Was the hero in our round 15 2001 game against Carlton at Optus, with 2 goals. Had a soft spot for him even though he was a pretty ordinary player.

Him and Godfrey were our most maligned players in the 2002-2006 era.

    I played on Luke in a practice game at the start of the year.

    Walked up to the bloke after 1/4 time and had to do a double take...deceptively tall, can't really tell much from a praccy game

    Look I'm sure he's a good guy and gave his all etc. BUT

    Luke Williams is probably the worst player I've seen pull on the MFC jumper. Certainly in the last 10 or so years anyway.

    How he lasted so long on the list is one of life's great mysteries.

    Nice to see he is still enjoying his footy!

    One of those players that felt like he was on the list forever, but only managed to scrap the odd game here or there.

    Seems to me that Williams and Scott Thompson were two players who were always on the fringe. Threatening to be something special, but for the most part didn't take the next step for the longest time. Regreattably, Luke never progressed, while Scott Thompson suddenly burst on to the scene, played a handful of excellent games for us, got injured, and then headed to Adelaide.

    So, we ended up getting pretty much nothing out of either of them.

    Guess that'll aways be the story with a certain percentage of any list...

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
