Shane Savage (born 5 January 1991) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the Hawthorn Football Club, and St Kilda Football Club in the Australian Football League.
Born in New Zealand, Savage moved to Australia as a boy.[1] His father is Māori and his mother is European New Zealander.[2]
Savage was drafted by Hawthorn from the Dandenong Stingrays with the 75th selection (5th round) in the 2008 AFL Draft.[3] He plays as a medium-sized midfielder and wore the number 21 guernsey at Hawthorn.
Savage made his debut against Adelaide at the MCG on 14 August 2009.[4] He had four kicks and three handpasses and also kicked a point.
Savage was nominated for the 2011 AFL Rising Star after Hawthorn's round 8 game against St Kilda. He had 26 disposals, 14 marks and kicked 2 goals in Hawthorn's 30-point win.[5]
In the 2013 trade period, Savage was traded to with Pick 17 for ruckman Ben McEvoy.[6]
Savage made his debut for St Kilda in round 1 of 2014 against and became a regular in Alan Richardson's lineup.
By the 2020 AFL season, under new coach Brett Ratten, Savage could no longer maintain a spot in St Kilda's best 22. He was delisted after the 2020 season, his last match for the Saints being a semi-final against Richmond.
In January 2015, Savage' partner, Sarah, gave birth to their first child, a son.[7]
