Re: Lukas Markovic

Do you think if Lake comes back in, Lukas can be switched to the 2nd ruck role and maybe with some help from Jones in the forward line?

Don't think he won to many fans this week JGS.

I think you may find it was Pop Gun Tommy that did the most damage yesterday.

GFiven oru lack of midfield pressure he barely had a chance.
Was definately beaten in two one on ones with Kennedy - one he started from well out of position. Josh is a very, very good footballer.

Josh appears significantly larger and stronger than Lucas

Bit hard to win every contest when the ball was being constantly bombarded into the F50 and he was left 1 on 1 without any support against a far more experienced opponent

Will be better for the experience

I felt sorry for Markovic on Sunday. He was made to look silly at times. He deserves better for what he has given us this year in the absence of Lake.

..and he'll learn. He's a 24 y.o with the AFL experience of a 19 y.o. He doesn't deserve better, he owes it to himself to learn from this a perform better in the future, hopefully with a little help from the midfield.

Re: Lukas Markovic

Bump.

Reckon this bloke has flown under the radar. Looking like a very good draft smokey(stealing from the Hawks earns bonus points) and a good option for resting ruck.

Looks more assured every game he plays. May never be a champion but really love his endeavour and aerial ability.

Re: Lukas Markovic

I like him, I like him alot Think he is gaining more and more confidence each game and is looking like he could be a solid player for us in the very near future!

Re: Lukas Markovic

Yep...he just needs to eliminate some of those disposal clangers. Doesn't happen often but you sure notice it when he does. Happened again in the first quarter on Sunday when he kicked straight to Judd who fortunately missed the goal. Anyone notice how Marko appears to be a far more competent kick on his non-preferred side?

On the plus side, he is one sweet spoiler.

A Presti type?

Yes but maybe a bit slower but with better kicking skills.

Yes. I was surprised how well he kicks the ball over middle to long distances.

I had heard that he is a left hander which I guess makes the ball drop onto his left foot a little easier.

His lack of pace is a concern as can get found out at times, but over the course of the season he has filled in pretty well.

Re: Lukas Markovic

I know he is older than they were on debut but you would compare his first few games very favorably with early indications from Lake and Williams. You can see he still lacks a bit of confidence, but there is a lot of upside to come.

What do you see in regard to this 'upside'?
