Because he's a talented tap ruckman who holds his own against the better ruckman in the AFL and he has beaten Goldy and Sandilands this year and both are in line for All Australian this year
Averages 23 hit outs , 12 disposals , 3 marks , 0.2 goals a game , 2.2 tackles
That's pretty average for a ruckman.
To compare to lobbe who I call a decent ruck but not a great ruck ...
28 hit outs , 10 disposals , 2.3 marks , 0.2 goals a game , 5 tackles
To start with he is behind lobbe.
Then to figure in luenburger can't stay on the park. Last 4 years have returned 14,5,20 and 3 games.
Lions fans really need to accept that teams are not going to outlay a big amount of money for luenburger..
Why would they? Do you think they need to outbid Brisbane ? He either wants to play first ruck or he doesn't? Sure bris could match , but do you think a team pays luenburger an extra $150,000 to satisfy Brisbane?
Yeah , Brisbane supporters have m entitled lue burgers last contract was $350,000. Why would a team give him a pay rise of $150,000 when he hasn't been able to stay on the park since signing that contract and hasn't been the first ruck? ....
