Lukas Markovic

Re: Lukas Markovic

He shows signs he’s a similar mould as Morry Morris... Focuses on doing all the little things well and combines this with a super hard work ethic. With luck, he turns out to have a similar career to the number 38 too! Hope he continues to kick on...

Next – Mulligan...

I loved the way Marco tried to crash through the pack at one point, rugby style. He got caught, but who cares. Gutsy player and I love this kid.

He'll never have Morris' flexibility to play small and tall, but he does have better disposal. Beautiful kick, especially for a guy his size.

Cant see a problem with Lake, Markovic and Williams being in the same team. I recall too well hearing the commentators saying for what seemed like years "The Bulldogs arent tall enough down back to be a threat".

That was because Williams was always injured.

Sounds like 2008. Then in 2009 that was forgotten and we were too small up forward. So in 2010 we had Hall and we STILL lost the prelim.

Re: Lukas Markovic

I'm talking the late 90's even. We had blokes like Southern and Kretiuk trying to play tall all the time.

Re: Lukas Markovic

You'd assume he'd keep his spot in the 22 all year. Leading the team in 1%ers. Really enjoying watching him play this year. Goes hard at it. Nullifies most contests and is a reliable user of the ball.

Fair effort for a bloke who was only meant to play 1 or 2 games until Lake got fit.

Some players just grasp any opportunity they can and run with it. Anyone who questioned his ability to play at AFL level due to pace (myself included) are quite happily eating humble pie given his efforts so far this year.

He has been very solid down back. I need to see him in 12 months time before I am convinced about his longevity at senior level.

Re: Lukas Markovic

Nah, Im convinced. The era of congested forward lines does a lot to hide his pace and agility issues. Hed be burnt off by a quick agile forward in a pagans paddock situation, but that doesnt happen much these days.

Re: Lukas Markovic

He is making the most of his ability and has taken his chance. Dont think he is a long term proposition though, and doubt he will play 50 games.

Lukas will be 100 gamer the kid tries his heart out like Picken if we had a team like these 2 we would win the flag.

Re: Lukas Markovic

big test for him this week
i dont think he will get much help in the contests and whoever he plays on is in form.
if he passes this week - i think he will win many more fans besides me
