Profile

Shuey has been a handy fantasy player from the moment he stepped on the park but is yet to establish himself in the top tier. There were a few coaches keen on him at the start of 2014 but he had a rocky first half of the season while also missing a couple of games. Things turned around from Round 16 onwards where he averaged 105.8 and the question is whether he can keep up that momentum going in 2015. Luke is still only 24 and has come off a career high season for disposals, it wouldn't take much to push his average beyond 100 but I fear his inconsistency will continue to be a stumbling block. Probably one to look at more in draft competitions.

Pros - Still has room for improvement, goal kicker

Cons - Can be a rollercoaster


Prediction - 92-96

I believe he will again sit in that bracket of quasi premium midfielders. Is an absolute game-breaker at full-flight and is slowly becoming harder to tag. If he can get his body 100% then look out. Still think he's a year off really exploding into elite fantasy premo status if he ever does!

Good write-up mate!
