LUCK has deserted 2008 Young Gun nominee Michael 'Wombat' Downie from Keysborough. The rugged 20-year-old defender will be an interested onlooker for at least the first eight weeks of this season after breaking his hand in a pre-season practice match. 

Name: Michael Downie 

Club: Keysborough 

Best player seen: Shaun Daly (Keysborough) 

Hardest opponent: Dan O'Loughlin (Pakenham). 

Biggest influence on career: My Dad, Glenn. 

All time favourite sporting moment: My only premiership win in the under 15s against Edithvale-Aspendale. 

My weakness is: My height. I wish I was taller. 

Worst habit of a team mate: Will Gayfer-just his cockiness.
