Sorry posted this by mistake.

Lots of talk on radio this morning that Heath Shaw should be put up for trade.

Would we be interested in getting him.

Some scribes think that he would be a good fit for the Dees.

Roos maybe able to curtail his wayward nature a bit.

Any thoughts?

    Would prefer we trade for needs (True Mids) and any draft picks used on best available.

    This in my view is in the same category as Didak. Shaw is a senior member of the Woods rat pack We would be buying trouble, totally against the "no [censored]" philosophy. I can tell you, Roos wouldn't wear it in a fit.

    Apparently Roos turned Rhys Shaw around and made a very accountable player.

  • Quote

    has been a consistent DH

    involved in the drink driving,lies,threatening taxi drivers

    on field ,blow ups abuse.racial abuse,

    reckon I could upset him with some well timed baits

    this man is not likely to help OUR club

    yep lets get him

    ooops forgot,we now have a sensible person in charge

    If anyone can extract the best out of Heath it is PR...if there is anything to extract.

    I am 50/50 on players like this...i will let PR sought it out

    Membership is paid Roosy...you choose the side.

    I wold take him for the right trade in a heartbeat.

    We have one running half back who uses the ball well and makes smart decisions and that's a first year player in Terlich.

    Shaw would be great as another. I would swap him with someone like Dunn in an instant.

    Of course we need to address the midfield first and foremost but it's also about adding talent to our entire list and Shaw plays his position very well indeed.

    and Rhys Shaw was like 22 when that happened

    Heath would be pushing 30

    I don't give a [censored] about his history. Roos would sort that out no problem and his past doesn't affect his onfield performance does it?

    It's a non-argument. He may have troubles at Collingwood which is clearly why he's being talked up as someone to move on. That doesn't mean he'll carry those problems to the next club.

    Fevola is the only one who I can think of who couldn't change his destructive behaviour out of how many? And now we are blessed to have a coach who is famous for his player development skills. Give me a [censored] break people.

    I'd be more than happy to go after him.

    Fevola is the only one who I can think of who couldn't change. Please list some others all you naysayers?

    If he has enough troubles that his current club wants to get rid of him, why would those troubles not bother us?

    It IS an argument.

    Trouble is his middle name.

    Sydney with culture turning around Rhys Shaw is not the same as MFC without culture taking onboard brat Heath.

  • Quote

    Depends on the price (contract and trade), but at his age and likely value we are probably better off going for some younger midfielders or players in their 30s who we can acquire for nothing.

    Not quite.

    He is pushing 28 which gives him 2 years worth of currency with a bit of mongrel that our side needs.

    It's a non-argument. I've just listed one player who carried his behaviour on to another club in Brendon Fevola.

    I've asked you to list others. You can't. So it's a non-argument.

  • Quote

    can see this panning out ala T.Gillies, player too big for his boots from successful to lowly club, don't even think Roos could save him, which is unfortuanate and not worth the gamble.

    Nick Davis, despite his finals heroics, returned to the outer under Roos.

    So you think the club with the weakest culture in the AFL should bring in a disruptive divisive player who has been rejected by his long time club due to his behaviour?

    Other players aren't the point.

    Again, why is it being discussed if it's a "non-argument" as you say?

    I agree FT I would be concerned on his price we need to ensure we are not paying a lot of money for players of his age. Another person for mick at Carlton you would think.

    He kicked 4 goals in the last quarter of a final against Geelong to get them into a prelim or grandfinal I believe.

    It's gone down as one of the most incredible individual efforts in a quarter of football. And it was a final.

    Are you having a laugh mate?

    He was really devastating to the that clubs culture wasn't he....

    Jesus Christ.

    Sooooooo they're thinking of trading him why again?

    They're looking to trade him because of his bad influence on the clubs culture.

    I just can't fathom why people are then trying to argue he's not bad for club culture.

    Amazing.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
