Pick 22 - Luke Dahlhaus

[EasternWest]

So long, Luke. Thanks for all the fish.

[bornadog]

Thanks Luke for your services. Shame you turned out to be so *!*!*!*!ing immature

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Very sad it ended this way. I would suggest that with maturity and some self-reflection Luke may come to regret how he handled this as well as accept respinsibility for being in the predicament he was contract wise.

[SlimPickens]

Best of luck to Luke. Was overall fantastic for the Dogs. I see the tit for tat stuff between him and Murph as exactly that and don't think it was anything to do with the footy club. Doing what is best for him within the profession and can't blame him for that.

[Axe Man]

Can we please get Danny back to do the banners next year, or at least just for the Geelong game? I'm sure he will be able to work motivated in there somewhere.

[Murphy'sLore]

Axe Man! It's MOTOVATED

[Axe Man]

Axe Man! It's MOTOVATED

Ha, I knew he screwed it up but I couldn't be bothered finding the exact spelling of Luke's version of the word.

Your typical cheer squad member would misspell it anyway.

This bullshit from Luke:

recruit Luke Dahlhaus says he’s returned home to Geelong to be closer to family. He says he began to feel a bit stale @westernbulldogs but says he’s made up with Bob Murphy and has “nothing but love for him and the club.”

[SlimPickens]

This bullshit from Luke:

Why do you think that?

[bornadog]

Why do you think that?

Closer to mummy, for gods sake. Geelong is just down the road.

Stale - sorry can't have that, how do you become stale.

[chef]

See you Luke, thanks for the flag. Not sad that hes gone as he sounds like a bit of a flog.

Pick 25 is fair enough too.

[Axe Man]

Luke, Bob fighting like Cats and Dogs no more

NEW GEELONG recruit Luke Dahlhaus says he's patched things up with former skipper Robert Murphy.

The Western Bulldogs veteran was critical of Dahlhaus' commitment, with the comments made in his position as a media commentator.

Dahlhaus then hit back on social media from his holiday in Portugal.

"In hindsight I would have definitely handled myself a lot different," the 25-year-old told reporters in Geelong on Friday.

"The emotions just got to me and I'm disappointed with how I acted.

"I contacted Bob and we've sorted it out and showed our love to each other.

"It's all sorted, nothing but love for him and for the club."

Dahlhaus, has moved to the Cats as an unrestricted free agent, signing a four-year contract.

He admits his form suffered because of the uncertainty about his future, but denies there's a culture crisis at the Kennel.

"It can't be as bad as people are saying, there were a couple of reports going on during that year that we knew as boys at the club that weren't true," he said.

Dahlhaus insists his move is about him, not the club he's exited.

"I think that's what it was in the end, (I) just wanted to come home and have a bit of a fresh start," he said.

"It's weird, but it feels right."


After his social media antics I didn't know what to expect, but this is respectful so credit to him (even though his management and/or Geelong probably told him what to say). Although the uncertainty about his future must have started soon after the grand final win?

Stale - sorry can't have that, how do you become stale.

Easy! how does one not become stale, an easier question. A premiership hero, according to friends at the club, easily the most popular player with kids at community events ( Dahlhaus clubhouse? at one point I think he had his own kids group, in the deadlock era). Thanks for everything.

[SlimPickens]

Fair enough. Personally i think the club forced Luke’s hand (rightly so), so all the best to him. Good list management from us. Think I’m pretty much immune to player movement now (it’s the new black).

[Remi Moses]

Agree with Slim . No longer outraged by player movement, as it seems to be growing .
Luke’s been phenomenal for a rookie pick and heart and soul player for us .
Good move for both parties as he’s got a bit stale since the flag
