Its been years since we've all seen a midfielder win the ball from the middle burst away from the pack and goal from 50 out.

Im gonna say it again. If you like Swift wait till you see Shuey. Will be twice the player Swift is which is damn exciting to say the least.
How classy was his 2nd goal and also his slide onto the floor stand up and kick in the 2nd quarter deep in defence. Star in the making

Yep, the coaching staff rate Shuey above Swift. Though I hope we dont expect him to be an instant star. We have fallen in that trap before..

I have been an avid supporter of Swift since before we drafted him and he continues to improve each time he takes the field but I dont believe the above comparison serves any useful purpose. Each of them are outstanding young players and I for one would love to have them all at West Coast.

For those wondering why hes rated so highly ill give you a run down. Most people ive spoken too liken him to a younger Joel Selwood.
Explosive over the first 3m. Lightning hands in the contest but most importantly hes the most untackable player the club has seen since Judd. When he played WAFL reserves one of the coaches was telling me he shrugged off 4 tackles in a row and snapped it from the boundary, He didnt only shrugg of those 4 guys. he put them to ground and out of the contest. During the very early stages of pre season the boys played a half of footy. Shuey was training at this stage and he gave Kerr a bath.
I wouldnt trade Shuey for Swift. Naitanui and Ebert combined
That Swift kid went allright today....
OMG HE WAS AWESOME!
Loved the rolly polly pick up the ball and handball off in defence, biggest plus for me was he was more then willing to hit the contest hard and really wanted to win the hard ball. When our young blokes get some muscle on them they are going to hurt teams.

Seems everyone at the club does, Masten and Spangher singled out Shuey. Swifts got to put on another 4 Kilos where as Shuey is already at a very playable weight, Swifts still got to work on his kicking but with a preseason of hard running next to Masten and Houlihan he should have a good 2010.
I rate him higher than shuey.

easily the best game of his fledgling career

He does. I think he will end up a 88-90 kilo midfielder but he will never look like a tank because of his height he needs to put on that weight over (3-4 seasons).

Can't believe how harsh the commentators were on Swift, I thought he was great. Good decision maker, good pace, good finisher. His goal on the run was fantastic.
I do not get it but it is prob because he had little junior exposure and they missed the boat. Do not forget he has gone from 16 to afl with no 18 experience.

I rate Shuey
Took him with the second pick in the sponsor draft. Just so you know; my opinion is highly esteemed
