Player Watch #11: Luke "Two Dogs" McDonald - Roo til end '26

[Shermanator]

Got SUPERSTAR written all over him. Yep I'm on the wagon big time!

 

[Tas]

I think with Atley going nowhere in a hurry and Wells as useful as an inflatable anchor we should probably push Silver onto a wing prematurely, couldn't play any worse than the other options.

Dead set robbed of the nom this week.

Patience, young Padawan. It will come.

Agree, He is just the Gary Lyon stretcher joke of Big Footy. Was funny in 2004 but 10 years later it just gets boring!!!

I think this clip sums up the progression of people's opinion of Jozeph. And it also sums up his one joke. And it also ends the way we'd like his heavily flogged dead horse joke to end.

Will have to go to one of wingard, Monfries or gray this week. Probably gray with atley and Macmillan taking the other two respectively.

Can and won't be surprised if he plays an effective lock down role and secures a nom with his rebounding ability.
Equal high 5 r50s against the dogs with 16/18 possies effective!

They must of forgot he was eligible, like I did.

Hasn't he been a North player for years?

 

[marklovesbeer]

Who got the nomination?

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Who got the nomination?

Dylan Buckley

Yep thought luke was better than Dylan Buckley who got it this week.

Looking forward to him eventually getting nominated and hopefully winning it at the end of the year

I really hate how grundy and daniher are eligible for the rising star. Such a joke. How unfair is it?

He will be our next captain- bookmark, engrave, tattoo it.

He has shown great leadership in both games.

Against the dogs grima gave that free kick near the square. thommo had a go at grima and Luke runs over and gives then both a pat and they calm down.
The kid will be hodge like. A smart operator and is a hardass.

Amen to that!

My theory is that early in the year they have a list of players will be good enough to be nominated many weeks through out the year. See O'Meara, Crouch Wines etc in 2013.

A lot of these kids run out of gas towards the end of year so when someone NOT on the list like Buckley plays a good game (and it was a good game) they'll get the nomination because someone like McDonald is more than likely to play an absolute blinder at some point and he can get his nom then. Otherwise we'll get to round 19 some kid will get a nomination for a 5 possession game because all the other kids who played well are already nominated.

Dylan Buckley

He was good.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

He was good.

10 Kicks, 8 Handballs, 2 Marks, 6 Tackles.

Luke:

11 Kicks, 8 Handballs, 3 Marks, 4 Tackles.

 

[Donkey Chop]

And Luke has an extra game on him, that's why I reckon he's stiff

 

[King Corey]

He was good.

Weird looking head though.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Weird looking head though.

He's got a sixhead.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Was good again.

8 tackles!!!

 

[Flawed Genius]

I want to kiss him.

 

[dus]

Gun!!!

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Natural footballer that doesn't fret away from the contest, seems to love it, will be an a-grade footballer.

 

[Higgins2Waite]

So tough! So good watching him go about it. Twice whacked port players in the first...something youd expect experienced vets to do when protecting rookies. Love him!!!!

He probably got negative votes after the first game. He has been getting better with each game. Don't give a stuff about the rising star.
