Player Watch #11: Luke "Two Dogs" McDonald - Roo til end '26

[Donkey Chop]

I love McDonald

 

[gokangas]

Doing ok. Plenty of hope.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Best game for the club tonight IMO

 

[Ry009]

Loved the shiteater in the first quarter, has a bit of c*** in him that we desperately need an abundance of.

 

[tazaa]

Gun. Love him. If I saw him out in the streets and someone arked up to him Id clip the bloke without thinking.
Bleeds for the club more than we do. We need more of him.
Fast catching up to Ziebs as my favorite. Kid has played 9 games.
In fact I find myself being drawn towards Luke and yelling at Jack.
Tonight was a clear example on how we cant carry Ben, Levi, Spitta (an underdone one even worse) and Ziebs in that midfield. Cunners got it 15 times and Id rather he have it 30 than Levi or Jack. We arent playing to our strengths as a team.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

You've got balls, kid.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Big, brass, nuts.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

probably his best game tonight.

 

[The Nostradamus]

So much courage. What a man

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Luke Hodge.

Its uncanny.

 

[HongKongRoo]

Very very good game from two dogs tonight. Courage and calm under pressure. Very impressive.

 

[kelman]

His best game yet. Covered for teammates in the back line, composed, courageous..... Great stuff.

 

[Arden]

 

[trooroo4life]

Luke Hodge.

Its uncanny.

This.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

He is a rock. Kid is a kid. Played only 11 games.

 

[Donkey Chop]

Brave as they come. His team mates must love him.

 

[The Ardent Army]

Hodge / Archer-esque
Looks a natural leader out there. Plays for the jumper.

Going nicely - has met huge expectations head on.

 

[roodav]

Was just hoping he would get to finish of that long run he had at the end, still managed a goal assist to Petrie, but a first goal would have been nice.

 

[Deddy]

Looks like he's been playing for 5+ years, it's crazy.

Courage is unreal too, would be the first to drop back into the hole and he's played 11 games. Champion.

 

[Mullett]

This weeks rising star... No doubt

 

[marklovesbeer]

may as well leave this here too...

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Yep.

That was the first game I said damn.

 

[Gasometer]

If that had been Jack Ziebell......

Nek Minit 6 weeks suspension.

 

[Gasometer]

FWIW we need to have a sticky megathread now for Luke McD post father son Twinkletoes

 

[ozzyoslo]

I have to say that Luke tonight reminds me how my 12 yr old plays soccer.........seriously! Im not talking about that particular bump but the tackle, to the next tackle, to the next. Majak needs to view Lukey's highlights reel so far this year...........
