Jamie Shaw (born 19 February 1966) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Preston in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) and Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
A former Keon Park player, Shaw made his VFA debut for Preston in the 1985 season. He became a prolific full forward, and in 1986 won the VFL's leading goal-kicker award, now known as the Jim 'Frosty' Miller Medal, with 145 goals, including eighteen goals in one match against Camberwell.
In 1987, Shaw moved to Fitzroy in the VFL. In his debut against Geelong at Princes Park and equaled Max George's club record of five goals on debut. From just six kicks, Shaw managed five goals and a behind, helping Fitzroy beat Geelong. He would play only one other game for the Lions, and returned to Preston at the end of the season.
In his second stint at Preston, he was the league leading goalkicker on two more occasions: 1988, with 105 goals, and 1990, with 103 goals. In a now unofficial match against Sunshine in 1989, he kicked a career best 19 goals – the match was an official VFA game when it was played, but it was retrospectively annulled after Sunshine dropped out of the league midway during the season. He also kicked 15 goals in a match against Camberwell in the same year.[1]
By the time Shaw retired form VFA football at the end of 1993, he had set a record of 673 goals for the Preston Football Club.
He was later a prolific full-forward at North Heidelberg, winning the Diamond Valley Football League leading goal-kicker award five times, including a league-record 161 goals in 1994; and finally at Corowa-Rutherglen in the Ovens & Murray Football League.
