter. I love attacking rebounding defenders. Intercept marking. HBF, I love what I see. For latter pick in the draft.

FA should ( I have said this all a long now for years and years) only be offered to the bottom 4 clubs. No compensation unless you r a bottom 4 side. I have a strong dislike, to the fact ,that top clubs can get compensated for FA and also the fact they r in a stronger,upper hand position to...

I am going to stick to my pick , and show consistency, I am still a big fan of Rankine.

I am also. I am sick and tired quite frankly of the propaganda campaign coming out of Gillon’s mouth. Queensland is in good shape. Gillon if you truly belive that s..., then you are more disillusional than I actually thought you were already. Wake up from your slumber sleeping beauty and stop...

, It seems more likely that if we dug in on the offer of 18, he'd still be running around in an Adelaide jumper. This is hypothetical, the fact is we blinked 1st. Fact is we will never know, what could have happened. It was a Mexician stand-off. Sometimes it just comes down to ,how far you...

LOL i will pay that

Until he signs anything is possible.( trades happening with seconds to go schache,buddy going to Gws then sydney come in with a last minute, huge offer to convince him to go to the swans instead) I am putting this out to everyone on this board. Bring your shovel there is going to be a working...

Ok if we draft him ,you can call him mini me ( Austin Powers would love that LOL)

Its ok to want to draft a gun ,but it is another thing to taint,tarnish manipulate the draft to your own advantage. That to me goes against what the draft is all about and dare I say it brings this great game into disrepute.if any club is found to be manipulating the draft they should be given...

On melbourne radio this morning,talk that sa clubs are interested in rankine.read into that what you will. I am personally very suspicious. His suspension,conspiracy theory time will tell. We need a lot. I personally want to strengthen the midfield, in draft and Fa ,uncontracted players...

Please start a petition. Next time Eddie has to sign something, we can substitute it with the petition.
