Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke - signs until end 2025! Runner up in the 2022 Syd Barker Medal Award

[The Nostradamus]

BnF is his this year

Easily our most classy player

 

[Usayed Givashe]

God he’s good.

So easily our best player…

He makes good players look like frauds.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Needs to be made skipper over Jy.

He is having a very good consistent year, his burst is excellent, his defensive pressure/intent is up, tackling intent/pressure is up, his kicking has been good, his handballing is starting to become a weapon and he is now starting to regularly kick goals.

Dunno about the captaincy, but agree with the sentiment; of the running players, only LDU and Curtis looked like making something happen

 

[archereleven]

Needs to be mentioned, his hands are freakishly good. Almost always hits his target even under immense pressure.

Pretty crazy that it took a mountain of injuries from other more limited mids to give this guy a genuine full time mid role.

 

[sruss]

Best player.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Pretty crazy that it took a mountain of injuries from other more limited mids to give this guy a genuine full time mid role.

He’s in what, his fourth year? And we’re not even putting him front and centre at the full time in the midfield, evne though he’s an out and out midfielder which we drafted him for as a pick ****ing 4 in the draft?

Now that’s CLASSIC North development

 

[Flawed Genius]

He's a ****ing gun and if you ever doubted him, I'm sorry, but you should be publicly shamed. He's a star. A shining light. Eat my dick

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Have some shame haters. Always backed Lukey!

 

[andana]

Was still going til the very end. Full of enthusiasm despite what's going on around the place

 

[Reagan Smash]

Just gets on with it without the theatrics. Good lad

He's starting to kick goals and look more comfortable in the forward line. Is that part of the classic north development?

 

[koshari]

Cream really rising to the top

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Attaboy. Wanted it. Most impactful game.

Anyone have his stats by quarter? Looked like an ordinary start when the game was affectively lost. Certainly got going later in second quarter and finished off nicely but game was over by then.

Thanks. Thought so.

 

[Psicosis]

Our midfield structure needs to revolve around Luke. Whatever needs to happen to maximise his output at every stoppage, f*kn do it.

He is not a string, he’s the f*kn instrument.

Love Jy, Jed, but this is Lukes midfield now. Coaches need to instruct them to block for him & get the ball in his hands, more often.

 

[amaz199]

I swear if Noble plonks him at HFF again I will not only ask for Brady's nose, but take Noble's ears.

 

[My Left Foote]

Was brilliant today! Building ever so nicely year on year. I reckon the only thing stopping him from becoming an elite player is his goal kicking, particularly his set shots, hopefully that improves over time.

 

[F_therest]

Trade for Dow? He was the pick before so it's good value.

Looking the goods, smooth mover out of congestion. Could say this about numerous players, but get the feeling his development has been held back by the club...possibly not nurturing him the right way, not getting enough mid minutes etc. Like most, would look better in a good, well structured team as well instead of having to make things up himself and rely on his individual brilliance.

Him going the pick after Dow and Brayshaw the pick before stings.

 

[northbergs]

Was huge today.

If anyone should be given a 5 year contract - it’s him.

Our next captain?

[Heaps of fun]

He's so powerful. How good is it watching him bust his way through packs and accelerate out the other side?

 

[BRider]

Our best this year by a fair bit IMO. Class.
