The details:
Name: Will Shaw
Position: Half-back/wing
Drafted from: Bendigo Pioneers/Deniliquin Rams
Height: 180cm
Weight: 70kg
Who is he?
The Deniliquin High School graduate played 14 of Bendigo’s 16 games in 2019, impressing coaches with his speed and endurance on the wing and across half-back. Prior to the Draft on Thursday the GIANTS listed him as a Category B rookie. As a NSW zone player who nominated for the draft, the GIANTS can add him directly to their list after he was overlooked on Wednesday night.
What we say:
Will played most of the 2019 season for Bendigo in the NAB League. He was on our radar but wasn’t someone we considered last year, however given the circumstances this year we think he has some real upside given his speed/endurance combination and his ability to create off half-back. - National Recruiting Manager Adrian Caruso
