So good yet so bad

No question. His work rate when he doesn't have the ball is almost as good as anyone out there.

We're not fools iddy, we know full well where we stand with Luke. However running commentary is just that, t'is the footy season after all!

 

[Mr Magic]

good game from Luke coming off a handy game first round.

If Luke seriously wants to keep the dream alive he needs to work with someone on his snaps for goal , add a bit more mass to his calves and thighs to!!


good effort from him and by far a more natural forward than backman

Their is always a qualification with Lukey's performance...no matter how many goals kicked...or marks taken...or tackles laid...
The continuing chorus is...Lukey's ok we are just waiting for him to stuff up...
Or the old chesnut...theirs better players than Lukey back at Coburg...blah blah blah...if Lukey won a pissing contest it would of course be a fluke...
Now its about Lukey attending with Mass... ...
Maybe thats not such a bad idea at all...whether it would stop the constant McGuane demonizing is another thing...
Even then I suspect an Excorcist wouldn't help much...

Was good enough last night. Now let's see a full season of it.

Luke just needs more polish and his legs where always too light like TV. What amazes me is they when on about bench presses and whatever and no one seems to worry about the core which is more important on the footy field.

I will be honest.

As a backman Mcguane is next to useless or has been anyway. As a forward he is serviceable.

To stay in the team 2-3 years he needs to add polish kicking for goal. Not impossible as set shot he is not that bad. He has been resilient. Ball is in his court, up to him really, because next 3-4 years will not be the free ride it used to be as we drive towards a premiership

I actually thought he did well in the 1st half , But as usual had some typical McGoof moments where basically he just cant seem to do the simple things right. But is so far performing better than i expected

As we have discussed all pre season, its the games against the better sides that he needs to deliver what we need not against the 'LOW' Teams - Lets see how he performs against the Collingwood,Hawthorn,Swans,Westcoast,Fremantle,Geelongs before we pass him off as the next coleman medalist

But there is a bright side to whats happening with luke , Maybe we might be able to flog him off to Carlton as a KPF next trade period

 

[Tigersman]

He is doing more than enough to keep his defender honest and preventing jack being double teamed. This was certainly the case last night.

Sprayed a few but creates a few with pressure too.

Would have created headaches for the saints coaches box

Or if there's currency, let him go for nothing as he's a Free Agent.

Contracted i believe !

Contracted i believe !

I was using it in the context of at the end of this season.

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Never liked him in defence.. just thought he was a stupid footballer.. competes but had too many brain fades.. didn't know what to expect with the move forward but i have to give him credit he competes.. just like a bigger version of Jake King.. for a key forward his second and third efforts are amazing and with the form he is in he deserves to keep his spot... I think some people will expect too much from him but I would back him against any third tall defender in the league.. since that what he is for us.. our third tall...

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

Lukey could've kicked a bag last night and be in Coleman contention

 

[Grockadoc]

How good was the mark he took off Conca's bullet? Running full pelt, and just clunked it in his hands as clean as you like while at full pace, and the ball coming at him at a million miles an hour.

 

[tigerz18]

What I'm liking about McGuane at the moment, is that he is showing the rest of the team that reputation and natural talent is not going to get you a game. You need to follow Dimmas team rules and gamestyle. I think there are many more talented players at Coburg, but as long as McGuane continues like he is, he will continue lining up in the forward pocket. I hope all the young players are learning a lot from McGuane about teamwork, desire and getting the most out of your abilities.

Yeah they'd probably offer us a second rounder at this stage - but in typical Richmond "totally-overrate-a-spud-after-one-half-decent-year" fashion, we'd probably knock it back!

Yeah or maybe GWS might offer us WHS and we would be asking for a sweetener to go along with the deal

Aftere all we are giving them a Gun KPF thats going to kick 50 goals this year

 

[Tiger68]

Yeah he sprayed a few Friday night, but I think if you looked at his goal kicking accuracy since moving forward its actually pretty good. The best thing I've liked about Luke's game is how often he presents and dishes off, also his defensive pressure makes things happen. Been very good and very consistent IMO.

 

[CoggaRules]

Luke's star is rising. He gets quoted in the media talking about how we still have room for improvement etc...

 

[jko'neal]

He's making me eat humble pie I'm willing to admit. Been very good forward and if the brain farts are minimal, 30goals for the year are a possibility which would be a good return for the third forward. Best thing about him, I'm guessing not many opposition coaches are going to put a lot of work into quelling him. So he should be able to sneak under the guard a fair bit.

And kudos to Dimma/coaching staff for rewarding the hard work and continuing to select guys like this. Culture, we are building it!
