On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 35th of 41 of the 41 centre-backs in the A-League. At 34 Shaughnessy is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 6.7, Shaughnessy carries the 35th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the A-League of 41. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 21–27 (~0), then tapers with age. At 34, Shaughnessy sits on 0.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Shaughnessy's projected Rating — 6.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
