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

[TennisPlayerAndy]

It's in the genes.

Daniel and Troy Menzel (ACL)
Mitch and Nathan Brown (ACL)
Jack and Dylan Grimes (hamstring)
Adam and Hamish Hartlett (hamstring)
Blake and Nathan Grima (ACL, hamstring)
Joe and Darcy Daniher (I have no idea of the specifics but Darcy had to retire and didn't Joe miss all of 2011?)
Raph and Xavier Clarke (all sorts)
Kel and Andrew Moore (no idea but both have had significant injuries, Kel had to retire)

Did Chris Tarrant have any shoulder issues?

If only they were related Daz.

Terrible for the lad, absolutely terrible, the clubs have a slight win though, one of our clubs was going to risk a pick, how high, no one knows, but we would've been shattered to recoup the Selwood loss (not taking Hansen into account btw), only to have it come back to bite.

Terrible story all round though, feel for the two of them.

Some club will use a late pick on him.

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

Yeah righto, righto..........where does the title at the top of this thread say Troy ***ing Menzel??

Take it to the trade thread, this is Duke country.

We'd be crazy not too. Kid is waaaay too talented to pass up. High risk, very high reward.

I hope we do. He can play round 1 2014 with the Duke*

*that was for you teff.

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

The Duke disapproves!

Last comment, as to not evoke Teffy's wrath.

I didn't imply the kid was dead.

He will still go in the 20's imo.

He just isn't in the frame for #14 anymore imo.

Maybe Holly did her knee.

The Duke has been picked to play ruck rover on Sunday.

Do you know if Fox is televising the game mate?

 

[north_mate]

on a related note, Jmac's brother has been listed on the interchange for Oakleigh

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

It doesn't look as though the game is televised.

The TAC website has an online stream.

Cheers will definitely have a look .

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

He's probably 80-82 kgs right now.

80kgs? He looks much lighter than that.

He's listed in the TAC grand final guide as 188 cm & 80 kgs.

Still growing then....

 

[Chron]

He's listed in the TAC grand final guide as 188 cm & 80 kgs.

Yeah, its scary, Hes 80kgs as bottom age, compared to some top age players just above 70.

He could honestly be around 85kgs+ next year, compared to Brad McKenzie who is listed as 76 at the start of the year.

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

Yes Tron & Chron, with a bit of luck we can pad him out to 85kgs by the start of 2014.

I hope to christ his coach does play him as a ruck rover on Sunday.

He could have 40 possessions.

 

[GarnerSmash]

190cm/88kg's please.
