Brotherly battles between Rhyce and Heath Shaw have always been fiercely competitive but the latter admits Sunday’s AFL contest in Hobart will be particularly weird.

Rhyce Shaw, seeking to improve his unbeaten record as caretaker coach of North Melbourne to 3-0 with victory over GWS, is now plotting the downfall of Giants defender and younger brother Heath.

“Hopefully that sort of honeymoon period is over (for Rhyce Shaw) this week and we can get the win,” Heath Shaw told reporters on Tuesday.
