The Heath Shaw Thread

[Demonland 46,468]

I’m just here for the comments.

Delisted. Wants to play on but only if he can be guaranteed  a regular game. He turns 35 in November.

Cue Darryl Kerrigan.

[DeeSpencer 19,248]

I’ve seen worse ideas, but with Hibberd probably only having 1 year left and a decision to be made on Nev I don’t think were in the market for a 35 year old.

I actually think he’d make sense for North. 

[A F 19,878]

It's a pass from me. In terms of older heads, I'd prefer we looked at Gunston and even Breust before Shaw.

Example of worse ideas

[Wobbly Bob 79]

Shawly not.

[BW511 1,424]

I’d spew if he played for a team I followed.

Is going backwards at a rate of knots

Past it now

The 3rd year of Lewis' contract. Not winding up Jetta and Jones. Trading for Ben Brown. Oscar McDonald.

[dee-tox 3,538]

Some people just don't know when to quit! Let it go man!

[SFebes 4,269]

Definitely past it, so no from me.

[Maldonboy38 4,712]

A very, very, very good footballer whose best is quickly falling behind him. His last half of this season has been poor so absolutely NO for me.

MFC backline coach Heath Shaw

[titan_uranus 18,561]

If this is the end for him, it's a sad finish to what's been a fine career.

If it's not the end for him, I hope he continues somewhere other than Melbourne. His form this year was not good and he is 35.

[The Jackson FIX 1,187]

Don’t agree with those who claim he has fallen/is falling off a perch. His consistency has been amazing.  Their 2nd or 3rd best defender on form in the back half of the year.
 

I wouldn’t get him because it risks upsetting a building dynamic in our back line but form isn’t the reason I wouldn’t recruit him for a year.

[Half forward flank 915]

I thought we should have gone for him when he left the Pies, not now.

[forever demons 1,042]

you are kidding sunshine you are done

[Tony Tea 2,687]

I almost considered making a worthwhile comment.

[layzie 16,731]

Well we knew this was coming, cue the guy saying he'll provide good disposal out of the back half and a cool experienced head. 

No thanks.

And halfway through next year when Goodwin is fired, we can appoint him interim coach, be hypnotized by some improvement in effort, before bottoming out completely in 2022 with him at the helm, and then deciding to trade Gawn, May and Oliver and rebuilding the list in 2023 ?? Shawly not!

While we're indulging in thought experiments, how about: scion of Collingwood royalty, Heath Shaw, coaches MFC to their first flag in decades, with scion of Collingwood royalty, Sam Weideman, kicking his 9th in the last minute to seal the come-from-behind victory. The premiership cup is handed over by new AFL CEO Eddie McGuire.

Surely we’ve done this dance often enough in past years that we can be a little more choosy in the washed up hacks that we pension into our club. 

[Bitter but optimistic 17,429]

Jeezus !!! I just posted on another thread that it's obvious there's no footy atm but ........ Heath Shaw ...FMD !!!
