Although I loved him, I was pissed off with Shaw and his stupid bloody antics in that final against Port. We needed real maturity and strong leadership, not self serving hissy fits that cost the club. I'm still pissed off with Shaw for digging his own bloody grave when we needed him to stand up.   |

I know this sounds weird but Swanny has actually shown far more intelligence and maturity than some of the other bloody idiots who have left the club recently. He is a different cat but a very wise one. |

Yeah, Heath Shaw was a great player. I'll never forget that smother in the 2010 GF, but... He became more childish as time went on, rather than growing up and taking a true leadership role. The guy was a heart-breaker at the end. He had to go, for the sake of the team. |

No player loved the Pies more than Heath but he was a clusterfux of biblical proportions in the end. Very sad to see him go and sadder still for the circumstances he left under but there really was no alternative.
I mean really, everything would be sailing along fine and then something or other would get under his skin and he would explode with toxic abuse.
Used to give me flashbacks of my first wife watching his tantrums  |

Heath Shaw was his own worst enemy. He had the opportunity to remain a magpie for life but stuffed it up with his own stupidity on the field after having many chances to learn from his mistakes. I have very little sympathy for him, given that most of us would have given anything to have the great honour and rare talent to play for mighty Collingwood. Anyone who sees him as a martyr has rocks in their head....

| Laz agreed my dad was 5 foot 1 and a Presbyterian Scot in an era where you had to be a bruiser and Catholic unto the 5th generation to wear the stripes but he would have given his right arm and left stone to don the colours for even one game! |

So true. I hate the way players take it for granted these days, and even knock back fantastic opportunities to play for our great club.

| It's the Americanization of our culture Laz. Instant gratification, suck everything out of it, discard it and move on to the next, just like a swarm of locusts. |
