Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - '24 SBM - re-signed until the end of 2032 [7 year deal]

I’ve been a critic of LDU’s defensive game, but when he’s locked in offensively he’s a flat out weapon.

He was having an AA worthy start to the 2022 season before the fat sniper W Rioli pinned both his arms, caved his head deep into Marvel Stadium’s turf, knocked him out and avoided suspension (for the second straight week mind you flipping corrupt AFL). PC got 3 weeks for a softer and much cleaner tackle..

He's also shown he can apply himself really well defensively - when he's locked in.

Up to him to do that over a longer stretch of the year. He's always been a "follow me" kind of player and the young guys will 100% follow if that application's there more frequently.

Hope 2026 goes smoothly for him injury-wise. Continuity will build confidence.
