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

[Joshen]

Plays natural position.

Flourishes.

Mind. Blown.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Great game LMac. Agree 100% with the calls for him to remain well away from the backline.

s**t, I'd go as far as assigning Luke a chaperone whenever he and Brad Green are in the same room together to ensure they don't cross paths.

 

[tazaa]

Not a Scotts hater but his treatment of Luke and playing him in defence has been nothing short of pathetic.
Theres a kid who is ready to take the game by the scruff of the neck, ready to announce himself to the comp and we got him pigeonholed in the backline


but yeh
whateva
Go roos and all that

Potential A Grader?

 

[ferball]

He didn't play on the backline did he? I know he was named there but I don't think he played anywhere outside the midfield.

His ability to break tackles and the way he hits packs in general reminds me a bit of Ablett, Dangerfield and even of Paul Kelly.

...I don't think he played anywhere outside the midfield... reminds me a bit of... Paul Kelly.

Refrains of Dumb Things... "In the middle, in the middle..."

Next Captain

Starting from Tuesday??

Saw Luke play as a junior a few times and knew he was more than capable of this and a whole lot more . As sure as the day is long he will be an elite player in the comp .

The doubts on him are on the back of being played in a position that plays to none of his strengths.

Yeah it's like Viney playing on the back flank

Yep and a couple of us were not happy that he was playing back from the get go. Ridiculous from coaching staff / match committee . I have no doubt that if we had gone with Dal Santo , boomer and Wellsy stuck around then he'd still be rotting in the back pocket .

[roos_fanatic08]

how good was that back with the flight mark in the 3rd?

 

[Thewlis Dish]

He'd be a fair chance at winning the Syd.

 

[FloozyRoozy]

Continues to step up and grow more and more each week, impressive and future captain in the making.

 

[Harris 10]

Turning into a bull, breaking tackles and kicking goals.
Love the way he's going about it this year.

Yeah had a bit of the Adelaide game about him yesterday, breaking through tackles.

Just needs another 2 preseasons before he is at his best

giantroo any video or gif footage?

 

[Snake_Baker]

He is NEVER beaten.

The epitome of the word shinboner.

The number 11 sits comfortably on his shoulders.

Will be our next captain.

Thanks, I would like your post, but I seem to be missing my like button ever since I strayed onto the Tugger board a couple days ago.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Don't hear much from the "pick 8 on a back pocket" crew any more.
