Player Watch #11: Luke "Two Dogs" McDonald (Part II) - Roo til end '26 - 2023/24 co captain w/ Jy

[Devington]

Tick. He got super fit in his B&F year, time for old mate to challenge himself again.

I'd suggest for starters he put away the 10 second long windup on his left at training, and trying to eliminate it as much as possible in game too. A bomb like that has it's place, but not every second disposal.

 

[Samsquanch]

Said he needed another week or two till hes ready, and when he does its to stay.

Luke is playing VFL for atleast a fortnight and then will need to force his way back in.

As it should be. It’s up to McDonald to prove he can contribute at AFL level. No more gifting games

So will Larks or Sheez be captain for opening round?

Souve

Larkey and Sheezel and maybe Bailey Scott if he plays will be the only members of the 2024 leadership group actually playing in week 1.

 

[zoomba23]

Probably says it all that I read 'probably Larks and/or Sheez as captain' and immediately feel more buoyed about leadership personnel than at any time last year

….soooo… what is your point?

Hope he kicks 10

I live for the day one of our own gets to 13 and we can forever replace that soundbite in our heads.

Thirteen! THIRTEEEN!


Sorry, had to.

 

[zoomba23]

Sorry, had to.

That wasn't very nice

 

[DuckYeah]

Sooo, medically retired players from concussion are now paid outside the TPP…. Can we find a loophole?

You're not planning to dong one of the co-captains with a cricket bat are you Duck?

At times he’s that frustrating that theres a part in me that wants to boot him right up the backside. But I was more thinking the club fraudulently alter his medical records to reflect sincere concussion symptoms

Well, you've blown the secret now. Damian Barrett would be on to it like a rat up his own drainpipe.

IF...

Luke McDonald is retired with lingering concussion issues ...

THEN...

You can be sure that DuckYeah concocted a deception so sinister, by convincing the club to fraudulently alter his medical records to reflect sincere concussion symptoms that the club should be forced to lose every game this season by 30 goals or more if their opposition take the matches seriously.

Being positive, wouldn't we then get the first draft pick?

 

[King Sheezel]

I don't think he deserves to be Captain of our very proud footy club.

His body language and performance simply don't reach the level required.

I'm sure he's a very likeable guy, but it's not enough.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

White sheet time.

 

[rickety]

Needs a seat on the wing so he can ball watch from there like the rest of us.

 

[Reagan Smash]

I didn’t even know he was playing until he went for his first bum pat

 

[BRider]

Invisible..

 

[leighlee13]

Seeing players become far from their best is a tough watch but he brought nothing to this game with his 9 possessions. His stupid 50m penalty didn't help either.

 

[amaz199]

Wouldn't be playing if Goater wasn't injured but not sure what his role was. Was he on Walters?

I also don't get the rationale behind screaming for the ball when we're trying to find our way through their wall and then bombing it long to an outnumber.

Anyway he did apply defensive efforts as he always does so there's that... meh game.

You'll miss the "McDonald" when it's gone

 

[King Sheezel]

Being a great bloke and bum pats doesn't mean you're a leader.

That's why I think player votes on who should be Captain is very flawed.

 

[Garibaldi82]

Is a detriment to the growth of this list
