Player Watch #31 Luke Trainor

I don't reckon it'll long before he's getting 25+ disposal games. Was heading that way today, but just ran out of gas in the last.

Yep, as did Sammy and Armstrong, no surprises there given it’s their first season. Can’t wait until these kids get 40-50 games under their belts

time to put a extension contract in front of this kid.
A long career in the yellow & black taken care off.

I said it the day these kids got drafted
Give them all 4 year extensions from the 1st day they walk into the club

yes all 8 of them

His kicking is very very good. He did make 2’shit decisions in the space of about 30 seconds. But oh well.

Came after a collision where he copped a knock to his hips I think

Was at the game and was tracking the kids and how they move. Really liked how much Trainor is developing and his defensive efforts.

Sure he made a few mistakes but he is in game 3 so....

his kicking is a bit horrible

1 poor kick does not make you a horrible kick, Sam Banks didn't exactly have the greatest awareness either.

Made a few errors with ball in hand but that was more from inexperience/ lack of confidence than anything. He’s got good skills and 50 games in you’ll see those errors disappear.

Love how involved he is in the game.
Gets to a lot of contests and makes generally good decisions. His kicking has been suspect but I think that’s a fitness thing which will come in good time.
Like how he interacts with his teammates

I don’t mind him making mistakes trying to take the game on. He will continously learn what works and we'll be laughing when we contend again.

Yup, It isn’t a skill issue it’s one that’s about experience
But it’s something that will organically improve over time
Hope he keeps trying to take those risky kicks

They will be the ones that make him a very dangerous player for us

Been impressive so far

Could play almost any position in the ground I reckon

Absolute gun with real campaigner about him

Love what we've seen from him so far. Kicking errors are understandable. The situational awareness to not handball (and to take the tackle) when he takes it in a heavily contested situation 30 metres out can be learned. I'm sure it'll be in his edits this week.
