If he’s forgone $300k/yr it’s huge and coming to club for the right reasons
Paul Connors on Trade Radio now.
Shiel liked to play for Bombers.
What put bombers No1
- Great young list
- mautre list
- spread of players
- All Australians
- Can Challenge for 8 / top 4 and that was important
- He met all clubs
- chopped and changed decision
- Hawks/Bloos and Stkilda very professional
- Lunch time tody he decided Essendon
- Talked to 3 clubs first (said wasnt coming) then called Essendon
-Spoken to Devon Smith - close to Devon (Devons footy improved) - Lure of playing with devon
- Devon spoke highly of program and Hayden Skipworth
- Dons needed boosting in the midfield
Did Essendon have the lowest offer - possibly not for Paul to say.
Someone told him to make decision just on money, but also on football.
What a great day. Sucked in blosers.
What did Wallace say on Trade Radio just after announcing Shiel was coming?
Something to do with opportunities for a younger player?
Langford?
Laverde?
Ive a club made me spend time on the beach with SOS and Judd I’d tell them to ■■■■ off too
get the FARK IN
Less money but far more club.
I know what was reported and I’m calling BS. Things may have changed. It may still have been lower, but I doubt it was that much lower in the end. The Age reports a lot of things…
Connors on TR:
Dylan has taken his time with the decision.
At some stage, wanted to return to Melbourne.
Bombers chosen because of the great young list (and spread of All-Australian mature age players).
Can challenge for the top 8 and top 4. Tilt at flag.
When will he tour the training facilities?
Do yourself a favour and give Kev Bartlett a miss today if you plan on listening to sen.
Can’t wait to see him exploding away from packs and bombing it long to big Joe and co next year. ■■■■■■■ gun.
Smith sold the program and Skipworth’s influence on him since coming to the club last year.
Thanks Skippy

- GWS needing to get picks in moreso than players

’maybe a couple of others’
Oh boy! Is he alluding to someone else coming?
He said something like, ‘and who knows who joins Essendon this offseason.’
Did anyone hear that?
