Great debut

Loved his attack on the contest

He’s going to be an absolute ripper, he like Armstrong and Lalor just aren’t afraid to crack in

He will be the steal if draft the concussion was over played class shows

“Coaching the backs I’ve got a fair bit to do with Luke Trainor,” Steve Morris said.

“He is a really exciting player, he has clearly got the talent, but what impresses me most is his desire to get better, and he is really tough, he wants to get better.

"He wants to drive this club forward, and I’m really looking forward to seeing his progression over the course of the season.”

Said it at the time, this kid will be our best pick up for pick value of the draft.

I had him at Pick 2 until Tauru bolted late to North (assuming North wanted to draft some tall kids at all..) but Tauru slipped as did Trainor to Pick 21.

All Australian defender in the making, 250+ games down back. Bookmark it. Got an absolute gem in Luke, wrapped he is a tiger.

His disposal has been very shaky by I expect that to straighten out

The most consistent of our draftees so far. Very impressive so far, wait till he bulks up a bit.

Wouldn't surprise me if we see Trainor in leadership group in a few years time. Even the big C later down the track. Huge fan of his work so far.
