I dont get it

Sheil ?

The clue was something about splitting a defence by putting a letter in the first name.

- You take a shield (a defensive item)
- You remove the d
- you put it in his first name ('D'ylan)
- you get left with Shiel
- you confuse the **** out of the Carlton BF board for half an hour....

Simples (well, simple since professor ShanDog solved it)

Kind of reminded me of that old joke "How do you keep an idiot in suspense?".

Was like a cryptic crossword clue. Defence was the key term and splitting with a letter from the first name means the answer had something to do with joining a word and a letter to mean defence.
 
I agree mate. Hard to be confident on anything predicted to happen years away but apparently things have been negotiated. Was a very brief chat

Thanks for the info, but we've been down this track many times before.

People are kidding themselves.

Adding Gaff without giving up a draft pick, is a no brainer

Would add Gaff in a heart beat.
We're a club on the rise, he can come back to Melbourne and play at the MCG every other week.
 
That’s the other reason it didn’t excite me. But I take it for what it’s worth. 2nd hand info from someone who doesn’t really talk shit.

Thanks for sharing nonetheless.
Watch this space.
 
No matter what happens there’s no doubt he comes back to Melbourne to play footy.Eagles on the down ward spiral no talent coming through years of regenerating that list.No brainer to leave.

Shiel would play the same role as Cripps and Kennedy. Would cost a lot.

Kennedy probably made up his mind to leave GWS because of Shiel in their side along with Hopper.

List-balance wise doesn't make sense. 3 inside mids - none fast either.

I know he is good but not sure we should take him.

Edit: If Cripps went fwd then might make sense.
Shiel is quick and his outside game is dynamite.

I think he fits perfectly into our long term midfield mix. All can kick goals.
2 inside bulls - Cripps & Kennedy
2 gun inside/outside players - Shiel & Dow
2 balanced mids - SPS & Fisher
Plus outside mids in O'Brien, Lang, Pickett, Garlett (& Gaff?) and hbf/mid types in Williamson, Cuningham and Docherty.

Add in a spattering of talls (from Charlie, Weit, March, Plow, Harry, Jack, TDK, etc) and maybe a specialist small at each end that's pretty much a team. A damn good one at that too.

(I've only really named guys younger than 25 here too, so when I say long term I mean it. There's obviously gonna be a few senior guys that stick around for quite a while pending form and fitness... Jones, Kreuz, Murph, Ed, Wright, etc)
 
Yeah Ben is sheit ... bad attitude, shoulders falling off, his teacher texted me that he had the onset of gangrene in his kicking foot.

Will be lucky to be drafted to the Werribee thirds next year. As the orange boy.
