"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:

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 .

PJ could do all that all that and more.

Good on him for having a crack i wish him well. He's a yank he doesn't know he should hate Collingwood.

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

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?
