Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - [C7/J.Ralph] LDU declares he wants to be a NM player for life; '24 SBM - congrats LDU

[My Left Foote]

Like i posted the other day you do come up with some funny posts always enjoy them.

Thanks pupstar

 

[King Corey]

We don't need Tarryn

Couldn't help thinking of him last night.

A 24yo, 189cm classy and skillful, tough, agile mid-forward who can mark strongly overhead too. Knows who to find the pill too.

If he didn't have his "issues" we're talking an on-ball/forward rotation in a couple of years that can mix n' match Zurhaar, Duursma, Thomas, LDU, Sheezel, Wardlaw, McKercher, Simpkin, Curtis as it pleases.

Damn Tarryn and his decisions.

Luke Davies-Uniacke (North Melbourne)


“What an amazing performance,” Buckley said.

“‘LDU’ had 33 and kicked three goals, more importantly. Midfielders that get touches, win clearances, hard balls and stick tackles, that’s great.

“If you can get forward, break the lines and hit the scoreboard, you elevate yourself.

“That was great to see him frank his excellent form and hit the scoreboard.”

 

[Event Horizon]

Yze said post match that he thought LDU was the difference

 

[Harris 10]

Yze said post match that he thought LDU was the difference

I actually said to my young bloke 20 minutes in that it was LDU's game, if Richmond can't shut him down they couldn't win the game.
It was clear early that he was a class above everybody on the ground.

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Top 12 in a team that’s won three games.

Built to win Brownlows in a 10+ win team.

 

[Ligma]

The ability to lose his man and hit the contest with speed is disgustingly sexy.

 

[archereleven]

Clarko needs to reinforce to LDU, Sheez, and Tommy Torp to have a ping if no one open i50.

Much better to reset if it's a point than have oppo run it out when everyone out of position.

On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[KangaRooster]

I've said it before, LDU's kicking action is better suited to long, running shots on goal than attempting to finesse passes while he's on the burst.

He should be looking at the sticks any time he's ~55m from goal and has a step or two to steady.

X incredibly stiff there. Wow.

 

[shinboner magic]

Him staying is a watershed moment for the club.

Think sheez signing up for 6 years was the kick start

 

[Val Keating]

Think sheez signing up for 6 years was the kick start

Yeah that was massive. The way he’s improving it might need to be renegotiated

Another thing about how invested the whole side are in each other - when LDU kicks his first two goals most of the side go celebrate with him. Loving that as much as the great plays

Couldn't help thinking of him last night.

A 24yo, 189cm classy and skillful, tough, agile mid-forward who can mark strongly overhead too. Knows who to find the pill too.

If he didn't have his "issues" we're talking an on-ball/forward rotation in a couple of years that can mix n' match Zurhaar, Duursma, Thomas, LDU, Sheezel, Wardlaw, McKercher, Simpkin, Curtis as it pleases.

Damn Tarryn and his decisions.

For every Adrian McAdams, there's an Glenn Archer.

It's a strange way the universe works, but I guess that's life. Sometimes a highly rated player disappoints or becomes a what-if, and an unknown lowly rated player somehow overcomes the impossible to become a legend.

Media have been pretty bloody quiet for a pretty complete 33 and 3 game.

Dude, you kicked 3 goals last week, didn't you enjoy it ?

Was weird wasn’t it. Not many players have the ability to burst from stoppages and drill goals on the run. FFS LDU, keep bloody doing it.
Could become a great of the game.

My guess is LDU couldn't judge the wind well enough to have a ping.

Our 'fortress' is now making our best player less effective.

Thank god we are not going there too often after this year.

It would be good if we play more at marvel and eventually at the mcg
