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

[Donkey Chop]

I could listen to Brown and Voss all day. Spine tingling

 

[Heaps of fun]

Get them off, for the sake of the children (nominees). Is this the Brisbane Lions premiership reunion?

Browny's gone past 2003 now. What does this even have to do with being a rookie player?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Thank god. It's over.

 

[GarnerSmash]

How many times has the word 'mate' been used in the last 10 mins?

Dunno mate.

 

[Boner Spirit]

KB gives luke mcdonald top votes

 

[GarnerSmash]

KB gives luke mcdonald top votes

He's still an old campaigner with no idea.

 

[Daz]

Luke's 4 votes behind with 2 voters to go so probably just out of the running.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Taylor - 30
Bontempelli - 29
McDonald - 26
The rest - don't care

2 judges yet to vote.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Ok this is it. I've been calling it for several weeks but Saturday Luke kicks his first goal. Can't wait for the reaction.

I hope it's the first goal of the game. Imagine the lift that'd give the players and supporters.

 

[Only Forwards]

I hope it's the first goal of the game. Imagine the lift that'd give the players and supporters.

I would prefer it to be a clutch goal about the 15 minute mark of the second that sees us peg the score back to even and begins and avalanche of goals before half time as we push out to a 6 goal lead in a little over under 15 minutes of play.

Bontempelli on 29 votes, one vote behind Lewis Taylor (30) with one judge's votes to come. #RisingStar

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Cue ManOfClay meltdown if Bont doesn't win.

 

[giantroo]

Kevin Sheahan gave Luke 3 votes

 

[jess_1804]

Damn...

 

[giantroo]

Lewis Taylor won

 

[The Nostradamus]

luke finishes 3rd with 32 votes and behind bontempelli 38 and the winner taylor 39

 

[giantroo]

Congrats to the Brisbane Lions' Lewis Taylor as the 2014 AFL Rising Star winner by 1 vote from Marcus Bontempelli. Luke McDonald (3rd spot).

 

[SMaturin]

Glad that's done. Would have been a distraction from the bigger dance. Back to training, Luke.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Taylor deserved it based on his consistent season. He will be a very solid footballer.

Happy to see Luke in the top 3, should have been top 2 but the Judges love the flashy type stuff that Bont done during the year.

 

[tales129]

Mark Evans didn't even have luke in his top five

 

[Jay-Z]

So sad that I (like many North fans) miss out an a couple of hundred bucks because dickheads like Glen Jakovich and Mark Evans can't take time out of their busy lives to actually watch football before being involved in panels like this. Thank god Taylor won it and not Bont

The afl needs this award to encourage the crap sides that are going to be stuck in the wilderness for a while.
