Rhys Shaw to Sydney for 3rd Round Pick

[Lakeside Legacy]

SEN has just indicated that the Swans have offered up our 3rd Round pick for Rhys Shaw ???

Swans also receive pick 61 in the exchange as part of the deal

 

[MF]

Mixed emotions from me on this one. I've never really liked Shaw much as a person or a player but he did improve this year and we got him at a very reasonable price.

We'll just have to wait and see how he goes I guess.

 

[wantfrieswitthat]

Diggin it

 

[mule]

Pretty handy player IMO

 

[4TH GEN SWAN]

Great. That's all we need. Another player that can't hit a target. FFS.

Would have much preferred Corrie from Brisbane with our 3rd pick, instead Collingwood got him for pick 93, which was their 7th round pick.

I just hope he can improve his effiency rating, and keep him away from Jonno Brown when we play Brisbane.

 

[Sanecow]

He's younger than ROK, right? Doesn't that put us closer to a Premiership by bigfooty logic?

 

[spuzzlord]

personally, im not happy with this trade. not for logical reasons, but because i've always disliked him cause he plays for the pies.

but hopefully he has a great year and i learn to like his ugly ugly head

 

[Rhino5]

I have no idea how this helps us.

 

[Hooley McBoob]

Oh, is he ugly? That's not good news

 

[Hollow Knight]

It was Lynch that made Shaw fill his dacks.

he's 27.... a little older than desired but at pick 46... hardly is costing us anything

personally i rate him higher than what alot of you guys here do

luvin' the pick

 

[Jabso]

You'll be surprised with his performance I think. He is not soft, he is pretty tough and will put his body on the line when needed. Not very good with one on ones though. Disposal is pretty bad, he can hit targets but when he misses one badly it affects him and his next couple of disposals are just as bad. Very good tackler and good contester (just not good one on one, if he has to take on 3 or 4 his 2nd and 3rd efforts are fantastic).

Do Sydney do trades for the sake of it? Rhys Shaw is good at times, but pretty poor at times too.

few reasons

- you don't have to tank to win premierships (ala 2005)
- 3rd round pick is hardly costing us anything... so why not?
- and according to roo's... we can't afford to bottom out

Mark him down for either a B&F or to win a final off his own boot for you.

That seems to be the way with Pies players going to Sydney

 

[BIGBEZ]

Im not a fan of his footy, but he was pretty cheap, hes a nice bloke too, so Ive heard.

i'm expecting him to do a paul medhurst

often maligned at his old club.... but then do a 180 when he switches clubs

his 2008 form backs his potential and capabilities

I hope so, I gotta stop bagging him now, hes a Swan...

Yer, thanks for that, I was aware it was Lynch. I was trying to make reference that he didn't like the big bodies running at him as Jonno is pretty much the last of the Gladiators, with BBB.

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


A SHAW BROTHER....(one step closer 2 heath)


SOPHIE GOT A COLLINGWOOD BOY

I LOVE RHYCE IM SOOOOO HAPPY WE GOT HIM & AT A GOOD PRICE!

HES JUST WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW ESPCIALLY WHEN LEO GOES!

HES FAST 2!

AND I LIKE HIS HEAD!

 

[Hooley McBoob]

Sounds like a squib. Where is he going to fit in with Kennelly, Mattner, Malceski and Bevan?

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

he may play on the wing do a bit of a goodsey and run through the middle

hes gonna be good

Roos will turn him right around

hes just under the pressure of Heath

Im excited hes really what we need

and hey cheapy 2

 

[ssfc0203]

Lol, same.

He was my Collingwood punching bag.. now I have to find another..

 

[tintin]

he is 27 in a few days. i am furious right now.
3-4 years time he wont be playing afl and we have given up an opporunity to get a decent player.
rubbish trade.

if we get jibbed in the okeefe deal thats it. i dont think ill respect sydney much anymore, they consistantly trying to take short cuts to success at the expense of the team. everitt was the biggest mistake we have made by far. if anyone tries to tell me we needed a 2nd ruckman bullshit. look at other struggling teams; carlton, richmond, essendon all have one ruckman. i compare sydney to these teams as we were around their mark at seasons end, probably below them. except to lose to these sides next year, remember rhyce shaw isnt the answer no matter how good he plays for his remaining years at sydney.

 

[grimlock]

I am very un-Shaw about this trade.

Thank you, I'll be here until 2pm.
