Just not going to get involved with this thread, said I would back him in this year.....oh the pain..... 
Consider this thread an invitation/reprieve to be constructive
Ok, so I used to have a real go at Shane because he wasn't consistent, made too many unforced errors and looked lost in just about every position he played in, he was also easily thrown/bumped/outworked off the ball. He has been like this for most of his career bar one season, the season before he was injured.
Bring on 2013.....He has played very well up until about 3-4 rounds ago when he has started top revert back to the old Shane, inconsistent, clumsy, looking out of place in an AFL side..This is why I made the comment years ago that he would just not make it and that he is only in the side to fill the numbers.
Players like Vlastuin, Conca, Ellis, Arnott, Houli, Chaplin, Etc.. have joined the club and have had more of an impact.
I think Shane has reached his peak, if we can call it that.
I think if we were offered a trade at the end of the year for Shane and he agreed to it, I think it's best for both parties if they parted ways. Shane's "quick hands" is all he has going for him at the moment and even that is letting him down now.
He either needs to lift his game or be dropped to Coburg to try and reinvent himself as a crumbing forward (where he should be left)or a decision needs to be made at the end of the year.
This is merely my observation.
