Easy, easy. I'm far from sold, but he's doing a lot more than I ever expected. The next month will tell the tale. In the meantime, keep it up.
Yeah, at the risk of being labelled a "hater" or "dark sider" it's 3 games. He's exceeded expectations and that great but lets keep it in perspective.
 
Luke is becoming a cult figure, this is a great year so far, lets hope we go on with it, cannot knock a bloke that keeps presenting.

Well done Luke, I hope you rip collingwood apart.

If he comes out of the collingwood game with 2 or 3, we had a 3rd forward under our noses for 8 years and we didn't know it.

Last years 9 games for 16 goals don't count?

Didn't Miller score something similar?

Two goals a game is great, we just need him to produce over the next few weeks. If he can do that then I might even join the bandwagon.
 
Dunno, did Miller kick similar ?

McGun showed what he could do last year when he was attracting the 2nd best defender. Norwith Plasma back,McGun is running amok.

Yes, they certainly can and 12 games for 26 is good going.....but do the previous 84 games count against? ;)
 
You can't compare miller to Mcguane.
Carey chases, busts packs, and has leg speed.
Miller was a 100 year old statue, 99% of his goals were from perfect passes. Even some those he still find a way to drop them.
Never saw him take a pack mark once.

Yeah true but for a long time there were one particular perspective being absolutely hammered here where he was described as a dud, hopeless, not up to VFL standard etc etc etc
Thankfully that perspective seems to have evaporated.

Defensive pressure was not nearly as good though

That's definitely true, if somehow McGud kicks 7 goals over the next 3 weeks I will be singing 'This is the 'N' my friend'.
 
Luke's marking has come on exponentially. Is far cleaner overhead than he's ever been.

Leysy still wants him to produce against the leading clubs over the next few weeks before he gets aboard McGuns revival.
 
What revival ? This has been McGun from the beginning. People are finally waking up to the fact that he's a Gun, Luke McGun, the Mighty Luke McGun
 
Too late Leysy, it's full.

Leysy, you and me are closer to this when it comes to McGuane. Still not sold but it's a fun ride.

Horse may have bolted, although, I'm sure he'll repay the faith. Negotiations this week?.....

No, wait for 3 weeks and see how he goes against the top sides. We'll know his worth by then. As the third tall he gets an easier run than Ty and Jack so he should actually have more output. When the opposition start putting higher quality defenders on him then he can start demanding a higher fee. And rightly so. His manager will be licking his lips atm :eek:
