Player Watch #11: Luke "Two Dogs" McDonald - Roo til end '26

[giantroo]

Brad mentioned in his press conference that he played on with a sore ankle/Achilles injury. Did not waiver in his commitment and fought on.

I just saw the incident, surely he can't get weeks for that.

Was about to post the same thing. It was just a clumsy spoil attempt, not even as bad as Stratton's on Turner last week.

Kid was concussed and didn't come back on.

 

[kangaspurs]

It was definitely 50, but he shouldn't get suspended for it. Didn't the commentators say it was a back injury, not a concussion?

Edit: Never mind. The match report on afl.com.au says concussion. Might be in trouble then considering that when it comes to head injuries, they often judge the outcome, not the incident.

 

[Billy Not Really]

1 week max for that hit, it was a genuine effort to spoil. Nothing deliberate or malicious about it.

 

[King Corey]

No way Luke should go for that. Probably will of course.

Dangerfield to get a $500 fine along with a "you were provoked" apology while Luke gets 3 weeks for an act in play.

 

[Harris 10]

I can’t see where the head contact was.
Lukes fist goes well past his head without making contact.

Spot on.

 

[giantroo]

The last time Luke went out of the side was back in 2016 after pinging his hamstring chasing Cyril. We went on to lose 6 and won 2.

Correlation vs causation.

 

[R00StaR]

1 week for that? Absolute BS.

 

[SheezNuts]

Shouldn't be suspended, but can't say I'm upset about it.

 

[King Corey]

Utter bullshit. As predicted Luke goes, Dangerfield fined & fellated. Get ****ed.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He was late, so he probably shouldn't appeal it.

Correlation vs causation.

Vs coincidence.

[mouncey2franklin]

I want to see him appeal it. Hopefully justice is served and the sentence gets bumped up to two weeks.

Big game against Port after Essendon. Win both of those and the season is back on track.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Not even fine worthy

 

[Horizons_00]

Media blew this up massively

Good to see the club have the same view.

 

[Devington]

I can understand wanting him banned so he doesn't play, even if I don't agree, but ANYONE getting banned for that is something out of clown world. I STILL can't see any contact to the head.

I'm not saying the kid was staging, he was clearly out of it, but that looked like such an innocuous incident.

 

[Dingster]

He was late, so he probably shouldn't appeal it.

Club will appeal it. Looks like it was Luke's knee that did the damage and footage of their lad in the rooms pretty much confirming it.

Cameron Ling did the whole passive aggressive condemnation of the incident just to make sure it got some negative attention.

Absolute w***er.

The Crows had no business picking a twelve year old in the first place. What did they think was gonna happen?
