    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'.

    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?

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

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
