Shae gave an interview on Sen a few weeks ago

In it he said that he had wasted the last 3 years and was pi$$ed of at the way that Collingwood FC treated him in 2012 , and that he would write more about in his book.

This thread will infom more on the Shae Collingwood issue

I've read a few things from Shae.

One stated that he came over here and expected to make it big. superstar like.

the second read that he found training with Hawthorn a 'breath of fresh air'.

Over inflated American arrogance shining at its very best if you ask me.

I have read some of his comments on facebook, and his training with the Hawks and such. But I wish him all the best in getting to the NBL, I might even tune in and watch the league if he was playing in there.

I hope to see him at Aurora Stadium against the Hobart Chargers when the SEABL season kicks off.

What a load of rubbish.

"I wish I'd had the opportunity to at least fail or succeed and I never had that."

He got 3 more years of opportunities than most aspiring AFL footballers.

Writing a book !! PMSL maybe my 3 yr old should write one.....she's achieved about as much.

Shae mate maybe its time you accepted that it had nothing to do with opportunity and more to do with just not being good enough.

Go ahead take a swipe but in that case, but don't let the door hit your giant head on the way out.

I think somebody nailed it in that bigfooty thread with the "big fish in a small pond" comment. I think Shae underestimated the size of the pond and overestimated the size of the fish.

I'm not seeing what the issue is. He didn't make it so he'll try his hand at basketball. Good on him. Smile

There seems to be a tradition that if you get cut by Collingwood, you spit the dummy. Maybe it has something to do with the goldfish bowl. I can't remember Leigh Brown or anyone else get upset because they were cut by North Melbourne. but Brian Taylor, Len Thompson, Phil Carman and the unfortunate Mr Macnamara all let the world know how they felt.

The test for Mr Macnamara is, did anyone else pick him up. Sadly no. Like many other hopefuls he must take the long trudge back to where he came from. It ain't easy, so spare a thought for him. Here's hoping for success, Shae. Best of luck.

Shae had ample opportunity, much more than many and in the end he just was not good enough to make it, sad that he seems to feel he needs to blame others for his own failings.
