Awaiting that beastly play in the first few minutes of the game to be GIF'd the fu** out of.

We are looking at a combination of Cunnington and Pendlebury.

He is going to have enormous core strength.

Cunningbury! The way he stood in the tackle a couple of times, swinging West Coast tacklers around like hoola hoops....

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Such good spatial awareness. Always got his eyes up scanning for the best option and using his agility to work his way into position to deliver to it.

One upside of being 17th and the clueless media's punching ball is that the majority of the commentators / journalists have completely missed what LDU has done on the field in the last month or so. And they have also completely missed what Perez has done.

That keeps the pressure off the boys, which can only be good.

Will be interested in seeing how the tune changes next year.

We’re up to Issue #30 of 50.

This week we added the ability to stand in a tackle and dispose to advantage.

It highlights how little most of them know about football.

The AFL media is similar to government bureaucracy. Clueless & worthless.

Definitely.

It's amusing that acts like the one in the gif above happened before their eyes - they are literally employed to describe what is happening - and it didn't even register to them as something exceptionally good.

That exact play was his One Wood at junior level.

Hes going to take off in ‘21.

Commentators are only watching NicNat to see what he does. That’s ok. fk em.

Kelly is still sliding

 

[BTRAIN2]

Only thing that can stop him is injury - touch wood (not Mason variety).
Aside from that, he is going to be our best footballer come 2022.

Kelly needs to be made into a Shooting Star gif.....

Hit's a better handball falling over than half the team in space. Buckle up people.

I am too scared to get too excited about his prospects and jinx him lol

I would love to see a midfield with him, Jy and Cunners all at their peak.

Good luck picking who to shutdown.

I was about to send a message on our footy whatsapp group boasting about LDU's talent. I wrote the message, but deleted before sending thinking he would do his ACL 5 minutes after hitting send.

Absolute beast!

More clips in this twitter thread

 

[king of the road]

Completely agree with this.

Goldy did it once and he lasered a pass to Larkey.

It is f***** crazy how often we give the hands to Jed to hack it forward and burn LDU. Funnily enough it’s often Dumont and Jed burning him.

Maybe they work harder to assist their team mates and put themselves in those positions to get the ball more?

What, you think they're teaching him a lesson by not taking the best option?

Oh thank god.... it’s a highlights package.

 

[susurrar]

sorry if im out of line here and i suppose anything is better than nothing but thats a really disappointing video from the club. thats it? they could have just taken giantroos vids from recent pages of this thread and made a video twice as long. thanks for posting anyway gr.

edit: im more annoyed a few minutes later. ldu did enough this year that they could have made a GREAT highlights video. we have very little to get excited about at the moment.

 

[Clarke is King]

Your highlight videos are MUCH better.
