List Mgmt. Shuey an Eagle for life

Does the timing of this signing have anything to do with the new deal the players association announced last night. We'd be able to give Shuey the money he deserves.

Sherlock Holmes on the case.

On 6PR it sounded like this was agreed in principle a while back and I think it's safe to assume they just wanted the CBA to be finalised before committing

Won't be surprised in the slightest if something similar happens with Gaff on the not too distant future- perhaps not 4 years like Shuey but an extension beyond 2018 for sure

Would have been a RFA at the end of next year and would have commanded a fair bit more than this

Don't think there'll ever be any doubt how much he loves the club and he's remained true to his commitment very early in his career to be a one club player
Especially when you look at all he's been through as a teenager and a young man, it's very hard to not love the bloke.

Hearing him talk last night on 6pr he sounded very pleased and loved his time here ever since he moved over, said he is great terms with the club and felt they have been generous with him. He was in a great mood and having digs at Karl, he said it'd be a great honour to captain the club and something he'd look back on with great pride if he was given the opportunity but also spoke highly of the job Hurn was doing as captain (who i think has stepped it up on field recently and has spoken well publicly and seemingly frankly and honestly to the playing group privately).

He said he was also sweating on that MRP review all weekend, hopefully it doesn't affect him mentally come this weekend and slip him into his shell (maybe that will be counteracted by his extension though!).

Glad he signed, but don't like 5 year deals. Would rather have paid more per year for a 3 yr deal - the number of WCE players who don't drop off a cliff after 30 is very small...

He got a 4 year Deal. He'll be 32 when it ends so it's not too bad as most player play decent footy at that age.

except at WCE... thought it was to the end of '22 - 5 years from now? So 4yr extension and still has a year left on his deal? Maybe they're trying to get ahead of the next tv deal...

This CBA also runs until the end of 2022 so that may have been a factor
