James "Jamie" Shanahan (born December 6, 1967) is a former Australian rules footballer.
Early career
He played with Hobart in Tasmania, then also spent some time with
St Kilda
Picked up as a late pick in the 1990 AFL Draft (pick 92), Shanahan spent two seasons with St Kilda's reserves before debuting in 1992 with the St Kilda Football Club. He was a tall, solid defender and was valuable to the club. His peak came in 1997 with the Saints when he performed brilliantly at full-back, however during the 1997 AFL Grand Final he suffered from goal onslaughts by matchwinners Darren Jarman and Shane Ellen.
Melbourne
After the 1997 season had finished, Shanahan moved to the Melbourne Football Club due to the Saints not granting the then 30-year-old's request for a long-term contract. He played out his career at the Demons and played his last game at the end of 1999. He played at Full Back and did not score any goals in his career, only 5 behinds, 1 in 1996 and 4 in 1997.
