Has retired West Coast great Luke Shuey handed over the No.13 to a youngster?

The retired skipper posted a picture on Sunday of Long in front of the locker with Shuey, with Long’s name now on the front.

Long, 19, would join Scott Watters, Josh Wooden and Chris Masten in wearing the guersney.

Remarkably, the small forward finished equal ninth in the John Worsfold Medal count on Saturday night after playing 19 games in his first season at the Eagles.

Drafted with pick No.58 last season, Long is one of several young Eagles hoping to take the club forward after claiming just their second wooden spoon in their history.

He wore the No.44 in his maiden season at the Eagles, which was vacated by premiership small forward Willie Rioli after he was traded to Port Adelaide.

Nic Naitanui’s No.9 guersney, also worn by former captain and Brownlow medallist Ben Cousins, and the No.25 worn by premiership captain Shannon Hurn have also been vacated after the retirements.
