I agree Lukac is worth persisting with.

However from the two matches I saw him play I would say that he needs to get more aggressive in 'demanding' the footy be kicked to him and also to hunt the ball when it goes to ground rather than sitting back.

That said, it's easy to forget he is only about 18 years old so hopefully these aspects of his game will pick up in time.

Good to see the April Premiers celebrating again already. Jade has said publicly that we have an upside of as much as 50% in us when we get the balance right. Redden is critical to us achieving this balance.
