Shae McNamara Interview

[smiddaz123]

Interesting interview with the big man, thanks to the US Embassy. Definitely worth a watch, quite in depth and some interesting footage.

As an historic week in AFL begins, there isn't an Australian person that wouldn't recognize the name of the Collingwood Magpies Football Club in some way. And for the first time in nearly a decade the Magpies are in the big dance. As the Grand Final draws near the Embassy was lucky enough to sit down with the only American on an AFL list, Shae MacNamara, who has been playing for Collingwoods VFL team.

It was a good watch. Shaes the sort of likeable guy you just hope succeeds.

 

[Zahki]

Hope he gets a game next year, seems like he's worked pretty hard this year considering he had absolutely no experience with the game before coming over.

I unfairly judged Shae when he first arrived thinking he was another loud mouth yank....

Just watching that makes me see how wrong I was....

 

[Plogs]

I have never understood the obsession with Bratwurst.

 

[MAGP1ES]

Hope he makes it to the AFL some day.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

He's got a great attitude, should get him far.

 

[handy point]

Managed to squeeze a "yeah, nah" in there too.

That baulk and goal in the first Vic Park game vs. Willy was a ripper...

Wanted to bump this because it got a bit lost with the amount of new threads! Hopefully everyone gets a chance to watch it. He's a top bloke!
