His consistency and consistency of performance has been a rare positive out of this year. Strong form in the VFL.

No doubt Goodwin won't bring him in off the back of it!

    I think bringing him in now, in any extended way, with such an interrupted pre season, is simply a recipe for trouble. GIving the kids a go Vs throwing them to the wolves. I reckon we give him a game in the last game of the year, or the second last. Give him a taste so that it might spark him off for a massive pre season.

    Looking at Luker in a more dispassionate way he has similar traits to Daniel Turner, he has courage, strong hands, excellent kicking action, some ability and both are quite humble and likeable individuals and we picked them both up in the mid season draft which only cost us a spot on the list.

    who are you playing him instead of?

    The second last, definitely the second last. Not the last. I’m not sure I could handle watching him run out against that despicable pack of thugs.

    Judging by the weekends game I'm pretty sure he could handle himself well against them.

    Looks to have a low threshold where defenders trying to get into him are concerned.

    Why, I know Luker won’t back down and will give as good as he gets. Pies boys would learn quickly he won’t be intimidated

    He sure gave it to the Carlton player who tried to manhandle him on the weekend.

    Poor guy took 5 minutes to get back up off the deck....

    I hope this to be the case if indeed he is selected to play against them. It’s the thug culture of that club that worries me.

    My biggest concern is he cops a stray Darcy Moore knee. Seems that he can do no wrong in the eyes of the afl.

    This is what I mean. If we can all see the obvious bias surely the Collingwood players can as well. Therefore they can play with thuggish abandon.

    IF no injuries, then I think giving Jeffo a week off wouldn’t be especially harmful . Hes getting a good go now.

    Spending some time as a tall defender probably helps forwards understand their role a bit better - one David Neitz starts as a defender (I think he actually was AA).

    Think i read somewhere it was the Carlton player in Jordan Boyd who he ragdolled in that last quarter.

    Certainly doesn't take a backwards step regardless who it is.

    I am getting more bullish on Luker with each Casey game.

    Been in great form recently. Marking strongly and has kicked 16 goals over the past 6 games. Does he get a taste of senior footy before the year is out?

    Fitness might still be against him. If he plays he plays next week, not against the Mugpies.

    For mine, as long as it’s not in round 24. Luker himself thinks this would be fine (he’s super keen to debut) but I’d rather it wasn’t against those revolting thugs.

    To me he seems like the perfect bloke to debut against the grubs. He doesn't take a backward step on the field. He's almost the anti-Watts.

    Love him, get him in!

    Geez I’m nervous and excited in equal parts at the prospect of him debuting against them. But I’ll trust the selectors, if they deem him ready, so be it. I’ll just watch the entire match like this…

    Am I right in saying we were playing him in defence for much of the season?

    I'd be really happy to see him get a crack at it, but lets not throw him to to wolves to make him the "main option".

    admittedly ive not seen much of luker, but he is a main option type of player, hes a bigger body and taller than MJ AJ and JVR and when he hits packs they stay hit, his role is what will allow other forwards to get 2nd defenders

    Collingwood will be playing for top 2/4 or 6. He’ll be right and they’ll be on their best behaviour.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
