This week's 'Week at Westpac' features Collingwood defender Heath Shaw and his housemate, Pete Mann, composing a list of their top 39 characters of all time. 


1.    Simon Katich - We refer to him as the junkyard dog.  Always has dirt on him, wears an arm guard, chest guard and oversized helmet and grinds out runs on a consistent basis and is the best Test batsman in the world. Also loves cooking but has no taste buds!

2.    Paul Chapman - Always performs in big games, has a shiny baldhead, first picked every year in Supercoach/Dreamteam (even before yabby) and wears plain black boots.

3.    Paul Roos - Most relaxed human in the world. No chance of going grey. His press conferences are gold and just a genuinely funny man.

4.    Homer Simpson - ‘I am so smart, s.m.r.t, I mean s.m.a.r.t.’ Enough said.

5.    The Joker - The greatest movie character ever. ‘It’s simple, kill the batman.’

6.    Jose Mourinho - Nicknamed himself  ‘the special one’.  Has never lost a home game at any team he has managed!!! Not bad.

7.    Bomber Thompson - Drives a Tarago to Melbourne games. And not far behind Roosy as the most relaxed man in the world.

8.    Hot Danish - Backed it in its first start and has not failed to deliver since.

9.    Damian Wright - Played only 5 Sheffield Shield games and came second in the league best and fairest! Also refuses to field after bowling.

10.    Rhyce Shaw - Life of the party.

11.    Shane Warne - Had the greatest mullet in sport. Bowled the greatest ball of all time and loved tormenting the English.

12.    Cesc Fabregas - One of our favourite players, scores goal at will even scoring 2 goals with a fractured leg 20 min before being subbed off.

13.    Ralph Wiggum - “me fail English , that’s unpossible”
                                      “ hello supernintendo Chalmers”
                                      “it tastes like burning”

14.    Alan Thomas - Best race caller for me. Makes Brisbane races interesting. Responsible for some super calls.

15.    Nash Rawiller - Refuses not to ride winners.

16.    Simon Prestigiacomo - The human glove, the comb over, the hairy tricep. See the ball punch the ball.

17.    Glenn McGrath - Greatest fast bowler of all time, makes comments like “we will win ashes 5 nil” and does it.

18.    Kanye West - Super talented rapper, interesting unit but STRONGER one of my all-time favourite tunes.

19.    Will Ferrell - Classic character in every movie he makes. “Anchorman”, “Step Brothers”, “Kicking and Screaming”, “Old School”, “Elf”, “Talladega Nights”, “Blades of Glory” and “Semi Pro” to name a few.

20.    Bianca Chatfield - The Presti of netball, hardest job in the business (GK) and ambassador for greyhound racing.

21.    Ricky Ponting -  Had a bat sponsorship at 13 years old, the best batsman since Bradman.

22.    Rob Dyrdek -  Pro skater, has had 2 classic TV shows and has 2 dogs called meaty and beefy.

23.    Audrina Patridge -  From the ‘Hills’, No 1 at the moment.

24.    John Daly - Classic sporting character , smokes and drinks diet coke on course. The wild thing.

25.    Carl Barron - Favourite comedian and looks a little bit like Rhyce as well.

26.    Roy Keane - Manchester United legend and text messaged boss to say he quit his job as manager of Sunderland.

27.    Bart Cummings -  Has an incredible knack of finding races that he hasn’t won for a while, enters a horse in it and usually wins it.

28.    Captain Jack Sparrow -  Classic movie character who is funny, strange and unique which reminds me a lot of Rhyce.

29.    Andrew Symonds - Wobbygongs the cricket ball, and goes fishing instead of playing against Bangladesh.

30.    Leigh Brown - Large backside, destroys packs like tenpins and at times too jovial.

31.    Mark Bosnich - Is best mates with everybody of note in the premier league and has a laugh that makes you laugh.

32.    Roman Abramovich - Billionaire Chelsea owner who builds boats bigger than his arch rival just cause he can.

33.    George Best - As skillful off the field as he was on it.

34.    Peter Crouch - Responsible for one of the all-time best quotes. When asked what would you be if you weren’t a soccer player he responded with ‘A virgin’.

35.    Melito - Has the ability to run amazing second places but makes up for it with a super win and nice collect last start.

36.    Adam Goodes - Supreme athlete, unstoppable in full flight and loves giving high fives.
