Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - [C7/J.Ralph] LDU declares he wants to be a NM player for life; inspired by Larkey/Sheez/Jy signing - pay the man

[Dan]

Great news.

And every big signing continues to make clear what a entitled piece of shit that guy from port was/is.

 

[Kanga Glory]

LDU the surfer will ride the next wave to a premiership

 

[gokangas]

Great news but has he re-signed? Contracts not a contract until it is signed. He's suggesting he won't sign until next year. Come on mate - put your signature on the doc now. Otherwise it won't stop the door knockers a knocking and the rumours surfacing.

 

[Jonnoo]

And he made it clear how important the commitments made by Sheez, Jyza and Larks were. The culture is changing.

I reckon it gets done over the break as he'll want to end the speculation to start next year without all the talk.

He’s already contracted. Club and his management will be working on it as we speak.
Stress less gogokangaranger, it’ll get done

[Better Loosen Up]

Not stressed at all - but until he signs an extension it's still an open book.

Nah. It’s as good as done.

I’m sitting in the Emergency ward at the Austin hospital after crashing my bicycle this afternoon . I’ve had an x ray and been told I have dislocated my shoulder feeling very sad for myself. My daughter tells me Georgie boy is out of the bulldogs game. Feeling more miserable so I go to big footy to get the news on George and bingo I check the LDU thread and hear this awesome news. It’s cartwheels along Burgundy Street Heidelberg and all the way home. So excited by this, thanks Lukey your loyalty will be repaid in Brownlows and Premiership medallions

 

[DEVO]

Great to hear, just need to make it official.

You’re right it isn’t signed. But providing the shit doesn’t hit the fan with the teams performance, I think we’ve learnt enough about the blokes character to take him at his word.

Thanks Debbie Downer. He says he will. He will.

Hope you are on the mend mate .

Thanks man, the scan says pnumonia is totally gone but the cough will stay for months due to the respiratory infection that was the catalyst of all this...

 

[gokangas]

Hey hey, it was only pnumoneia

Speedy recovery mate. Win on Saturday will help.

 

[ChairmanZia]

Speedy recovery mate. Win on Saturday will help.

Yes, many thanks.

Hopefully doggies too tall and we run them down...

Just saw the teamsheet, they went very tall, lobb, west, naughton, hagan

 

[Disco Dew]

With the way he’s going and the midfield coming together around him, could still become the best player in the comp. Just for a brief period before the warlord takes over

yes he can but i feel he will eventually become like the crawford type player who will guide the youngster batch to the ultimate glory as opposed to everyone's expetaction of leading everyone to success.

After all, he is 7 years or older than sheez wardlaw and those that come after.
