    Gotta say I'm pretty relieved Libba is fit and firing right now. No way he allows any BS bully shenanigans.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

      Yeah we certainly walk taller with him in the side. We need more like him as we can’t get walked over just because he’s not out there. Naughton, Bruce and Wally also help.

          Heath Shaw was the classic example of someone over-aroused and not able to cope with the occasion. He did kick a very good goal in the third quarter that we should have been smart enough to make sure never happened, but apart from that, he was a complete mess.

            Besides, Heath Shaw can actually play.
            GWS will miss him, depsite his in your face approach he has a very good footy brain
            Perhaps in any other year there might be a couple of clubs keen to get him into a development type role

            I never really liked him but I respected him as a player

              Poor Heater, may he be forever vexed by being unable to get both hands on his 'precious'.

              Even better, while Shaw's spitting all of the dummies the bloke in the foreground who tormented him is, as ever, all business.

                I mean, taking on Libba, Clay *and* Pickers?

                You really don't wanna die on that hill Heater.

                Oh that's right. You did.

                  I'm sure he will regret missing out in 2016 and 2019, but he did still get to play in a flag in 2010 - as well as two All-Australians and a GWS B&F in his 325 games. Like GVG, I never liked him but I did respect him and I will always remember his meltdown in the prelim.

                    At least there's one thing you can say about Shaw - unlike his Giants teammates, he has a flag.

                      Doesn’t he have ADHD or something of that nature ?
                      I actually grew to like him , extremely good footballer and a character, what footy needs . Was passionate about football, his game and the team and even though we hated him for his grumpy outbursts he gave 100% and what supporter could ask for more ?

                        And as much as he shits me, he has an absolutely iconic grand final moment.

                          I'm the same. Great player and I love the intensity he brings, also great fun to watch because he is nuts. Also doesn't have the same entitled vibe combined with malicious dirtiness that the worst culprits at that club have (Greene and Cameron mostly).
                          I should leave it alone but you're not right

                            Biggest clean out in history. Surely they can't all leave.
                            North would win the next two spoons if he goes, maybe more.
                            Cunnington would be their captain if he spoke, which he doesn't (naturally quiet guy). He's an absolute workhorse and if he left it would be sheer lunacy.

                              Sadly it seems his back is not good, I can see that as the only reason they would get rid of him.
