Any takers?

 

[mike123]

Hopefully bucks is sacked and he can come back

 

[jsdsgn]

Bucks.
Im warning you.
Dont.

 

[boncer34]

North?

Crisp, Moore, Maynard are all proven rebounding defenders and Noble and Quaynor have better output and are younger.
Why would we want a 35 year old Shaw who basically fell out of favour with the club because he and Bucks dont get along.

 

[Gold Rocks]

Hope he sues the **** out of em and gets all stitched up.

 

[Duskfire]

He has lost a lot of the kicking skill that he had; without that, he doesn’t have much going for him. Why GWS cut him loose. I don’t see what club would draft him. Rebounding defenders aren’t exactly rare.

 

[Colonial]

All the best to him, did so much for us in growing the culture at the club.

To be fair he was told at the draft last year that we just drafted his replacement.

Hope he sues the fu** out of em and gets all stitched up.

Lol how so?

 

[Gold Rocks]

Lol how so?

Could be a serious cut

Norths Big Fish ?

I can see this happening with 1 year playing then moving into coaching with his brother

Shaw n Shaw coaching associates

I wouldn’t be shocked

 

[Giant Strides]

Free to a good home!

Sadly, he obviously wanted to play on and stay in first grade. But it's time for the team to move on, and we couldn't commit to such a promise, nor find a compromise position.

He's been a brilliant servant of a young club, and all the very best to him. We'd welcome him back as a coach if he was minded, I suspect.

 

[THE_GUN]

GWS will draft him as a Rookie imo

Indeed that would be a possibility - the Mummy & Shaw rookie show. Not a rock show.

 

[Giant Pete]

Definitely the right decision. He was great for us as a startup club but we have plenty of young players ready to take over.

 

[Dangerousfield]

Sad than he's gone out ignominiously as a Delist and not gracefully as a Retirement

 

[Guardian Hawk]

I'm surprised he wants to play on...

He stiffly hobbles his way around the field (slowly) like he is 40+ and often jokes about how sore he is, how hard it is for him to get up for games, etc (I know he has an unusual gait anyway but it has been exaggerated lately).

Also posted some banter about being the #1 Shaw for games played and has a flag.

It feel like he has achieved what he wants to and his body has been telling him it is time.

Would love to see him at North Melbourne to support his brother , The presser after the games would be more entertaining than the games

He fell out with Bucks because Bucks’ game plan was crap.

Noble is ok but he’s no world beater and defensively suspect. I’d prefer Shaw who’s more comfortable deeper to allow Maynard to play a more attacking role.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Retire already.

 

[Mojorisin]

Wouldn't suprise me if he went to Essendon if saad leaves

That'd go against everything the club is signalling with asking other veterans to consider their options

With the other vetrans they are trying to cash in what they can but with heath he would walk in for free

But in all honesty if i had a choice of who i would rather Ziebul/Shaw
ill take shaw

 

[BEEG]

Finished needs to retire.
