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

The bolded bit hasn't happened yet and is (imo) unlikely to.

Let’s hope u are right … but we showed everyone our hand too early .. how desperate we are for Parker

I swear he requested a trade to us

Yes but we went publicly saying how good he’d be for us …multiple multiple times

I’m aware of that, which is why I asked. He’s got nfi when it comes to what we are offering unless he’s asked Brady we also haven’t offered what he claims, yet he is saying his “mate is right”.

ITK mate is allegedly from a third club. FFS. Not a hill I'd be prepared to die on.

The club has said goodbye to Parker, lol

There is no showing hands when a 300 gamer is extending his career. FMD...

If that one comes true he'll probably get both right. Because the only thing I can imagine turning LDU's head would be more coaching turmoil at Arden St.

Jesus he was talking publically about how sad he was that his late dad wouldn't be able to see the success they are all about to achieve. That's not the words of someone who is thinking about moving, and it's definitely not the context where you'd bring something like that up flippantly.

Getting a bit ****ing bored of the doomsday predictions tbh.

One thing I know is that Luke loves his mum and his mum loves the club. Something the club has made a priority in recent times is to really embrace the families. I don't think Luke would have any intention to leave, he's incredibly loyal. But if the dynamic of Senior Coach/Head of Football/CEO/President was to change, then that might have him consider his options.

I believe that LDU will stay. And I hope he does. The saints news is just media talking.

Either way, and correct me if I'm wrong, Luke's a restricted free agent. The best possible compensation we'd get for free agency is pick 2 (if we finish last). We can simply match his contract, then ask for the world to get a trade done if he really wants to leave. Sure there is the risk of walking to the draft. But then he'd potentially be stuck going to Richmond or interstate before getting to the saints.

The only thing linking him to St Kilda is the approximity of their training venue to his mum's house.

And their endless desperation chasing around any quality midfielder coming out of contract.
