The fans were again questioning the ability of Rhyce Shaw, who up until that day was coming of age.In 2008, his last year with the Magpies, Shaw had played a successful role, averaging 22 possessions a game in the first half of the season. In terms of sour AFL grand final memories, Rhyce Shaw’s are up there with the most regrettable and replayed. It is a fine effort from Shaw, who will finish his career in excess of 232 senior games. He battled with professionalism in his final years at the Pies and was part of the infamous Collingwood 'rat pack' who stepped out of line on occasion.

After 94 games with Collingwood including the losing 2003 Grand Final, Shaw requested a move north to Sydney at the end of 2008. Shaw is the son of former captain Ray Shaw, and brother of Rhyce.
