Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke - signs until end 2025! Runner up in the 2022 Syd Barker Medal Award

[amaz199]

Kind of agree, but i have a theory that we are taking too long to seek the best option, giving opposition time to get set defensively, a quick play on after a mark/free kick usually has a far better outcome, than being static, scanning for options does.

There were a few transitions where we looked sideways too often and went for the extra handball instead of getting it in there quickly.

When we think too long it goes so horribly wrong.

You could tell all his teammates were really looking out for him.
They all went up to him after his errors to settle him down between plays.

Very much noticed this. When he had that bad fumble leading to the Pendles goal in the first every single teammate in the vicinity came up to him, patted him on the back and, I imagine, told him not to worry about it. Heartening to see such closeness and comradeship within the group, and I’m sure Luke appreciated it after the week he had.

Was more prominent in the 2nd half as he spent more time in the guts. He’s wasted in the forward line.

I'm not worried about him. He has it.

It will happen.

This.

People are expecting him to be elite after sub 40 games. Give him 70-80 and he'll go bang.

Love this burst,


Really wish he backs himself in a bit more with that burst. Is still working on that tank of his.

Four goals in six minutes of game time.

Four goals in six minutes of game time.

Winning those centre clearances seems to be important, hey.

 

[BigFatNorthFan]

Does so much 'almost' stuff. Clean run at it and he'll just be doing stuff, no 'almost' required. Very excited.

 

[Mordecai]

His floor might not be where it should be right now but * me his ceiling is bloody high.

What a beast.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Once he starts consistently affecting games, it's all over. That third quarter today he looked like he decided he was the man and boy was he. Just need to see more of that midset. He looks like he needs to know he's the best player on the park and when he has periods where he realises that, he's unstoppable.

 

[Flawed Genius]

If you ever jumped off today is your warning. Don't do it again

 

[darko]

Poor in 1st quarter but then lifted big time. Had that purple patch in 3rd.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Going to be a contested ball-winning, goal-kicking, line breaking, tackle-breaking beast when he reaches a 4 quarter game. When he's on song he's untouchable.

 

[Psicosis]

Was the most influential player in dragging us back into the game in the 3rd Q

Looked way more settled this week. So pleased for him. His Dad would be so proud.

 

[gokangas]

Loved him pointing up when he kicked that goal. Excellent game.

 

[Snake_Baker]

For 45 minutes today we had a glimpse of what will become.

 

[hilly]

Stirring 3rd term. Well done LDU.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

A bit of Judd the way he accelerates from contests.

Where are all his detractors?

Deer's with no eyes.

The same guys who wanted to trade Cunnington not too long ago

 

[Kanga1996]

Tackled a lot harder in the 2nd half, actually went the player instead of just corralling his opponent

Is this the breakout game?
