Heath Shaw trade

Hindsight is convenient.
Shaw got what he deserved for being an ongoing OOC / undisciplined dickhead.
He owes Buckley for saving his career but lacks the guts / grace to admit it.
He is/was "a chip off the old block"; His father Ray a bloody talented player who spat the dummy onfield regularly to the team's disadvantage.

Funny how the “undisciplined dickhead” will probably by round 6 of next season have played more games than any Collingwood player, ever. And averaged more than 20 games per season over a career that has already spanned 15 years.

Adams will still be running around on the MCG long after Shaw has retired.

That alone wins us this trade.

Pendlebury will take the club games record and out last Heater

Next year will be Heater's last season.

He was close to retiring at the end of the year, before deciding to commit for another season.

Had GWS won the GF, Shaw may have given it away.

Len Thompson should have played his 300th in black and white. Crying or Very sad

Paul Williams reaching 300 at another club also hurts. We may have gone a step further in 2002 had he stayed.

Was he a part of that deal? Well there's always an opposite reaction when you change things in the past.

"*Note: In 2000, Collingwood embarked on a convoluted but ultimately successful trade week that does not make sense in the list above and is better explained by an article published on collingwoodfc.com.au on Wednesday 13 September 2000: Paul Williams was traded to Sydney for pick No. 8 and No. 39. Pick No. 8 was then on traded to Fremantle for Brodie Holland, James Clement and pick No. 22. Mal Michael and pick No. 22 was traded to Brisbane for Jarrod Molloy and pick 44. Pick 44 was then on traded to Geelong for Carl Steinfort. Ricky Olarenshaw and pick No. 39 was traded to North Melbourne for pick No. 37."

"No one really took notice of Collingwood's decision to chase two players who had fallen out of favour with Fremantle's then coach Damian Drum and the Dockers' acceptance that they were happy to take a mid-range pick as compensation. ...

Clement made his intentions clear when he first came to Victoria - and Victoria Park.

He told the Herald Sun: "I don't think that (Damian) Drum and I saw eye to eye. A lot of guys have left (Freo) and had actually reasonable to good careers. I hope to be one of them.

"I think it could be a case of probably (some) guys don't get the best out of themselves in a two-team town where there is a lot of worshipping of footballers." "

You could argue that there were many other ways of trading with Fremantle for Clement.

And maybe we should have held on to Mal Michael
