Wallace has heaped praise on Lukey in his EOTT article. Here's a snippet:

"Luke has been our best defender against ‘talls’ ..... There was a time when we weren’t sure how far this gangly kid from Queensland would go. But through his dedication and hard work, he is now selecting himself in the senior side each week and is starting to gain genuine recognition."

He last mentions McGuane's jobs on Lucas early and the Bomber resting rucks later on in the game and the run down of Jetta to save a goal.

Yep he's ungainly but he has those inspector gadget arms that come in handy spoiling. Did a decent job overall containing Bradshaw last night too.

He was fantastic last night, i reckon with Thirsty, McGaune, Moore that we could have a defence that will be the envy of a few clubs, if it isn't already

Just Milne would do.  No-one in the competition comes close to giving me the dark brown lumps like that little weasel.  Any of the others on the list would be a mere bonus!

Agree WP, he is a KPP with ground level skills and should play all year

Long term, he is the best of our "key 3". Hoping he can really nail chb this year.
