Shuey V Heppell

[EagleCanival]

After a polarizing rising star award which has divided people in half. It gets me reminiscing about the 2011 Rising Star year which saw Shuey and Heppell as the outstanding candidates. Which raises the question, which footballer would you currently prefer to be wearing your clubs colours?

Here's a look at their 2015 numbers
Luke Shuey
24.1 disposals a game at 74.2% efficiency (14 uncontested. 10.4 contested)
6 clearances a game
21 goals
22 goal assists
3.5 marks
5 tackles

Dyson Heppell
25.7 disposals a game at 70.7% efficiency (14.5 uncontested 11.4 contested)
4.9 clearances a game
13 goals
5 goal assists
4.9 marks
4.8 tackles

Luke Shuey is probably my favourite player that doesn't play for Essendon, however put a hard tag on him each week and I think you would see his numbers reduced significantly.

He gets a hard tag most games.....
Shuey is more damaging and gets it around the same so answer is pretty easy.

This has been done to death. Heppell.

Really? I've only seen him receive some really close attention for extended periods of time against Essendon, Melbourne and Richmond.

He's basically the only player that gets tagged from our team.

 

[WCEbrody]

Shuey has had the better season.

For a player that only gets 24 Disposals a game, he is incredibly damaging.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Shuey - far more hurt factor than plodder Heppell

 

[Marley10]

Heppell, but I'm pretty sure both sets of supporters are happy with their respective players

 

[Ambrosia]

Shuey had the better year but Heppell has already put together an AA season and is 2 years younger which along with my bias makes me select Heppell

 

[blitzer]

Shuey had the better year marginally. All the other years Heppell has been better and he's younger and has better leadership. There's a good reason why Heppell has so many more awards than Shuey even though he's younger. Also lets be real how much easier would it have been to play in the Eagles side this year than Essendon. Over his career Shuey goes missing quite a lot as well - perhaps not this year as much but still I'm sure if anyone cared to have a look at threads on the Eagles board from 2014 they might see some opinions that agree.

Heppell comfortably for mine.

 

[Some Idiot]

I think Shuey is a lot more damaging. He has a great combination of ability to win his own ball, speed and damaging kicking skills. Still think he has more to give though, he should be elite with his attributes.

Heppell. Shuey goes missing in big games

Heppell. Shuey goes missing in big games

Sorry?

Heppell. Shuey goes missing in big games

Nice timing

 

[EagleCanival]

I think Shuey showed how damaging he can be without having to rack up 30+ a game

 

[Always Ballin]

The Judd factor

20 Judd touches are better than 30 Mitchell touches

In the stat-centric society that doesn't matter though.

Seriously though Shuey had about 23 or so? And Mitchell had 35. The difference between their two games is astronomical.

Disposal count means **** all, it's what you do with the ball, and Shuey was excellent with it last night.

Heppell. Shuey goes missing in big games

*cough* best on ground in a qualifying final against the back to back premiers *cough*

 

[windyhill]

Wow, a poll with Heppell in it and no mention of conca !!!

 

[Schraderbrau]

Heppell. Shuey goes missing in big games

Nice timing

Sorry?

Pardon?

 

[eth-dog]

Pardon?

Having a down game, still contributes with 2 goals

 

[EagleCanival]

Pardon?

Jacobs kept Cotchin to 9 touches. Shuey had 2 goals and more touches.

 

[Lethality]

The answer is Dyson Heppell, the only reason he's not rated higher is because he's in a bad team.

 

[lmach]

The answer is there's only one SHUEY THE ****ING SHUE
