Heath Shaw looks to be going to GWS in a trade for Taylor Adams. Looks like a win-win but it'll be interesting to see if Heath can keep his nose clean during his purported $700K per five year contract.
He's going to get super frustrated with some of those young fellas, we will see fireworks in the GWS defence next year!!!!

I think Sydney, Carlton and one of the Adelaide sides were interested. Those massive contracts are extreme but I think it's something that we'll have to consider ourselves to lure the big players over if we run out of homesick sandgropers.Don't know why they'd lock him in for 5 years, and at that salary??
Haven't heard too many clubs lining up for his services...
yeah probably. he's got serious onfield discipline issues, though, so it'll be interesting to see if GWS can keep him focussed. having his brother nearby will help but then again, the last time they were in the same town, they got up to hijinks and one of them had to change clubs.GWS won't be competitive for 2-3 years, and they are crying out for a couple of good kicks. He should go ok.
GWS are so poorly run.
Always thought the Suns would prosper and the Giants would fall flat. I'm sticking by that.
not even in the same leaguethey got scully and the suns got ablett
what are the boards thoughts on the Hawks topping up again?
Pretty interesting - they are definitely going for one last roll of the dice. Their midfield is getting pretty old, they just lost Buddy, there would have been a temptation to go into a full rebuild.
If GWS can nab a few more of the on-field ilk of Shaw & Mumford - I'll go out on a limb here and say that they should win more games than they did in 2013 at least.
1 more established premiership player and i'll take a punt and say..... 6 games in 2014.
Geez if you replaced gws with Fremantle in that is sounds a lot like our early history!They'll be worse than the Bears. Not that I remember the Bears.
And it's not because they're in western Sydney. The population and patronisation, along with the token Canberra games, could keep them stable. Their admin is just terrible. Kevin Sheedy is batshit insane. Ablett doesn't grow on (God's) trees, but they never had anyone remotely great from the get go. They have seriously butchered their chance.

I was at the preseason game gws played against essendon this year at Manila and really was surprised by the number of fans dressed in orange. They've marketed themselves in Canberra well.GWS will be OK. Short term they are struggling from the lack of experienced quality players. But Mumford's a good get and maybe even Shaw will be good for them. He's overpaid but that won't matter for a few years. Medium and longer term they actually have a better base than the Suns. The Gold Coast is a graveyard for sporting teams (and arguably any serious endeavour). In contrast, Canberra and Sydney's west will be more loyal. People need to see the Canberra crowds in context. From a quality point of view the games have been shite - not a single decent side has played the Giants at Manuka - and yet the crowds are already on a par with those the Raiders get. I also think Cameron is the right man to guide this stage of their development. The club knows that the way to win respect and support is on the field and I think you'll see a visible transition from the Sheedy stuff to Cameron's more serious approach.

Minus the draft concession of course.
Who messed up with Jaeger & Martin??
I realise this, hence my question to Kaney - who was implying that GWS had some sort of say in the matter of what happened with them?GWS never had access to Jaeger or Martin. They had to trade the picks, they weren't allowed to use them.
