[Heaps of fun]

As the video shows, the kid's got a lot of balls.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I look at him smile and think, 'I couldn't be happier than him if I met Shigeru Miyamoto'..

Well he is TwoDogs so four balls wouldn't surprise anyone.

what is the reference to the nickname twodogs? i get the silver one..

 

[Twinkletoes]

what is the reference to the nickname twodogs? i get the silver one..

It's the name bestowed on him by his Native American tribe back when his father was Chief.

Why do you ask?

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I thought it had to do with having a nice pair of puppies ...

 

[Pykie]

Been solid, literally has another 3 gears in him though, and I'm not taking the piss when I say that.

Have seen very little overlapping run and carry, very little ball forward of center, and about 2% of it has been midfield minutes, where he really shines.

If he hits form, will win the award.

 

[nelroo]

Why do you ask?

Why not?
Curious..

 

[Kimbo]

Why not? Curious..

You remind me of a young warrior. Not unlike Luke McDonald, son of the (ex)Chief of Football, Donald McDonald.

Have a listen to Gerald ******* Healey's interview with LMac (on the North site). That was the laziest, most condescending piece of irritable s*** interview I've ever had the misfortune to listen to.
Especially getting to the end where you could just hear Silver thinking 'Why the **** is this bozo asking me this for?"

My thoughts exactly, the tone of the interview came across as if they were almost winding him up the entire interview.

Pretty average for mine, but Luke handled it well.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Luke got his Rising Star nom against Gerard's little team.

Add to the fact he's a bellend, then you get interviews like that.

Yep, I wrote this in the NMFC mentions on wireless thread.

Na, have a listen, you'll get a fantastic idea of how media training and a naturally well spoken and thoughtful young man can make two supposed football "commentators" sound like the stupid, ill prepared, boof-heads they are.

 

[Augustine]

There is a much better interview of Luke on the website now.

As confident a kid a LMac is, he's probably just finding his way, doing the team first things. I suppose it's like the new boy being trown in at short leg. Luke has to stay back and mind the fort whilst Mullett and Atley launch attacks.

When he settles in properly and feels at home as an AFL player I suspect that we will see more offensively.

 

[Heaps of fun]

We should start him forward on Saturday so he can finally get those first goal jitters out of his system.

 

[Deddy]

Luke has slotted in so well, but I can't say I didn't see it coming. Defensively he has been outstanding, he hates to lose and you see that in every single contest he's in. Just wait till he comes out of his shell and then you will have both Mullet and McDonald launching 55m bombs at goal.

You can just tell how much he loves it, it's a joy to watch him.

His love of the jumper was worth the first round pick.

You cannot manufacture what he has.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Better. And. Better.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Better. And. Better.

:20 seconds to go. Tackles a guy, gets hurt. Gets up. Goes again. Throws himself to smother a kick. Gets flattened. Doesn't give a ****.

Should win the Rising Star in a canter.

Absolute stud.

In the back ground as Drew kicked his goal going nuts. Bleeds Blue & White.
