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..

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.

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.

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

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.

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'.

That is for the other thread as well.

Good point. So let's take it there! :blink:

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
