Hated seeing him in that pies jumper. 

We got there 1st round pick for woey, tell me who we got with that?

Interesting he and Neale didn't bury the hatchet until 2017. 

But sounds like all is good with him & the club now & loves watching Taj play

 

Coached Aquinas College to winning the PSA this season, dealt with the tragedy of losing one of their players in a tragic car accident. 
 

Loved him as a player, ultra professional who got the best out of himself

I really thought he had a chance as he had a great year running off half back.
I don't think the opposition coaches rated him and let him run free.
That changed after his Brownlow and he struggled with the attention IMO.
Was very professional back then to the extent of diet and weighing his food portions etc which not many seemed to be doing.

Will always remember this running rippa.

The decision to trade Shane took us all by surprise ( shock/horror) one of my daughters actually bought a Pies membership in ‘03 and went to a lot of their games. Sad time.!!

For some obscure reason, Woey was prevented from playing his on ball role after the Brownlow and was forced to play a fixed back pocket or hbf in 2001. No wonder he lost form. By the end of 2002, he had been wasted by MFC.

He, AMac and Powell formed a strong front of ball trio of left footers who could run and kick goals. Still can't understand how the coaching team allowed this to be wasted.

The lads I used to stand with at the G gave him the Brownlow moniker half way through the season. He had a great year.

When Woey was traded to Collingwood I was still in high school. My best friend at the time was also a mad Melbourne supporter and Woey was her favourite player.

When he was traded, she no joke took a week off school because she was so distraught. She was hysterical. 

He used to be my neighbour, and she went to his house and left him a note to say how upset she was he was leaving. It was giving stalker energy. 

I have lost touch with her many moons ago, but whenever I see Taj running around I think of her and wonder if she's smiling watching another Woewodin run around in red and blue.

One of my favourite goals. That and Farmer's one out at Waverley.

Possibly from a prison cell.

I was so [censored] off I didn't buy a membership the next year.  The only year I didn't for thirty or more. Certainly didn't stalk him though.

Same here! Only year in 40 or so that I haven't been a member. At the time someone from the membership dept rang to see why I hadn't renewed. I was narky and said I was going to barrack for Collingwood from now on. She just said "Oh..okay"!

No offence Jaded but I didn’t realise you were that young. When I left high school Viney and Grinter were my favourite players and the great Robbie Flower had just retired after playing his final game against Hawthorn in the famous preliminary final

Not sure if that is a compliment or not 😂

One of the more heartbreaking times seeing Woey traded to Collingwood. 

Right up there with the worst for me, Jackson didn't come close. But Trac to Collingwood would be 20 times more pain than Woey.

I am certain that would never happen.

Not in a million years.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
