Luke Davis-Uniacke. Will he ever live up to the media hype that he receives?

Lloyd said that before he was drafted didn't he? Also wtte of LDU being the best young player he'd ever coached.

IMO the jury is still out on how good he will be. But he won't be s**t.

Promising talent I guess. Weird that a proven performer like Goldstein gets zero hype his whole career while some other kids show glimpses and get talked up like the next big thing (Mason Wood, Shaun Atley, Luke McDonald) etc etc

Luke McDonald did win a club B&F recently.

From what I have seen of Will Phillips he is a very sound selection, but I am scratching my head as to why he is not being selected at present. As for Davies-Maniac, he got going quite nicely towards the end of 2020, and really looked at home in AFL ranks.

The beauty of threads like these is their immense potential to totally not go wrong at all.

32 games in, I think he's going okay. Nothing outstanding yet by any means, but I expect him to have a good season and at 50-100 games really start to become a high level midfielder.

That was said during the off season

Dow & LDU a long way back in that midfield section of the 2017 draft.

Clarke, Cerra & Brayshaw looking the goods so far but there's still time.

 

[B4Bear]

Another OP pearl of wisdom.

He said it before the draft in 2017 when everyone expected LDU to not get to us.

 

[Slysh]

If North had lost to the Lions final round 2017 they could have drafted Rayner and we would have likely been stuck with Brayshaw

Would have sucked for the Lions to be ‘stuck’ with the better player

No he didn’t.

Still cannot believe you guys passed on Logan for Jamarra, that is the worst decision in the history of the draft!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

LDU will give fine service as a B+ grade player to the Tas Blue Roos.

Your joke wasn’t funny the first time you said it. It’s definitely not funny now either.
But I can certainly understand the jealousy from a supporter who’s team is battling big time, the one of the most talented players gets gifted by one of the leagues contenders. You’d be jumping for joy if JUH was at North. Definitely don’t agree with the NGA rules at all.

The Dogs used picks 29, 33, 41, 42, 52, 54 to match the Jamarra bid. In what world does Logan last until pick 29?

Jealousy?

Interesting label from the poster who has started multiple anti-norf threads recently. Seems like you're pretty embittered, and I'm fascinated to understand why.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Like every North Melbourne player since Wayne shagged Kelli, his ceiling is most likely:

‘very good player but not the best around and generally comparable to other teams very good players, but no better’

He too can look forward to the dizzy heights of being ‘ROBBED!’ of All Australian selection and eventually achieving the status of ‘stalwart’.

That would be something that would fascinate you. I’m just questioning why LDU is rated as highly as he is in the media. And can’t understand how and why you’d pass on Logan McDonald for an inside mid.

Why's Jamarra rated so highly? Can't even get a game.

Still can't believe you took him instead of Logan, worse call then taking Tambling over Buddy.

Your club passed on Logan for Jamarra though mate.

Dogs would be a chance for the flag with Logan.

No he didn’t.

Yes he did.

Why did you quote him saying something different three years later to back up your argument?

Are you missing a chromosone?

Weird comment as Rayner isn't even close to Brayshaw and probably never will be.

 

[susurrar]

he looks like a pretty special player to me.

has shown a lot in patches. just needs to find consistency. that should start to come over the next couple of seasons, now that he's played 30 or so games. hopefully he gets a better run with injury.

heres a nice clip of his first few years if all these posters genuinely dont know who he is or havent seen much of him:



you can see him building nicely.

Nah, he's crap and so is your team.
