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

[zoomba23]

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that, of all the aspects of every player's game, his defensive intent, whether it's shit or good, is the single most influential factor on the team's performance

 

[Blightys Barrel]

There is $1.2M a years worth

 

[Passmore]

40 touches, 1g, 700m gained, 7 tackles, and you're a footnote.

Life's harsh sometimes.

 

[bhoysdontcry67]

Is that his best ever disposal count?

Unit today. That’s the LDU we love!

 

[Jindrrk]

Best game for club?

definitely his most well rounded performance at the very least

 

[SunnyBoner]

definitely his most well rounded performance at the very least

Agree, he was great and with Sheeze, Parker, George and Kerch pulling their weight we have a much rounded midfield.

 

[King Corey]

Looked like he really backed himself today, that he understood his best value to the team is.. to be more selfish.

 

[archereleven]

Weird how when we have others in the midfield firing on all cylinders, LDU takes his game to another level...

With 15 score involvements, 3 goal assists, 12 i50s and 1.1, you'd think everyone would be ecstatic, but their are posters in here fuming he never had double digit tackles, sub 20 pressure acts and missed a couple of kicks lol

He was incredible and if not for Sheezel, we would all be crowning him BOG.

However, (and this was stated by the commentary team), I still think that his ceiling is another 15-20% on top of today’s performance.

Not sure he has 15-20% on today's performance but he can definitely deliver numbers like today more consistently.

We will only see that consistency ceiling when we are winning regularly and oppo mids have to account for their own match ups.

 

[ferball]

i would definitely say top 5, he’s had some ripper games just needs to be more consistent.

Top 2 or 3. Had one where had three goals and 30+ disposals last year.

 

[CBSlogger]

Sounds ridiculous given the enormity of their games but I actually had LDU BOG today, ahead of Sheez and X.

Sheez is a freak and X a beast but at his best, LDU remains our #1 point of difference and he was back to his line breaking, bursting best today.

A lot of impressive performances over the weekend and LDU's ranked 3rd in the comp behind Harry McKay

's 21 touch, 7 goal performance and Bont's 31 touches and 2 goals.

It was the 3rd highest rated game of his career.

 

[The Nostradamus]

 

[marklovesbeer]

When he doesn’t have to be everything all at once, he is a serious footballer.

That set shot was pure.

Exactly.
As the McKercher’s, Sheezel’s & Wardlaw’s of the team continue to get more games into them & better around him, we should see more games like yesterday.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Didn't even get into 7AFL's Team of the Week lol.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Didn't even get into 7AFL's Team of the Week lol.

Says more about their selection committee. SEN has 4 Kangas (Sheeze/X/PC) in there and LDU made the bench

but sheezel was also 8th and he had the best game of anybody the whole year.

 

[SimpinForSimpkin]

I really enjoy when he is switched on and has a harder defensive edge.


We all know what he can do offensively with his strength and speed, but when you watch the replay the amount of bumps, blocks and pressure acts he did was commendable and imo how you know he is switched on

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Not sure he has 15-20% on today's performance but he can definitely deliver numbers like today more consistently.

We will only see that consistency ceiling when we are winning regularly and oppo mids have to account for their own match ups.

More so the one-touch pickups, the swatting away oppo mids, the changes in direction in tight and streaming forward to dob the odd bomb from 50.

Little things that will make his impact truely weaponised.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

For anyone upset about paying 1.3mil for LDU, St. Fiddler just paid 2mil for NWM!

 

[DuckYeah]

LDU not on this list? Wow! We got him for unders

 

[chubbspeterson]

Bont is underpaid, but he also wants to probably add Butters and/or keep Richards and Sanders.

 

[TruRoo]

LDU not on this list? Wow! We got him for unders

He’d probably be on it if fox didn’t insist on adding a random hypothetical about de koning

 

[TruRoo]

Looks great in patches before he has to dispose of it.
