How was LMac picked in front of a half a dozen players in the VFL - hasn't looked like it on the field and his indiscretion should have meant he missed senior play.We all hope that Luke will fulfill his potential - god knows we need some players under 24 to do so on our current list.
The problem is that Luke is a hbf'er and I don't buy into him being able to progress to midfield status. That is wishful thinking (just like those thinking JZ can become a permanent forward.)
Luke is a hbf'er who is one paced and one sided. No one doubts his courage, his shinboner spirit and his effort - but at 23 and 70 odd games we should have seen a development in his game like others of his year have shown.
I haven't given up on him completely - Luke can still be a valuable member of the side - however the idea that Luke will be an elite player in the AFL - the type of player we all expected 5 years ago - is now looking like a reach.
Perhaps BS 'backed him in' to come good on the night - hmmm...LMac needs to be dropped for a period of time and work out for himself if he wants an AFL career or not.
