Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - '24 SBM - [Ch9] LDU's camp 'working hard to get a deal done'

[Friday Night Lights]

His disdain for anyone trying to tackle him is quite hilarious. Basically says “good luck holding onto me, I’ll dispose of this thing when I’m good and ready, thanks.”

 

[shintemaster]

Was that when he slipped? 2nd I think.

Was given one behind play (no slip) after disposing of the ball. Umpires did nothing of course. He gets worn very close for obvious reasons and it pisses me off.

Gets absolutely mauled.

 

[Dingster]

His clearance work in the 2nd quarter was out of this world.
Hated how we dropped away and got killed in the middle.

His first half was superb. As they got on top he tried to too much at times where the simple option would have served us better.

 

[bennymate]

Love him but he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, his decision making can be baffling at times.

 

[RossHenshaw]

He’s almost programmed or has been told to beat 1-2 opponents before he releases the ball . This is very effective when it works out but sometimes I just wish he used the first obvious option .

 

[ChairmanZia]

Good news is he is not injured.

 

[King Corey]

It would be good indicator to see him constantly polling lower votes from both coaches this year to demonstrate his talent is having consistent impact.

5 votes this week. Actually like that better than 10 votes on this occasion.

Knowing look of self touching.

All those holding the ball calls against him in his first 4 years have certainly paid dividends.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Love how there isn’t even a modicum of excitement when this bloke gets 30.

The level that is expected to move the needle is almost unattainable.

 

[footy2016]

Sam Mclure has said LDU is #1 on Saints whiteboard. Will go all out to get him.

Mentioned very loyal bloke however needs to see significant improvement.

Would be a very very big red flag for us if St Kilda of all teams manage to poach our no.1 mid right as he is coming into his peak. Need to extend him ASAP.

This leak from his manager to up his offer suggest we are trying

Our window would be smashed into a million pieces.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Our window would be smashed into a million pieces.

Pack up shop, start lowering all the royal blue flags at Arden, begin hoisting red and green.

It would be a war crime of football if we bungled an LDU signing.

 

[the big lebowski]

He’s 2 games into his existing contract

Relax, it’s a 2025 issue

One thing that would boggle the mind is losing Phillips this year and LDU next year.

Who said either of them are going?

Who said either of them are going?

Certainly not me

 

[Liam Boy]

Really disappointing today. Always looks good when he can get the ball and get separation but when it's not working he's useless. Turned it over under pressure or just didn't get it out cleanly far too often, and offers very little defensively when we're losing the clearance, 2 tackles when their midfield had a day out is woeful. Whenever things don't go their way it totally opens up defensively and they get an easy, clean, unpressured forward entry, and Luke's lack of chase/pressure is a big part of that. Needs a Simpkin, Shiels or Greenwood in there to do the physical stuff, he's not ready to lead the younger guys.

 

[travelli]

I thought he did alright. The close checking today made me realise how crucial he is. He really needs another solid play maker to give him some space.

 

[SMaturin]

Just give the first option every now and again, pleeeeeeeaze.

Mate, as I’ve said ad nauseam- he isn’t a leaders backside! Never been in the leadership group and never will be! Complete fraud

 

[Val Keating]

Was so frustrated watching him being held out of the contest.

 

[Errol Street]

It’s ok he was cruising in the pre season according to a lot on here.
