Dennis Cometti can recommend Heath as a Librarian, at any local Library.

Bucks offloaded Heater because he petulantly refused to follow the game plan. The chances of him returning are zero.

Not sure we need to look back with our trading. I would much rather they look to the future with youngsters, albeit a hit and miss strategy.

No chance, already struggling with funds for the minute... don't need to add another player. Plus he'll most likely end up at North for support with the younger players.

I was wondering when someone would remember that the main reason that Heater went to the Giants was that Buckley thought that he was uncoachable. Buckley has become more flexible in the last few tears and Heath has grown up, but it's still an impossible match.
Heath needs to go to a club that will let him play a Luke Hodge/ Sam Mitchell role. I don't ever see him as a head coach, he's too undisciplined, but he has a fine football brain and he would be a good assistant to a coach with a strong enough personality to control him e.g. Clarkson or Hinkley.

 Well said Piesnchess.
Good luck to Heater for whatever is to come.
Shall never forget his librarian moment or him throttling that Port player in the goal square - the two extremes of Heath Shaw  |

I'd like him but my only concern is he likes to be a general - not sure we need that down there

He said that he would've retired at the end of last year if the GWS had won the flag. So it seems weird that he wants to go again next year for some random team.

In the list of players who have played the most games in the VFL/AFL and that we think of primarily as "defenders", Heater's 325 games is behind only Fletcher, Blakey, Doull, Roos, Simpson, Rantall and Enright.
Moreover, unlike, eg, Fletcher, Simpson, Rantall and Roos, he played the vast majority of his games as a champion player in a top team.
Given his age, he is probably done and he wouldn't suit us as a club that needs to rebuild - but let's not pretend that he wouldn't get a game at Collingwood and wouldn't be an immediate 250% upgrade on, eg, Noble.
He would properly be regarded as one of the greatest handful of Collingwood defenders ever to play the game. |

I love Heater. Having said that, these kinds of romantic notions is everything that is wrong with Collingwood. Aside from the fact he was moved on for a reason - a reason that still exists - there's no room for him in our team.
Ask yourself, and answer honestly:
Whom does he replace?
What value would he add? (If there was 'meat on the bone' in terms of potential why have GWS delisted him?)
For me, the answer would be:
Can't see him replacing anyone in our back six
He would add little value and there is no upside - even as a mentor he would be unwelcomed by the current coaching and admin staff, which is why he was moved-on in the first place.
Collingwood (or more importantly their supporters) need to become far more clinical in their attitude and forget these romantic notions. Has Beams taught us nothing!?

Well said Abdul, this club has to focus forwards, not backwards. And certainly not with yesterdays club champions. Yes he WAS a great player..but that time has passed.
No one at the club has owned up to the Beams trade call. Huge mistake that was...these sort of mistakes have to be learned from or we will be stuck in a holding pattern.
