Big job for Bulldog debutant

Re: Big job for Bulldog debutant

Last year I asked why Lucas wasn't getting a game. Too Slow, Skills not good enough, poor decision making.
Mmmmmmmmm

Not sure about the skills bit even by reputation, his kicking at VFL level has generally been very good, especially for a big man.

If he breaks even with a Hille or a Hurley we should be exstatic - that would be an outstanding debut.

He certainly doesn't need to be a Lake clone. He just needs to play a decent negating game and not make any critical errors. Despite his more mature age, this is still his first game of AFL and we can't expect too much from him. It;s going to be up to the more experienced guys, particularly Williams to pick up the slack. Williams is going to have his hands full with Ryder/Hille and needs to have a strong game.

Good luck and congratulations Lucas - you've worked hard for this!

If Marcovic can stand up as an AFL standard key defender we then get the opportunity to occasionally play Lake or Marcovic as a swing man. I can imagine either playing the Nick Maxwell role down back and loved it when Lake pushed up forward a few times last year - the panic on the defenders faces was obvious (like a fox in the chook pen.)

Hopefully he has a good game,

If he plays on Hille i think he will struggle. He seemed to find it difficult against a larger and much stronger Hawkins in the NAB cup game, but has been pretty decent against players more his own size.

Hille hasn't had much of a pre-season so may not be his absolute best. If Markovic does have to take a turn on Hille, hopefully his footy smarts combined with Hille being a bit underdone means he'll at least break even.

That'd be a good result for us, but I reckon he may spend most of his time on Hurley anyway.

Re: Big job for Bulldog debutant

So what his nickname?

Markovic sounds Serbian/Russian.

Lucas 'Stalin' Markovic- ruling the defensive 50 with an iron fist.

Nicknames don't need to be entirely factual.


I like Drago. Favourite Rocky movie of the lot.

Im thinking his dad followed the doggies due to our colors being the same as his dad's country of origin flag.

Re: Big job for Bulldog debutant

I believe his nickname is Horse

Re: Big job for Bulldog debutant

His name is most likely either Serbian or Croatian. Although Lukas is not really a name used in either of those countries.

Re: Big job for Bulldog debutant

He speaks well and sounds like he is well and truly ready. All the best Lucas.
