Luke Shuey: Deck of Dream Team 2011

Name: Luke Shuey
Club: West Coast Eagles
Position: Centre
Bye Rounds: 5 & 15
2010 Average: 73.8
2010 Games Played: 6
Predicted Average: 85

Why should I pick him? Firstly because he’ll be at a discounted price, meaning he’ll be cheaper than other player who are valued at the average of 74 as he missed heaps of 2010 with glandular fever. He did scratch together 6 games where we played 3 at the start and 3 at the end end of 2010. He is a great DTer and scores well with his top 3 games being 105 (21d, 8t), 85, 81 with 2 of those scores coming in his last 3 games. When fit, he is in WCE best 22 and will certainly go up in price this year.

Why shouldn’t I pick him? He’ll be an expensive rookie, despite the discount. If you are looking at a pure cash cow them a straight up rookie would be a better bet.

Deck of DT Rating. JACK – he will go up in price cause he will average more than the 74 he has next to his name so far. Expensive ‘rookie’ with 6 games under his belt, proven DTer and in the WCE best 22. He has a lot going for him in 2011.
