"The 24-year-old, who hails from Milwaukee in the US state of Wisconsin, is a powerful athlete who stands 204 centimetres and weighs 104 kilograms."

“It was on the back of his trialling, which encompassed not only the game sense related tuition but also physical and psychological profiling, that we were able to offer Seamus an international rookie position on our list.” Derek Hine

This guy looks good wish he had of approched the Dees. Picked up all aspects of the game while trailing at Collingwood for 14 days got extended to 21 days then given 2 yr contract.

Would have you been interested if he approched us?

    He looks rubbish.

    whoa...that workout is so out of context really to our game it can hardly give an indication as to he adeptness towards Aussie Rules.. it obviously got his foot in teh door at the Filth...he was able to keep extending his trial.. and hes got 2 years.

    Rubbish ?? Probably not :rolleyes:

    He handballs like he's in a Benny Hill skit.

    Any decent athlete of his size would look up to his standard after a bit of kicking practice.

    keep in mind that was his "CV" tape...hes probably come a long ways from then..Seems quite adept at picking things up.

    many many years ago.. 1983 to be precise.. I used to go have a kick in the park ( Regents, when I was bumming around London ) with an Irish guy I worked with.. now he couldnt bounce our ball to save his life... but he could mark and kick within a few weeks. Gee what a concept... an Irish guy playing Aussie Rules :rolleyes:... careful who or why you dismiss out of hand !! ;)

    Completely agree with you, belzebub59, just because he's going to the pies doesn't mean you (deestroy) have to dish out crap to a bloke who's obviously got some talent. And it could open up another recruiting region.

    This video shows that in just over a month of the original tape that he did go a long way and imagine now with the trial and contract, how his skills are.

    I tell you what he doesnt have a bad kicking action at all. Looks better than many Irish converts who are a littel too used to the round ball. be interesting to watch his progress...even if he is fillth !! :lol:

    again ..theres a whole country of them.. :rolleyes:

    theres a few guys on our list hed put to shame..:lol:

    For a yank hes worked out our ball pretty well!! Good luck to him .

    He reminds me of Jake Spencer - but by the time Spencer is 24 he will be just as big and strong and whilst I'm never expecting him to have great skills I think he will be a step above Shae, plus he will be much better at reading the game, tap ruckwork and generally understanding footy.

    Also I think this guy sent a video to all clubs.

    Pass thanks.

    Having said that, the team I play for had 2 American's do preseason with us this year, both started terribly, but with one of them in particular you could see the penny drop and he played a handful of games before he had to go back to the USA, and regularly made our best. We are far from AFL standard, but the bloke ran all day, and in straight lines (didn't take a side step regardless of the oncoming traffic!). His action was very similar to this Shae guy, sort of holds the ball on the point, a lot of his kicks were great, but his bad ones were exactly that!

    what pisses me off is he and players alike have been given the spots on a list that should be occupied by aussie kids who have been working their arses off since they were a kid hoping that one day they will be given the oppurnity. i totally disagree with this appraoch that clubs are taking.

    Dees = All Australian Heritage

    PS: it not a racial thing as i would be happy to draft australian kids of all different nationalatys

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
