In his own words
What type of player are you?
Elusive and flexible. I can play back, forward and on ball. Team player.
Which AFL player do you feel you resemble and why?
I think I resemble a Stephen Hill and Cyril Rioli type of player who really runs with the ball and takes on opponents with their ability and lightning speed.
What are your strengths as a footballer?
My speed, agility and being team orientated. I win my own ball and am good at stoppages. Awareness to make quick decisions a split second before other players. Good overhead mark.
What parts of your game would you like to improve?
Improving my accuracy on opposite foot and converting more goals.
Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
Essendon. I came to barrack for them because of the number of skilful indigenous players I model my game on, by taking on opponents and running the lines while applying pressure with my tackling.
Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
My dad and Garry Hocking, who coached me at different stages of my career. They taught me how to improve my skills and tactical awareness.

From another unnamed website (Lions supporter completed the write-up):
31. Western Bulldogs - Luke Dahlaus
DOB: 21/08/92, Height: 177cm, Weight: 72kg
Club: Geelong Falcons (VIC)
Bio: Luke is a small forward who just makes things happen through his workrate. He is extremely quick, usually a good user of the ball but needs to work on his efficiency when under pressure, very team orientated, good awareness, amazing ability and for his size he is very strong, can win his own ball and stoppages and can take a great overhead mark. He’s very flexible as he can play that small forward role, spend some time in the midfield or run off half back and have an impact. He performed very well in the draft combine and smashed the previous ability rest record with a time of 7.47. Dahlhaus’ performances in the TAC Cup speak for themselves. He averaged 21 possessions, six tackles and more than a goal a game when he played and when he got a chance in the midfield he made the most of it with a 35 possession game against the Bushrangers and followed it up with 29 touches against Calder. He finished third in the Morrish Medal and was named in the TAC Cup team of the year.

Good pick I think, I like players that get plenty of the ball, shows they know where to be and what they have to do to get it.
Disposal doesn't look too flash but he looks a goer.
In a few years time I can see him in a Harbrow role for some reason. There are a few similarities.
