Trade Week - Offers and Confirmation

[swans song]

Shaw
2007 season
Was arguably in career-best form in the first half of 2007, playing the first 10 matches as a dashing defender including hauls of 30 possessions against Port Adelaide in round four, 26 on ANZAC Day and 25 in the round three triumph over the Tigers. Unfortunately injury again cut him down, with a severe hamstring injury sustained at training restricting him to just four more games ? the last four of the home-and-away season.

Career
Now a seven-year veteran of the club, the son of former Magpie captain Ray and brother of team mate Heath has played 74 games. Unfortunately each time he has appeared to be reaching his full potential, namely in the first half of both the 2005 (knee) and 2007 (hamstring) seasons, injury has cut him down. A dashing defender with excellent skills and an ability to read the play and propel the Magpies forward, he is one of the most respected players at the club and a member of the leadership group. Will be keen to enjoy a full season at senior level in 2008.

Draft history:
1999 AFL Draft 2nd round father-son selection (Collingwood) No. 18 overall

Good to see we have picked up a rising 27o with injuries

[Donners]

Played 20 games this season, averaged 20 possessions but scored just five goals.

According to ProStats, he made 114 errors last season, including 16 in one game.

94 games, 20 goals, 9 Brownlow votes over his career

Problem solved, pace in the midfield

[Xie Shan]

If we pick up the 27 yo Rhyce Shaw then delist the 28 yo Nick Davis I may have a little titled Stellatantrum, I shall name it Forever Uncomfortable 'Cause Knowledgable Yobs Only Understand Really Obvious Old Stereotypes.

RWOPOTY nominee #2

[Matt79]

Good trade IMO for pick 46. Will add some pace and run.

[DST]

Some more trades:

Farren Ray and pick 46 to St Kilda for pick 31.
Anthony Corrie to Collingwood for pick 93!

Good deal for the Saints.

Cheap and easy, worth a go. My friend just had a violent reaction to the whole thing but worth a go I suggest.

We could have kept Spriggs for that!!!

[NMWBloods]

Ryce Shaw is now a Swan

Yuk!

[stellation]

We could have kept Spriggs for that!!!

Would provide a fair degree more eye candy than Shaw too!

[Donners]

Geez, players are going for virtually nothing so far.

[ScottH]

Brings the excess baggage of Uncle Tony's Big mouth.

[CureTheSane]

Reasonable deal, has some pace and can play midfield.

A swap of 15 places is basically for nothing.

DST

Awesome trade.

This is an absolute killing for the Swans.

I didn't realise I was your friend Damien....I just about vomited on the spot when I read we have picked him up. Theone player that really annoys me outof the whole competition. He epitomises the whole "sporto" ego thingy for me with his strut that has no substance behind it. Vomit,Vomit,Vomit

[satchmopugdog]

We could have kept Spriggs for that!!!

Agree..Spriggs is equal if not better than this turkey
