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

[Passmore]

I am very very bullish about LDU and would certainly taken him at 2, but it would be hard to go past Rayner at number 1 for mine - he's already done a few things that make you go glory be me this guy could be anything

He's certainly good Rayner. There won't be much in it in the long term all being equal.

Bloke is a freak. He has to stay away from too much weight work otherwise he gets too big.

Yeah that’s some pretty unique genes. Lucky barsted.

Yeh quite a burden it must be for him in life that whole low bodyfat high muscle mass thing.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Genetics only gets you so far.

Hard work is the major factor.

I’m sure the ladies at Tender Touch are very accommodating for your whole high body fat low muscle mass thing.

They usually yell out "heyyy.. it's Twinkletoes' older, fatter, balder brother" when I walk in .

Absolutely. But he’s literally restricted from the gym because he gains too easy

A bloke in Kennedy's condition only needs to do calisthenics.

Usually when commentators or whoever make comparisons to other modern day players it only goes as far as somewhat appropriate.

But with LDU & Kennedy they could practically be related they're that naturally similar to each other. Lukes got potential to be even better than Kennedy, but the main reason why Kennedy is so good is because he has that hard work ethic only a handful possess.

Met him at Noosa in November. Top bloke.

This is no word of a lie, was eating a Quinoa Vegeterian burger, I said its the off season surely you can have a proper one with all the toppings.

I was expecting a reply about skin folds but he said he has to restrict his protein intake because he puts on too much muscle during the off season.

Couldn't believe it.

I'm referring to his resistance training

He's definitely rated higher as a 19 year old.

I've got no problem with his ethic either, based on what I have seen. He just needs the miles in his legs, the same as Kennedy needed time to build his core. JK played no games in his 1st year, only 3 in his 2nd and 10 in his 3rd. In his 4th season he arrived as a 20 possession/5 clearance player. I expect LDU to be at that level next season, potentially even the back end of this season..

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Same with me.

Well, from KFC.

And gains = fat.

There’s no way of asking this without being a creep, but was his mrs with him? She’s absolutely stunning.

Yes. And yes she is.

My partner and I actually got talking to them because my wife commented on how gorgeous their boy was.

 

[KiwiRoo]

Hell if I worked out 2 hours a day, 5 days a week ............ I'd probably be just able to see my toes for the first time in a while...


The work these guys put in is amazing and they deserve the bucks they get paid.. Especially at this time of the year

 

[Pykie]

Yes. And yes she is.

LDU has a kid?

Never knew this.
