I thought of this scenario:

Dylan Shiel and pick 9 for our pick 2. We then ontrade pick 9 to Essendon for David Myers.
GWS trade pick 2 and Adams for pick 10 and Shaw.
Myers is not worth pick 9 and Shiel and #9 would be very much in our favour. Can't see GWS going for that trade and I would hope we wouldn't cough up a top 10 pick for an okay player in Myers.

GWS get rorted in the first deal, we get rorted in the second deal, and how the **** is Shaw worth an upgrade from pick 10 to pick 2 AND Adams?

Probably already mentioned in here but have it on good authority Viv Michie will be signing with the Dees. Good kid with a lot of potential and I think given the chance in your midfield could turn out to be a decent player.
Great to hear, I know there is plenty of guys here that will be happy with that.

Any idea what we're giving up? Considering he's played one senior game, has had knee surgery and was drafted at pick 44 I'd be hesitant to trade too much away, even if he has been doing well in the WAFL. The WAFL is after all just that.

Shiel is worth at the bare minimum pick 2, so GWS getting a downgraded pick is a bit ridiculous. Although Shiel apparently wants to come back to Melbourne to be with family

Being reported on Demonland from a poster with connections to a player management company that Shiel doesn't want to play for us.

The Shiel rumour seems to be going down the path of the Shuey rumour. No doubt that we've enquired about them, but both players are contracted and aren't up for trade.

I know it's early in trade week, but the impression I got from Mahoney on SEN this morning is that clubs aren't exactly banging our door down for pick 2.

Mitch Clark stated in an article on Fremantles website that he had no interest in going to melbourne.

You got that too? I got that somewhere between the third or fourth article on the mfc site saying 'yep, we're reaaally looking to trade this pick 2... It's just lying around...'

How long til a player takes pity and sends us an "I choo-choo-choose you" card (with a picture of a train on it)?

Or will we have to leave pick 2 and a pile of cash under a propped up box trap?

I really hope this plays out. I think he can offer us something that we are in desperate need of. Watching his highlights he reminds me a little of a poor mans Josh Kennedy (Swans), whilst Knightmare seems to think he is more of a poor mans Steel Sidebottom!

On a totally separate note, this long Buddy contract isn't a good thing for the game or for a struggling club like ours at present. What stops say Freo or WCE now offering Jesse Hogan a 10-12 year mega $$$ deal to return home to WA? (Other than they would have to trade for him?)

they wont have the cap space...we can do the same.

Plus he is contracted for a few years so they have no chance in that time.
