Premiership Player
Veteran Giant delisted but keen to play on elsewhere
Greater Western Sydney axes 34-year-old defender Heath Shawwww.afl.com.au
I'm sorry to see him go.
I liked him as a player at Collingwood and was delighted when he joined the Giants.
He's been great for us and I wish him well.
Shaw a great servant of the club
Sad to see him go as I have always been a fan. What a record as a giant.
So many holes down back... we have three options
A) back in the youth
B) recruit individuals to fill the spots
C) back in the system and make adjustments as needed (eg transition)
it will be an interesting ride

Would have been good a few years ago but his kicking has well and truly gone and we've just gotten rid of one turnover merchant back there in M Williams.
I thought he had a good year this year after looking cooked at various stages last season. Fantastic one on one competitor. Rarely beaten.

Saints are heavily into Taranto according to Matthew Lloyd and Caro.
We will need to lose one of the mids, we are too slow. If it was Taranto as a contracted former Pick 2 and Club Champion they would want to pay an absolute bomb. Minimum would be 2 first rounders.

Everyone would want him, don't think we'll give him up
I would be happy enough with two first rounders and for us to try to get up high and try to get Will Phillips who is an absolute jet.

It would be something like 13 this year - pushed back to 16 by FA compensation picks, then pushed to about 20 by academy matches. Next year, with TT in the side, it would again be high teens before any FA compo & academy matches. No-one on their list - that they're willing to trade - nets them a pick any earlier.
That would be a terrible result for GWS!

GS it’s all speculative, the club could come out tomorrow and shut it down but I would say the actual number in regards to Next Gen and Academy matches is irrelevant as those players selected are unavailable.
We have previously garnered picks and targeted a specific player. A guy like Phillips could play round 1 next year and would be a contributor. I love the way he plays, it’s with a lot of purpose and he also has agility.
We could insist of two first rounders this year whereby they would have to engineer another and then use that collateral to trade up to the pointy end.
I like the idea of moving one of the high profile mids on as we are two samey samey and get frequently exposed. Not saying it has to be TT but it does need to be someone.

It would have to be two high first round picks for me, I'm talking a top 5 and an additional top 10, won a BnF in a grand final team at 21, only down this year because of the awkwardness with his return (No practise or reserves matches) and contracted or a Marshall/ Clark with a 10-20 first rounder.
But I'd much rather lose Hopper, Ward or Cogs than TT

I also make no secret of my Taranto love so feel free to let me know if it's coming off as rose tinted glasses, but I'd trade Kelly before Taranto, even with TTs down year this year I can't explicitly remember a game where he was bad rather than bad as a consequence of the team being bad, if that makes sense. His consistency and repeat efforts are second to none in this midfield, a lot of our other mids I agree are one dimensional, that's why I want to start using Green, Caldwell and O'Halloran more through there as players with different PODs, but Taranto plays like a future captain of the club and is someone I see as essential now and going into the future. Much like I wouldn't trade Taylor unless we're getting ridiculous value, I'm not trading TT unless we're getting a similar quality player (comparatively if they play a different position) and a good pick/s

I agree with most of this except the JKelly bit. Kelly is probably our best player.
I can't imagine that Taranto is gettable at any price whilst contracted.

Also. I don't think we are anywhere near as one dimensional as being advertised.
Cogs and Taranto especially aren't the dour inside only players they are being represented as at the moment. Cogs up until last year was a really clever and creative player .
Taranto provides excellent run and is pretty dangerous in the forward half.
Kelly and Whitfield obviously are anything but inside only types.

This is clearly just a hypothetical considering Taranto isn't leaving, but if he were to request a trade, how does Zach Merrett sound as a replacement? GWS already have a ton of inside mids so that won't be an issue. Merrett would complement your midfield very well as an inside/outside player with great skills.
Some reports state that Merrett may be displeased with the club so he could be gettable for opposition teams.
I clearly wouldn't want to lose Merrett, but if both players want out, then this can be making the most of a bad situation.
