Big game LD..

I've been pessimistic about his future, but I actually don't see him leaving now. He's had a sneak peak at what playing with Wardlaw for the rest of his career will look like.

 

[Kanga Glory]

He is so beautiful hunting the footy or with ball in hand. The guy also I saw was yelling at the back line and at half time revving up the other midfielders.
I reckon he can see the light and will hand around.
The way he is playing he is top 10 in the afl

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Massive again.

 

[koshari]

was completely mesmerizing to watch at times, bordering on arrogance. amazing what a few blokes with a bit more class around him enables him to do/

 

[Warrboy]

Did he grab at hammy in the last? Hopefully just cramp

 

[tazaa]

When hes on, hes amazing to watch.

 

[Roosurgence]

Imagine if he got the ride Daicos gets?

Bloke is devastating and the umpires still let blokes hang all over him when he doesn’t have the ball.

Even more laughable was the holding the ball they paid against him when he slips and still gets the handball away.

Name your price, king.

You can’t script this sh*t any better…

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Looked like Superman in that first half. The arrogance to prove to the tackler they can’t get him just about every time he gets it is bordering on bullying.

We need to sign him this year and not wait for next year. He is a must for our future.

We probably would if we could. Sounds like his management is waiting until next year.

I think he's bought in and wants to plant himself here for the long-term.

On numerous occasions over the last 2 weeks he's been barking instructions and leading on the field like I haven't seen from him before. He seems to really be taking ownership of the midfield in particular and stepping up in that regard.

Early days still but we seem to have turned a corner as a club, and provided we continue to be competitive for the remainder of the season, I think he'll sign.

It may be just natural evolution of the group, but it does seem like something has happened over the break.

LDU has gone from being his naturally brilliant self to being a leader out there. He's step up his work without the ball, he's barking at the rest of them. It's like he's taken ownership of a situation that he knows he can impact.

I noticed he was chirping big-time yesterday at key moments. The next progression in his development I reckon.
Once he starts demanding in that engine room (along with Jy) the young guys will push even harder.

 

[roos_tt29]

You really can see the Judd comparisons Lloydy mentioned very early.
Apart from the absolute breakneck speed Judd had, he's got almost everything else when he's on. Now to make it the standard week-in-week-out.

this level of consistency will come as the support grows around him.

Agreed - and you can slowly see it's happening.

Not sure if its just me or not, but i feel his 1%ers, second & third efforts have gone through the roof since the break. Maybe he was carrying a few niggles.

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

If there was ever a week to come out and say he has signed on for another 10 years….

On appearances, the bye was well-utilised.
