Hey Guys.

To those who were there today, what were your impressions on Luke. While he was at Hawthorn, I thought he had huge potential, but hampered by injuries.

On TV, I don't believe I could tell what his impact on the game was, but judging by what I saw in TV, he looked rusty, which is to be expected, but unfortunatly it still looked like his kicking is letting him down and should be worked on.

I still couldn't get used to him wearing #15, and I won't go into the whole Haw-Freo trade, but I feel it worked for both of us.

....on a final note.....I swear he took a ruck contest aroudn hte ground today, something I don't remember seeing him do with us.

I hope he gets a game in Round 18, see how he plays against us.

Yeah he did look a bit Rusty today, but he was never really left in 1 position for any length of time. When he was moved into the backline on Fraser, while he didn't get much of the ball, he did pretty well in keeping Fraser out of the Quarter. I think he'll definitly improve with a few more weeks at the top level.
