Matthew Shir (born 12 September 1981) is an Australian rules footballer who played with the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).[1]
Shir, a defender, was drafted by Adelaide from the Murray Bushrangers of the TAC Cup, although he was from Benalla originally.[2] He was hampered by groin injuries during his time in Adelaide.[3] At SANFL level he played for Glenelg.
Richmond secured him in the 2002 Rookie Draft, but he did not make any senior league appearances.
From 2004 to 2009 he played as a midfielder for Wodonga in the Ovens & Murray Football League. He won three club best and fairest awards and was a member of a premiership team in his first season, winning the O&MFL medal for best on ground in the grand final.
