That is for the other thread as well.

Robbo reporting Heath Shaw has decided to play for GWS at about $700,000 a year for 5 years. Silly money from GWS but they have to spend it on someone.

There goes Clark Kents rumour of either us or Geelong - ended up being GWS. More proof of his rubbish.

Beat me to it!

But hey dont say his rumour is rubbish otherwise you will get crucified by his followers..

[Disco Demons 92]

700k x 5 years. That will sort out Shaws attitude problem...

[dazzledavey36 48,707]

I was told tonight that Viv wanted to play under roos so was keen to become a Dee.

If people wanna get some good inside sourced rumour this bloke is the one to listen. I remember he inboxed me telling about the mid year deal we offered to Hogan which he turned down politely before it was reported in the media a month ago.

Keep them coming SMC.

[Machsy 2,856]

Wouldn't have thought anyone needed confirmation that Clark Kent's rumours were complete rubbish...

If he gets one right it'll be due to pure dumb luck.

It's also good to see them erode cap so it knocks a little bit more off the war chest available to them to go after Frawley next year.

[Machsy 2,856]

And with Adams coming back the other way, that's settled that.

I've said it multiple times over the last few months - Buckley loves Adams and was going to do what it took to get him.

In the end, that dominoes all fell into place fairly simply for that deal to go ahead.

Got to say Ron, I honestly think GWS don't have a cap. The AFL lets them go for whoever they want and funds them to do so. When it comes to the new franchise success, they use Messendon's motto, 'whatever it takes'.

Good point. So let's take it there!

If they go over the cap to pay Scully, Davis, Mumford and Heath Shaw I wont complain too much. It's more when they have to pay big bucks to keep their young players in a few years when they are winning that i'll be concerned.

how do you know? as of last night it may have been geelong & us?

maybe GWS just decided to up their ante`. or maybe we jumped off?

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,636]

Duck your head..

Stop being such a tosspot.

No-one with half a brain would get excited by what CK posts, which is what your constant attacks on him such a bore.

did the pies come to some HShaw salary sacrifice or something? in order to help lubricate the adams trade?

Or maybe it was out of Geelong, Collingwood and GWS as reported.

They never up the anit.. that deal was reported about 4 weeks ago.

Or maybe it was BS?

Mahoney had said on 2 or 3 occasions Shaw was not high on our radar, something he himself indicated. It was always between Geelong and GWS and that's been proven to be correct. Apparently Essendon were also trying hard to land him but missed out. No mention of us. We were never in it in any way.

so he's just made his call then, on the $$$$$, looked over all the offers in the file & gone westsydney... has to be $$$$$, to go over the Cats, unless the cats withdrew? or unless the pies reached further, so they could win Adams away from the Cats.
