Heath Shaw

[bachar43]

I've seen many teams on the forum, none of which have Heath Shaw in the Backline. Do you guys think he will be on the decline this year ?

I'm kind of confused between Shaw, Heppel and Broughton.

[Spinking]

Of those you've mentioned, I'd lean towards Heppell. Shaw and Broughton have serious history of being a rollercoaster in terms of DT points. They will both produce good scores from time to time, but its the other weeks that turn people off.

[Jukes]

Totally agree with spink. I rode the Shaw rollercoaster last season and it was horrible, and I'm sure it was the same for Broughton.

If Shaw can regain his 2011 form and hit a 90 average (+8) he would be a good pick, may monitor somewhat pre-season.

Heppell is a lock for me though at this stage. Mid-80s first two seasons, with more midfield time this season a very good chance to go 92+.

Shaw is always an upgrade or even never a possibility in my team. Been burnt a few times with him.  :P

Heppell will be a safe solid pick for any side. Reckon he could pip Grimes for a spot if he has a good NAB outing.  8)

Shaw is an idiot, he will do something stupid or get 'Injured' every year

Well yeah.

 With unlimited trades he may be worth a punt,, then when he puts $10 on some stupid bet and get suspended for 6 weeks you can just trade him out without to many problems..
  Hes much more a SC player, personally wont be touching him in either comp.
