Former Magpies star Heath Shaw scored a surprise home goal, selling his Kew residence for $2.9 million, exceeding expectations.
Shaw played 173 games with the Collingwood Football Club, including the 2010 premiership, before extending his career for a further 152 games with Greater Western Sydney.
The son of former Pies captain Ray Shaw and brother of Rhys Shaw, who 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.

His Kew home was originally listed with a price guide of $2.6 million to $2.8 million, but sold for $100,000 through Marshall White’s Chris Barrett.
But the failure of the auction planned for October took an unexpected turn.
The home’s kitchen combines bold colors and stainless steel surfaces.
An open staircase rises above the living room of the house.
Mr. Barrett declined to comment on the sale.
With a four-bedroom floor plan, the home has a notable heritage as a work by renowned architect Geoffrey Danne, enhanced by renovations during the former footballer’s ownership.
It now boasts a diverse aesthetic, with an open staircase paired with bold colors on the feature walls in the home’s main living area, a motif repeated in the kitchen.
