Couldn't be more excited - Luke is from my local club.
You won't hear anyone say a bad word about the kid - wasn't a super star as a junior but a a very hard working kid. Went thru the Swans Academy but they didn't rate him at draft time [they took Will Gould from Glenelg who is yet to play] so he luckily went to SA just before Covid lockdown hit to play SANFL at Glenelg to follow his dream. He's a talented intercept marker with good disposal and decision making who has grown physically a lot since his draft year. Will probably keep growing for another few years in a full time professional environment. He has done it hard way.
Think of him as a young Phil Davis. He brings a point of difference as he is a type of player [apart from maybe Caleb Marchbank] that we don't have and could sorely do with. Go well young fella - fingers crossed it is the first of many.........
