Player Watch #14: Luke 'Gav' Urquhart - selected with Pick 57 in the ND - Welcome to North Melbourne

[DuckYeah]

For a guy we supposedly hid, he's been a bit underwhelming so far.

LOL We hid a bloke that cant kick a footy? He basically kicks the ball off his shin.. I guess at least he makes contact with it.

 

[Passmore]

Has he come back with big muscles?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Has he come back with big muscles?

Mein Fuhrer...

 

[King Corey]

Has he come back with big muscles?

Oh behave

 

[Passmore]

Oh behave

Shut up and buy a Kookaburra away guernsey, Nuffy..

 

[The Nostradamus]

His frame was good from the beginning.. was wasted on the wing most of the season. Needs to be in the middle from the get go this year.

This
Playing keast ahead of him in the centre was dumb

Hopefully marcon changes that now that he is in charge

 

[shinboner magic]

Think we just took the risk to pick him later in the draft

 

[The Nostradamus]

Bloke is ripped, unit

 

[andana]

Give him a start. Just what we need. A bit of hard at it.

Who you dropping for him?

 

[DunderHead]

Has an iron man / triathlete physique.

I thought that. And or very water polo physique.

 

[SunnyBoner]

So is Luke 184cm or 190cm?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Who you dropping for him?

we wouldn't be dropping LDU, Sheez, Wardlaw, Parker ahead of him, so the obvious one is Powell, who had a pretty average year and hasn't taken the next step.

 

[Rod Stroker]

From the pre-season sessions I saw last year, this bloke stood out. There's definitely something there to work with. I just hope he doesn't become another victim of our "development program"

Powell can at least make ball contact with his foot. I dare say Powell will be lining on the pine as a utility.

The only two in our side doing similar jobs as what Urq would be doing is Parker and Wardlaw.

Maybe we bring in a specialist tagging role but I would prefer not to.

Be interesting to see what these new coaches bring and what set up we roll with.

Parker is obviously closer to the end than the beginning, and Wardlaw has shown so far his body is injury prone. We should be getting games into Urqs this year.

Yeah, for one, there's absolutely no chance Wardlaw is playing 23 games lol

Probably needs to move on from the top he was given at Chrissy in 2015.

Just saying

Based on what? A pre season photo? He was mud last year in the twos.

 

[ohmygewd]

Who you dropping for him?

If he starts to dominate and l mean dominate contested ball, ball efficiency, defensive acts, awareness tactically etc. and any of the full time starting mids are out of form, bring him in.

His draft profile was an inside clearance mid with a burst plus excellent endurance...hopefully he emerges this year whether 184,185 or 190cm.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Deserves a crack during the preseason.

Seems to take his preparation pretty seriously.
