News Herald Sun article on Luke Shuey

One complaint with the article...



I'm not sure I'd use those two words in a sentence together.

You can put Priddis's name in bold too. He's well in front of Priddis. Kerr's probably still better but Shuey is right there with him.

Love the SuperShue!! Watching games from early last year and even NAB cup, Shuey never really went in looking for frees...
He would go in hard and usually come out the other end with the ball and without sticking his neck out for contact...
I really hope he goes back to this, this year.. He is a far better player than that...

I agree. Needs to cut the playing for frees out of his game.

Adversity creates character

I hope that he has a scorching 2013 season!!

Would also be good if he didn't go around belting blokes this year.

Would also be good if he didn't go around belting blokes in the vagina this year.

I don't mind it tbh. Obviously, we don't want him missing too many games and with loadings for repeat offenders, it's not a sustainable long-term strategy, but a bit of hostility and physicality isn't a bad thing. We don't want teams thinking they're going to have an easy time against us.

I always thought Lewis Stevenson should have just belted someone. It would have forced him out of his shell a bit and he would have realised every fear he'd built up in his mind wasn't as bad as he'd imagined. I think it would have improved his game.

Anyway on topic, it's always good to read a positive article about the Eagles, but this one is a lazy bit of journalism. It's basically just rehashing previous articles as well as the Rising Star vid.

I get what you're trying to say, but I'm betting the coaching staff and his teammates do mind him getting rubbed out for 3 weeks of a season.

You're probably right. Put it this way, if I had to choose between a player that's a bit too rough and a player that's a bit too soft, I'd prefer a bit too rough.

Ditto. Would you chose a Waters or a softer player in the backline?

If you ask Melbourne fans they'd rather Jack Watts than Beau Waters.

In fairness, you would be a bit mentally 'damaged' if you had to support such a rabble.

His first goal for the eagles was an Intra Club match at Subi. It was the oldies Eagles v the youngster Eagles. There was a boundary throw-in at the city end 50m arc, Shuey grabbed the ball from the clearance and slotted a left foot goal from 45m out on an acute angle. Time stood still that day...
