Operation Human Shiel

These “communication specialists” do realise that Essendon don’t write the papers don’t they?

Because for some reason, when that tool, McCartney, brought it up at the breakfast the other morning, he seemed to be angling it towards Essendon/Dodoro and make it appear as if they were to blame.

These idiots need to get a grip.

Lol Lloydy!

Despite what the papers write, or the media say, very few of these situations every fall through.

Sure they traded Dev Smith last year, but thats no reason to get nasty.
GWS had large numbers of great picks at successive drafts during their startup years and they were never going to be able to hold all that elite talent given that after 8 years they are now subject to the same TPP $ number as the 17 other clubs.
They are being childish about this.

Cornes and Lloyd? Fark, we’re doomed! We should all be at ATE levels of pessimism and misery by now.

Didn’t GWS tell Shiel to explore his options…FMD that article is not reflective of previous statements from the media

DEAL OR NO DEAL… Dylan Shiel is taking under’s to come to Essendon. If the Bombers CAN’T or WON’T get him in 2018, then he may WALK to Essendon in 2019 but; want more money. Apples with apples. Come on Jackets do the DEAL!!! He is the difference between us wanting to be the best sometimes; you have to be prepared to compromise and let go of something to get there. DEAL.

GOOD PLAYERS WILL WANT TO COME TO US AS WE IMPROVE ANYWAY. That’s the way it
works in footy. DO THE DEAL, JACKETS.

Well if the deal does fall through at least will wil still have pick in a very good draft. We can always have another go next year or perhaps target something even better. Whist Shile would have been great, the natural development of our younger players should hold us in good stead for 2019.

The deal won’t and can’t fall through.

Sheil is probably the difference between Essendon being a very good side in 2019 or a side which will make up the numbers and finish 8th to 13th.

The conservative approach to trading has failed Essendon for 14 of the past 15 years, last year being the exception

Stick to your guns Jackets! GWS let the deal fall over they will rightly be seen as ■■■■■■ by Shiel and everyone else.

Where are all the panic merchants coming from?

The deal will obviously go through.

I’m just annoyed we’re being used to get viewers for the televised program “it may fall through. Watch and see what happens!”

It just makes Essendon look incompetent in getting a relatively straight forward trade done.

If this deal was any risk of falling through Connors would’ve been on every station on each of the AM, FM and DAB frequencies shouting from the rooftops.
He hasn’t been heard from.
Isn’t it amazing that none of the big-ticket items have happened yet? Like really, really, reaalllyyy amazing…
I’m sitting tight and very confident.
