Thoughts
Shuey improved on his break out year in 2012 to average triple figures (103.4), he had an outstanding year playing the majority of the season and polling 11 Brownlow votes, while Daniel Kerr declared him West Coast’s best midfielder. Shuey averaged 23 disposals, dropping under the 20 mark just three times and also having just three scores below 80, adding consistency to his powerful game. After struggling with glandular fever and other niggles in his debut year, his past two seasons have been very successful. He is a tough young on-baller, who relishes the clearances and contested ball, he knows how to find plenty of the footy and can hit the scoreboard, kicking 49 goals from his 52 matches. Shuey has all the credentials of an elite Supercoach scorer, at 22 he is coming into his prime, already capable of scoring big (seven 120+ scores) if he can rule out the odd quiet match, which were rare even in 2012, he will fast become a genuine superstar.

Verdict
Coming into his fourth season, Shuey is ready to explode. He is already in a very strong midfield that will give him plenty of support, as I said earlier he ticks every box in terms of scoring potential and after just 52 games he is averaging 100+. Granted an injury free pre season Shuey could well step up to one of the most destructive midfielders in the league and produce elite numbers.

Prediction
113

nice one mate

i might consider him in my starting team but unlikely although West Coast should improve again this season should be factored in so that should help him if he doesn't start in my team good chance he will be there when it's complete

[Jay]

Yeah he is in my side at the moment! Good profile

[Speculator]

wow that's quite an impressive profile. Wasn't considering him before reading this but now i just might keep an eye on his preseason. thanks shorty

[quinny88]

Now with 8 mid spots available im strongly considering Shuey as a POD player.
Think he is ready to take the next step

[ossie85]

Shuey is one of those players you don't think of, but when somebody mentions him it is hard to say no...

Very much on the shortlist

[The_Captain]

Just waiting for the year that this guy will explode... Whether or not it will be this year... now thats the question..

[shorty3264]

Good write up.

No, there are better picks out there

[Adamant]

He's also underpriced from his shoulder injury. Very much on the radar.

Going all or nothing with Shuey this year, very excited to see if he can be Danger2.0.

Eagles lurking in the top 4 makes breaking out much easier.
