Hamstring problems saw Heath Shaw’s 2009 season get off to a slow start managing only two matches from the first seven rounds.

Once fit the running defender became a staple in the back six for the rest of the season.

In his fifth season at the club since arriving via pick 48 overall (father-son selection) in the 2003 AFL draft, Shaw produced career-best numbers averaging 23 disposals per game.

Adding a string to his bow this season, Shaw’s work rate on the field was impressive, collecting 167 running bounces for the year which led the league.

His ability to move the ball quickly out of defence forced his opponents to play accountable football.

Shaw’s best patch of football emerged during the finals which was acknowledged by the coaching staff with the Bob Rose Trophy (tied with Nick Maxwell).

Career
The son of former Magpie captain Ray and brother of Rhyce (former Collingwood player), Heath has enjoyed a wonderful start to his career after being selected by Collingwood under the father/son rule in the 2003 AFL Draft. Impressed in the final six games of the 2005 season after debuting in round 17 against St Kilda, Shaw then enjoyed an excellent 2006 season, finishing equal fourth in the Copeland Trophy voting and playing every game bar round one. That year he was also awarded the Gavin Brown award as the club's most courageous and the Phonse Kyne award for services to the club, both awards testament to his undoubted leadership capabilities. His ability to take his game to another level in 2007 was a credit to a player determined to make the most of his opportunities.  2008 was a difficult one for Shaw after a club imposed suspension for an off-field incident after round 18 saw him miss the remainder of the season.  Rebounded strongly in 2009 and was one of the best Magpies in the finals (Bob Rose recipient).  Averaged a career high in disposals (23.0) and finished third in the best and fairest.
