Strengths: The nephew of former Collingwood (and Carlton!) player Mick, Luke is another of the developing tall forwards from Queensland to show promise in 2004.

Luke is still skinny but can take some strong contested grabs and is a good set shot. He even did some ruckwork for Queensland. Although too small to do this at AFL level, it does show his mobility and leap. Was a talented high jumper and distance runner at high school.

Weaknesses: Still has a fair bit to learn about the game and needs to put on some weight. Would be a speculative selection.

Footydraft.com comment: Personally I definitely think he is worth a punt late in the draft, although the Lions may end up taking him on their rookie list. Plenty of work to do, but plenty to like.
