has been a consistent DHinvolved in the drink driving,lies,threatening taxi driverson field ,blow ups abuse.racial abuse,reckon I could upset him with some well timed baitsthis man is not likely to help OUR clubyep lets get himooops forgot,we now have a sensible person in charge

I see Colin Sylvia as his obvious mentor.

Shame we no longer have Beamer. He could teach Heath how to urinate against a bar or two.

A veteran, repeat offending bad 'boy'. Like we need one of those!

He's not a bad boy. He just gets naughty from time to time.

In fact, a package deal including Shaw crossing over with Didak could introduce the young impressionable lads at the club to the cultural mores of the Geebung Polo Club and other similar fine establishments.

Seriously though, we've seen enough of Shaw to understand why Bucks needs to rid himself of this element.

Ridiculous! So we'd say no to Dane Swan, Buddy 'everyone's heard the rumour of 3 strikes' Franklin or Tom Liberatore.

This club is turning a corner with the recruitment of a coach who may not be the best tactician or the best strategist, but one who is certainly the most inspirational and able to instil a belief in players. The best running half back flanker is on the market for the cheapest price you'd ever get and we're saying no he might hurt the culture. **** we're weak! Back our coaches to do their job and put him in line and we pick up our second top need at a 3rd round draft pick.

Yes yes yes yes yes

Nope. He is not a free agent, therefore we would need to give something of value to get him. If we could get him for free or very very cheaply I would be all for it.

I'm of the belief that Melbourne supporters on here greatly exaggerate these 'issues' that Heat Shaw supposedly has.

There's been absolutely nothing other than speculation to suggest that he is on the outer at Collingwood. Why is it that when it comes to an article written about an opposition

player, people take every word as gospel? Yet if there's an article written about Melbourne or a player for the MFC the same posters will take that with a grain of salt?

I just read from the words of Dale Thomas himself saying that the only problem he has at the club is that 'he cares so much'. I would kill to see our backman speaking to one another with the same passion

Heath Shaw seems to speak with. He cares about the jumper. Wow, he had a brain-fade last weekend and gave a goal to Port for getting angry with Monfries. How many times has Lynden Dunn 'acted tough'

on the field only to give pointless free-kicks away. He offers less than half the output of Heath Shaw when it comes to his value to the team.

In the end, I don't care if we go after him or if he stays. The point remains, he is a very good player and people on here seem to completely exaggerate these issues.

Ahhhh Steve, doesn't want Daniel "Instant culture" Cross who will cost us nothing, but does want Heath "Culture cancer" Shaw who Collingwood have said they'd want a first round pick for....

Great stuff, champagne comedy.

Jesus you pea-brain, go back and read the Cross thread and you'll see that I am all for getting him to the club.

You concentrate so hard on trying to make everything comical that you seem to miss these things though.

Really? All I can see in that thread from you is you arguing about stats.

We actually have no idea. It's all speculation. It seems like his personality is more difficult to manage than some other players.

The rest is pure speculation.

There's another Cross thread floating around it seems.

Gotcha. Retract my comment about you not wanting him then, sorry about that. I was going by the "main" thread only.

For the record, I was highlighting his stats to show he is still playing well, not to say he's as good as Jones.

Posted

he's a very good footballer, but he is a DH and not what we need right now, and we have more pressing areas in out team to address atm.

Yes, I completely understand what you were drawing out of a stat like that Stuie.

What do you mean "stat like that"? I posted a comparison of about 15 stats between Cross and Jones... Which one in particular are you talking about?

source is purely word of mouth. for those that demand a source.

Jeezus Steve and Stuie, give it up. Now you've gone and got Bitter into the exchange. Kiss and make up (not that there's anything wrong with make-up Bitter)

Posted

He may be a DH but he's a DH who can play football. Would definitely have him if the opportunity presented.

Roos will have a no DH policy at this club. Shaw is a DH...no thanks.

Are you sure Soidee. Go through that Premiership line up and he transformed the careers of at least 3 budding DH's

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
