Peter Shaw should be running the water or manning the boundary for the Corryong Demons.

Instead, the 61-year-old finds himself playing senior football for the small town 120 kilometres east of Albury-Wodonga.

With the 2017 Upper Murray League premier's numbers plunging as low as 14 this season, the retiree has been called up twice by senior coach Evan Nicholas.

"I've played a few quarters and am quite happy to help out," said Shaw, who is affectionately known as Bert Einstein.
