After Tyson Stenglein’s decision to return to Perth at the close of 2004, the 2005 AFL season was a turning point for Shirley.

The team then exited at the Preliminary Final stage. At the Club Champion Award ceremony, he was awarded the Coaches Award.

By 2007 Shirley had added another dimension to his game, registering eight 20-plus disposal games including a career high 30 touches against the Brisbane Lions in Round 21. He still remained one of the club’s most prolific tacklers, achieving a personal best of 10 tackles in Adelaide’s Elimination Final loss to Hawthorn Football Club. and placing third in the club’s tackle count. At the conclusion of Round 5 Shirley won the AFL Army Award for the most courageous act of that week’s matches, for his last-ditch spoil going back with the flight of the ball deep into the last quarter of the Crows’ 1-point loss to Fremantle. At season’s end Shirley’s hard work was acknowledged with his second AFC Coach’s Award.

Shirley returned to the Woodville-West Torrens Football Club for the 2012 SANFL season.
