West Coast skipper Luke Shuey will be available to face fierce rival Hawthorn on Sunday after being offered a fine for tripping by the Match Review Officer.
Shuey’s left leg collected Carlton onballer Ed Curnow’s shin and foot in the dying stages of Sunday’s 22-point win at Optus Stadium – the Eagles' sixth victory in a row.
MRO Michael Christian assessed the incident as Intentional Conduct, Low Impact and Body Contact, warranting a $1500 fine down to $1000 with an early guilty plea.
Shuey lifted after a quiet opening against Carlton, finishing with 16 disposals, seven tackles and four inside 50s – including a laser-like pass to spearhead Josh Kennedy during the third term.
Clutch midfielder Dom Sheed was best afield in most pundits’ eyes and collected the perfect 10 AFL Coaches Association votes for his 26 disposals, nine clearances, five score involvements and two goals against the Blues.
Star ruckman Nic Naitanui received eight votes following another influential display featuring seven clearances and 41 hit-outs.
Elliot Yeo (two) and Tim Kelly (one) also received votes from the Eagles’ seventh win for the season.
Naitanui sits fifth on the overall leaderboard with 40 votes, trailing Lachie Neale (72), Christian Petracca (50), Travis Boak (47) and Jack Steele (44).
He is the only Eagle inside the top 20 midway through round 11 of the 17-game season.
