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

[Nugget 83]

Those shoulders are looking even broader than last year. Dare I say it, broad enough to carry this team on his back all the way to ultimate glory?

He is looming…I can’t wait to see him dancing his way through traffic in the season proper.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Once it clicks this midfield lead by LDU will be must see

 

[Shermanator]

Something that hasn’t been mentioned about LDU is that since his best mate/dad Peter passed away he’s probably been looking for a father figure to guide him through his career and someone to get general life advice from.

Peter was a massive Hawks fan and I assume Clarko would’ve been a legend in their household. You can already see Clarko is a players coach so the player/coach one-on-one chats, the regular coffee catch ups will not only do wonders for LDU’s footy career but also in life.

The timing of Clarko’s appointment to our club couldn’t be any better for a gun 23 year old midfielder coming into his 6th year who used to idolise him.

This kid could take his game to stratospheric levels through his own maturity, natural physical development and the fantastic mental support around him now.

Possibility he’s no longer with his gf? If so, that’s the first foot he’s put wrong in a while.

Split a few months ago or so

Might slide into his DMs.

Into 67 dollars at the bookies now, they’re not letting anyone get ahead of themselves!

Has always been 67s on Sportsbet. 101s still on Lads and Ned's. Goater has came in from 81s to 40s on Lads this last week for rising star

If you combine LDU brownlow, Larkey Coleman, Goater RS, North 8 then you can bet $0.30 and win $1 million!

Plenty of traffic in that inbox I'd say. Meanwhile she traded well down for some * footnote named Matt Guelfi or so I'm led to believe

Gone from 81 to 67 365 style

 

[DuckYeah]

Before 2023 I always said Jy was captain… don’t be surprised if LDU is captain come the vote

 

[DuckYeah]

Jy, LDU, McDonald… I reckon LDU is a smokey for Skipper

My Goater bet was at 101 - I think $30 and they're now offering cash out that basically covers this without a game being paid. He has come in heaps.

Sorry lads, Sheezel is winning that

I think is also a good bet. If they play him the same way Stephenson played at Collingwood in his first season he will be a good chance. It will be interesting where Brisbane play Ashcroft considering their midfield names.

If Sheezel kicks 30+ (which I believe he can) its stamped with his name on it.

The guy has talent, but when is the last time we had more than any two of our players kicking more than 30 goals? Temper the expectations a bit.

*in saying this, I completely agree: the kid has the talent to easily kick 30 in his debut year.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

With a proper functioning forward line, he’s a decent shot at 30 if he can play 20 games.

 

[gokangas]

Impossible for LDU to win the Brownlow this year. We won't win enough games for any NM player to consistently get the 3 votes.

This is a very astute observation Sherm.
