Just enough games left in the season to try and pump up his trade value IMHO

Fair call
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Agree Ramps. Luke played his role okay today with 2 goals and is more mobile than Miller but still is not the future. We need footballers with class and brains in Y&B. McGuane brings effort but none of the other qualities that will make us a consistent finals side. From memory it was Luke who could have ran into easy goal yet inexplicitly handpassed sideways to a flatfooted Jack with Frawley right next to him.  It shouldn't be a surprise that we bring back old names who had a line put through them and our team performance returns to the bad old days.

McG was quite good. Couple of dumb decisions but that's McG. McG should remain in the side until someone better replaces him. Not sure there is someone who can...which is pretty stuffing sad.

He's definitely be in the side next week. While he plays a role and kicks a couple of goals a week he'll keep his spot. We don't have much other choice either :-\. Thankfully it's Gold Coast next week. The only thing with Luke playing is he can't ruck so we either have to have big Ivan rucking all day alone or we bring in an inferior 2nd ruck  :-\.

Some vintage mcg on the southern stand wing today, he won a free for in the back near the boundary, didn't hear the whistle and slapped the ball behind him oob, as he thought he may have been pinged for holding the ball.. I laughed bc if the ball was still alive like he thought it was, he would've been pinged for deliberate in typical douche mcg style.    ;D

But all credit to him, he gave our fwd line a different dimension and no coincidence that jack had one of his best games for the year (except for the conversion bit)

Coach, just stop it, we called for this many months ago and te selection committee did not listen.

Good game fro mcg today. Solid!

You also want us to put our players in mothballs and give up on playing finals despite saying there were no excuses not to  at the start of the season  :huh

Wow we just beat the Dees....look out....ffs

We've also beaten Sydney and they are top of the ladder but you're right our loss last week was worse than anything the Wallace era served so lets tank at 7-7 for draft picks and finish 7-15. :thumbsup

I could see Derickx getting another go against the Suns because our options are slim with all the injuries and suspensions but not against North the following week.

Luke's unpredictable style is a liability on the back line and an asset on the forward line....think about it. 8) He also had their backman hearing footsteps and fearing a wayward, unco, suspension inciting elbow. ;D
