without knowing particulars, it seems they’re more than happy to let players go that gave 100% in terms of effort at the club. I reckon they felt it was a bit of grand standing re: mccarthy.
I reckon some are overrating the draft. we’ve shown capacity to get more than handy players late on. i’m not fussed if we throw around first round picks for someone like shiel.
For GWS, letting Sheil go for draft picks keeps the talent pipeline moving. They know they can replace him and have a talented group to cover his loss. They also have a cap issue. Next year they will loose Sheil for nothing. If they can get picks, release pressure on the cap to keep Scully, Green, Whitfield, Kelly then they will begrudgingly accept it.
I wonder if the early trade with GWS last year has given us a good trading relationship with them.
Always and forever.
“First round picks are like gold, you can’t just trade them out”
Years pass, first round pick doesn’t come on
“Not everyone has to be a star, he plays a role.”
It depends what footy jumper he’s wearing.
Wearing black with a red sash instantly adds a draft pick to your value. Any other team, your value is reduced by a draft pick.
He’s a Horsham boy, I’ll ask around.
It doesn’t make sense to me from a Sydney perspective, though.
That Shaw/McVeigh/Lloyd role is as much a part of their culture as ‘get the best full-forward.’

Could you get Shiel for a first, and a second this year given that he’s a couple of years older than Treloar and Restricted Free Agent next year? For mine that represents fair value. GWS hold out until next year and only get a first rounder after losing in a bidding war as North prepared to pay him ‘a billion’ a year… Or a first and maybe a Gleeson who would solve some of their medium back challenges and a third for second upgrade?
