Toast Luke Shuey is Incredible

[The Passenger]

An emerging Shuperman and a firing Kerr, Naitanui and Cox will make our midfield seriously goooooood!

gotta start working stevens into that mix as well....

 

[swannies]

Was anyone surprised he won the ace in the watermelon comp at the club, as per the Eaglevision show today?

 

[The Passenger]

if i pick up tonight with the line "I wanna put my ace in your watermelon" will that be enough to make me eagles number 1 ticketholder next season??

 

[maxrm]

I'm getting worried.

You'd think the the Shue would be a 'shue' in for a rising star nomination.
27 disposals, 3 goals and 146 SC points is pretty much impossible to look past.
BUT. The Vic's could easily go for Tapscott following 2 strong games including a B.O.G for a losing Melbourne side this week after being narrowly pipped by Heppell for the round 1 nom. Or they may go with the son-of-a-gun Libba junior following a 28 disposal game.
Shuey had the best game. But I've got a really bad feeling he won't get the nod. I think I'm gonna be really pissed off come Tuesday afternoon.

 

[eagles rule]

Is that a bird or a plane...? no it`s Shuperman ..

 

[run2dmax]

Don't worry if he doesn't get the nod this week. He's got another 20 awesome performances ahead of his this season to get his name up there.

If you walk away with only a slap to the face, you should be No 1 ticketholder!

Just prepare yourself, because it'll go to Libber jnr! Just preparing you.

 

[anti_]

its not like its a big issue if he doesn't get it.

i'd rather he doesn't, so it gives us all something to whinge about.

 

[Mattman93]

Yeah it'll go to Libba you'd think, largely because of the name.

 

[leca9]

Anyone catch that moment latish in the match (like 3rd/4th quarter) when shuey received a handball near the boundary on ports halfback flank side?

--> Shuey was about to get tackled and fires out one of the quickest handballs i have ever seen - geez hes got quick and great hands - brilliant.

One thing he has that a lot of our other young mids don't have is poise - this is why i worry about masten...

 

[Underrated]

Awesome game from the Shoeman.
A word of caution though, at 20yrs with only the 8 games under his belt, its a massive ask to perform like that week in week out. I think Priddas and Kerr are very important to Shoey's game development as they provide the grunt work and support, also to take the tags and let the Shoe off the leash.
So if they really need to stand up to let him do his thing

If the judges take into consideration DT/SC scores in deciding who to nominate then they should just hand over the responsibility to the main board of BigFooty...

Why, what does the main board say? Libber was in a careering away, lead from the front all the way win. Shuey's was 3 goals, 27 possies in a tighter (shouldn't have been but was) contest.

 

[shoe]

All of you guys blowing your loads already.... well, this is why we can't have nice things

 

[bodazoka]

I got both of those guys in my SuperCoach team... go me!

Statistically Shuey had a better game, but it will go to Libba because the blokes that vote on it dont like giving it to kids who are still eligable but have more pre-seasons on the new guys.

Nothing to do with Shuey vs Liberatore specifically, but each week there is 'Player X got 85 in DT' vs 'Player Y got 90 in SC' etc.

Fantasy sports have ruined people's abilities to actually judge players on what they see with their own eyes. BOG on the weekend was Shuey or Embley. I don't need to know exactly how many possessions each had or their clearance numbers or their efficiency or whatever this year's favourite stat is - I watched the game.

I watched a bit of Heppell today in the Sydney/Essendon game. Looked to read the play well and made a couple of well timed spoils and interceptions. No idea what his stats were other than he got 80 for my DT, but I can see why got nominated last week.

/mini rant.

Channel 9 footy show this morning gave votes to Embley, Waters, Cox and Gray. Zip for Shuey - barely rated a mention.

From all accounts Libba had a very good game today which followed on from a pretty credible round one performance in a team that got flogged. The nomination will go to Libba and barely an eyebrow will be raised outside WA.

Yep, know what you are saying.

I doubt anyone on the panel actually watched the entire game...

Shane Crawford was responsible for it but probably watched the highlight package and read notes prepared by someone else.

Highly doubt he watched any of it. He wasn't looking forward to the game, he said that himself, and later when they were previewing the WB v BL game he gave his tip for the Syd v Ess game, was too busy reading the paper to notice what they were actually talking about. Ah, that's where he got the best players from, of course.

Do not understand how these blokes can get paid to do what they do

Agreed, hell we could set up a panel of BF posters, as much as I take the piss sometimes, that would be more inciteful and knowledgable.

 

[Vyzz]

Considered they had Shuey listed as kicking 2.7, I doubt ANY of them watched the match.

 

[kane249]

We were such long odds as we hadn't beaten Port at AAMI in 13 freaking years. Considering we play there pretty much every year, that was a shocking record....

For those who remember it, was also the game a young kid by the name of Ben Cousins emerged for us as a match winner and won us the game in the last quarter with 2 key goals.

Kids just good at everything. Thats my new favourite show.
