"But Shae McNamara never got a game at Collingwood, and has since been cut from their list. The American simply found learning the game too much of a challenge – it was too new and too different".

In the video, Shae states he plays AFL and shows him playing footy. Presumably, he was playing in the VFL (one league lower). Probably a little dishonesty from the AFL.

Sorry about that.
