Biography |
Luke Jericho (Born October 18, 1984) is an Australian rules
footballer, who currently plays for Adelaide in the AFL. He
was recruited as a second round pick in the 2002 AFL Draft,
selection number 32 overall. He made his debut in 2004,
against St Kilda, and kicked a goal on debut. He ended up
playing 15 games for the year, and scoring 10 goals.
In 2005, he played just the 5 games, scoring 5 goals,
including a four goal haul against Essendon in Round 11. In
the 2006 season, he could not break into the team, and opted
to have a shoulder reconstruction in July, meaning he would
be sure to miss the rest of the season.
In 2007, he once again found himself on the outer. With
injuries to Brett Burton and Mark Ricciuto, he was called up
to play against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba. As injuries
kept occurring through the team, Luke played 6 straight
games, including scoring 3 goals against Carlton in round 9,
and picking up 16 possessions. He credited Adelaide coach
Neil Craig for helping him get his career back on track. He
was then dropped after round 12, and played one more game
for the season, against Geelong in Round 19, scoring 1 goal.
At the end of the 2007 season, he was surprisingly left on
the playing list, despite only playing 11 games in 3 years,
against players such as Jason Torney and Matthew Bode, who
were delisted. |
