The guys on the main board are harsh geez couldn't believe what some were writing
It's Collingwood, of course they're going to bag us. I find it quite funny. They're obviously scared of us and think that by bagging us it will make them feel better. Our time will come and we will be right there laughing in their faces!The guys on the main board are harsh geez couldn't believe what some were writing
I told him that by becoming a Collingwood supporter he now hates Carlscum.Has anyone told Bretigan that any person who follows any team exept Collingwood are scum ?
Good luck to the kid, tell him we're all rooting (baracking) for him bretigen. We should get shae to follow pendles around 24/7 and learn what to bring over from basketball and copy his kicking action.
i honestly cant see him getting a game as a ruckmen. Maybe if a few of our tall fwds go down.
Is there any reason for this needless pessimism or what?
I really hate it when people try to see the negative in absolutely everything.

who said first year?dont get me wrong im excited about the prespect of him playing. I'm convince that he wants to play in the seniors for us he seems determined. But lets face it not all international rookies can do what marty clarke did in his first year.
and on the topic why the hell does every say that everytime i post a negative comment? thats like aprox my second for the year! I always look on the bright side. Having said that i wasnt being negative.
There is no reason to be too conservative about his first year. Yes it will be a development year, but I see no reason why he could not debut this year. Mike Pyke the Canadian for the Swans has shown its possible to go from a foreign sport to senior AFL within a year. He was not great but showed glimpses in the ruck. When comparing Pyke to Shae Mac he puts Pyke in the shade in terms of athleticism and has far greater upside.
Having said that, all of a sudden our rucks look hard to break into which was hard to imagine 2 years ago and Mick Malthouse may be cautious in how he uses him. Mick does however have a policy of no excuses & if you can play a role effectively you will get a game no matter who you are.
At some point during the year injuries will open up a position (fwd or ruck) & if Shae is going well enough at VFL he may get a game or 2 this year. It is then up to him what he makes of those oppurtunities.
If he keeps attacking his development the way he has been I have no doubt he will make it.
3rd oldestTrue Him and Pyke are Simmilar,
Also remember Shae is 24 our 2nd Oldest Ruck so I can also see some late games as a Possiblity
I find it kinda funny how alot of people (pies fans) were giving him (edited word), but as soon as the club signs him, they jump on the bandwagon!
Hi,
Yeah! No, the band has plenty of room. There really wasn't anything to show off on Shae in the begining, now there is. Now you can see what I see. And, keep in mind that he is a Pie now, and I am hoping Pies stick together.
