Player Watch #11: Luke "Two Dogs" McDonald (Part II) - Roo til end '26 - 2023/24 co captain w/ Jy

[ferball]

Maj almost lapped the last two runners and he won looking back over his shoulder trying to work out where the others were.

Maj is very close in size and weight to Usain Bolt too. Once he winds up he is, well was very, very fast,

 

[Lomas]

We picked Maj one year and he won it.

And Petrie won the longest kick with a bit of a shank. Was a good day.

Majak's burst acceleration was frightening along with his top speed. Very difficult to get away from if you're not careful!

I feel like Luke has lost a bit of ability or doesn't really show as much of it due to the role he plays nowadays. We really need to shake off turning players into role players and letting them flourish. Luke's best is B&F worthy but we don't see enough of it unfortunately.

Great lockdown defender though. No doubt about that.

Captaining the club he supported growing up. Living the dream.

Special day for Lmac. Knowing that he started out as one of us, as a North fan you can’t not feel a little thrilled on his behalf at this

 

[DunderHead]

Really happy for him. I thought they’d give it to Jye who says, looks and does all the right things. Luke is charismatic and a bit more willing to go left of field. I think they compliment each other.

Is Ryan Papenhuyzen a North supporter? See he’s congratulated LMac there.

Yep.

 

[Shinboner1]

with our new additions to the side I wasn't convinced that McDonald was going to be best 22.
Now he's gotta step up to a new level in 2023 IMO.
No passengers here.
Congrats on the captaincy lukey! You deserve it.

I parked next to the McDonald family at the NMFC family day at Royal Park the year before Luke was drafted. I pointed him out to my kids and said "that young fella there is going to be captain of our club one day".

Glad to have got it right, even if the little bastards pretend not to remember me saying it.

Congrats Luke

This really reads like Luke was working in the drive-thru at the time.

Ha I didn't even realise! Might need to edit for clarity!

Nah just clearly a bit early in the morning for me

 

[Horizons_00]

I honestly think this captaincy may finally drive his game up another level
