What's wrong with Luke McDonald?

[youtube]xbdnGnQR5LE&feature=player_embedded[/youtube]

Height: 195cm
Weight: 84kg
DOB: 29/04/90
Recruited from: Eastern Ranges
Bio: Played centre half-forward for the Eastern Ranges in the TAC Cup as an overage player in 2009, leading their goalkicking and winning their best and fairest. Clean hands on the lead, strong overhead and an impressive kick for goal. Consistently works hard to provide a target.

I read some coments on him on big footy,He's got a deadly accurate kick, and he's got very good hands, and a pretty decent leap on him, and he's a good height. Some people says he's only dominating because of size/strength advantage due to his extra year of age.

He looks a bit like Luke Livingston( Who should have been playing in the forward line) and Chris Grant.Luke Wins Pennington Medal this year.

Why isn't anyone talking about him?

Why isn't anyone talking about him?

3 reasons;

One - You started the thread.

Two - You likened him to Luke Livingston and also said LL should have played forward

and three, he obviously isn't worth it otherwise he would have been drafted before all the recycled players.

But of course he looked good, he was playing against kids younger than him, not so hard to dominate, it'll be like Judd playing in the 2's

- He does have good hands though, i'll give him that

Luke will most likely be rookied by someone. May even be Carlton.

Comparing Luke Livingston and Chris Grant? Nice one, spudchamber!

What the **** is with all these what's wrong with so and so.

There's a rookie thread for all of this...

Can we get this tool a card??

 

[celtic_pride]

Well, someone had to do it

In fairness BH, Luke Livingston played all of his junior footy as a forward, and when he got to Carlton, we tried to turn him into the next Silvagni. I just don't think he was cut out playing defence. Also, he did have some pretty serious injuries.

Exactly he even moved a bit like Silvagni in those 17 games in defence in his first year. He looked promising even thou i hated him playing from behind instead of the front to knock it with poor players to defend.The defence was real bad at that stage also and Andrew Mckay should have stayed a couple of more seasons to help them.

He did injuries and just couldn't get going or get back to that level when he played 17 games.He could have been a forward but it was too late as he was in the system for 5-6 years already.

I think this part of the reason we rather shy on talls especially early in the drafts when Livingston,Raso,Hartlett have failed. I think all 3 were rather thin for tall players when they got recruited possibly reasons for getting injured more often due to playing on bigger guys.

I'm amazed no one gave him a gig. I guess he isn't quick enough for AFL?

didn't try to turn him into not only a defender but a mauler. We taught him wrong. Should have played forward, was worth a shot as a defender, but his kicking among other things was not good enough.
