Former Magpies star Heath Shaw has scored a surprising home goal, selling his Kew residence well above expectations in a $2.9m disposal.
Shaw played in 173 games with Collingwood Football Club, including their 2010 premiership, before extending his career for another 152 games at Greater Western Sydney.
The son of former Pies captain Ray Shaw, and brother of Rhys Shaw who also played for the team before moving to the Sydney Swans, he also collected the Kevin Sheedy Medal in 2015 and was nominated as an AFL Rising Star in 2006.

He has also been confirmed as an upcoming star on Australian Survivor: Rivals, to be broadcast next year.
His Kew home was initially listed for sale with a $2.6m-$2.8m price guide, but sold $100,000 above the top of the range via Marshall White’s Chris Barrett.
However it did take an unexpected turn after a planned auction for October didn’t deliver a result.
The home’s kitchen blends bold colours and stainless-steel surfaces.
An open-tread staircase rises above the home’s living room.
Mr Barrett declined to comment on the sale.
With a four-bedroom floorplan, the house has a notable heritage as a work by celebrated architect Geoffrey Danne that the former footballer augmented with a renovation during his ownership.
It now boasts a variety of aesthetics, with open-tread stairs joined by pops of bold colours in feature walls in the home’s main living area, a motif that is repeated in the kitchen.
