    Any other old news your contact can share about him?

      It's hard to believe that something is not going on here for Jude to come out so glowingly of Heath.

      Sounds like we are being groomed...

        Hey Jude, don't sound enthusiastic or Collingwood will hold out for our first rounder. Better that we sound reluctant but as we're good guys wanting to help Collingwood, we can take him off their hands for a third rounder :-)

            Agreed - I'm sure young Heath isn't on his own with this in the AFL and like him or not, he's had a pretty darn good career to date regardless of whatever issues hes faced.

              Heath Shaw's problem isn't ADD. It's that he's an fwit.

              What's going on? We get smashed in a final and our players admit they weren't trying very hard, and now the club is putting out serious signals about Heath Shaw. SEN yesterday was talking about swapping Heath Shaw for Sam Reid!!! Have I fallen down a wormhole?
              The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news

                Yep and lets all remember the reaction to Rhyce becoming a Swan, much teeth gnashing and hair pulling, only virtually from the minute he walked through the door to be one of, if not the most popular people at the club. So maybe we should give little brother a break and just wait and see what happens.

                  The difference was, though, that Rhyce was out of contract and we got him for close to nothing. Heath is under contract and, even if Collingwood are the ones initiating the trading, they will be hoping to get something valuable at the trade table. I suspect the issue is less what he brings to the club (given football wise he is clearly very talented, even if there is other baggage) and more what we might land up giving up.

                    cant agree more.

                    I dont want to pay overs for him - and swapping sam reid for heath shaw is paying overs - but I for one would welcome a bloke to the club if he wants to play for us, be a role model and plays at the standard of his past four years - which is on the cusp of all australian. he is a darned good player and something fair for a bloke with 3-4 years to go im sure could be arranged.

                      I understand what you say Liz but my post was aimed more at the personal attacks, what we end up by giving for him is a completely different matter but having said that, I trust the club to make the right decision.

                        Does anybody seriously think we are giving them Sam Reid for him??

                        As I said before, he is a fine footballer and I trust that if he is in red and white next year that our club has done due diligence...

                          Losing Sam would be such a big mistake! I know he's not exactly dominating right now, but I think he'll come good in time.

                            We just put him on a 5 year contract. I think they can suggest what they like on Big Footy. The Swans will not give up a player unless he doesn't suit their need or needs to go home to Melbourne. I mean the City and not the Club.
                            Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

                              There is no chance we would trade Sam Reid for Shaw he is contracted and there are few players in the competion we would even consider trading him for.

                                Yet nearly everyone here would play Jesse ahead of him. Interesting.
