He played in the 99 Nagambie flag and then in 2000 they got done after flying him back for the GF and dropping one of the fill in FF's who had bagged about 70 for the year. An absolute disgrace and they got rolled.Whippet said:Your post rings a bell junkie. There was a number of rumours circulating around the Shepparton area about the big fellas whereabouts.
I heard a story once about Nagambie bringing him back from sydney for a grand final and paying him a large amount of money per goal. Problem was, the opposition team heard this and offered him double that for a point. Think he kicked about 6 goals 6 points.

I played with the big fella at Ardmona and thought he was a legend on and off the field!! I can remember him kicking bags of goals but the amount he dished off was phenomenal!! he was big on bringing others into the game. i remember him out marking 5 Murchison players and then he would go and stand on the boundary and talk to the boys with his 2 or 3 opponents in tow thus leaving us with spare men everywhere. But my mum would give me a ribbing for picking up his gloves when he was having a set shot hahaha. Also had some huge nights with him at the G.V. and after he knocked off, fair to say we never lined up to get in and always had an abundance of drink cards!! Near on the best player i have played with!!Who the **** do you think you idiots think you are?

Shane didnt play with Leitchville at all but he did spend a season with Gunbower in the early 90's,he only played about 8 games and I was lucky or unlucky enough to play on him once when he kicked a bag on me.He was very tough on the feild but after the game he was a gentleman and bought me drinks and also gave me some great tips as I was very young and inexperienced
Hey Asjskk123,
You are right he played at Gunbower rather than Leitchville. He played more than 8 games though....yep the same except I had the advantage of playing with him rather than against him. I still remember the day he kicked 20 something goals in a game - I think it was 25 goal two behinds but might be wrong.

Good article. Many footy followers may not remember Shane, though he was a real country footy drawcard in his day. Bit like a Saad Saad, people would go along to watch just to see what he could do. Didn't know him personally, those though that i know that do know him rate him as a good bloke.Article can be found here; http://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au/article/2009/07/22/96101_country-footy.html
