Here's an interview he did on the Dyl & Friends podcast. He's a highly intelligent man with a big future after footy.

Thanks for that. I haven't been following this closely enough (nor have I watched the entire speech but he comes across very well) but I'm curious when he says that he loves the boys at West Coast but loves his two sons more so the implication is that he's requested the trade for family reasons. Isn't he WA born and bred and he had 3 remaining years on his contract? What am I missing?

I think he’s referring to the security he’s been offered by Hawks..
A fourth year with a trigger for a fifth, which West Coast weren’t prepared to offer was my take..

His father recently passed away. He is very close with his siblings and his brother and sister have moved to Melbourne. His sister was living in Sydney last year when the Barrass to Swans option was explored. The strong contract Hawthorn have offered will of course also play a part.

Who said $1.75m per season?

Easy mistake but you could've worded it better.

Saying "Lukosius contract is back ended and he's owed around $1.75m over the 2025 & 2026 seasons" can easily be interpreted as 3.5mill in total owing. Would've been better saying 1.75mil per season owing over the 2025 + 2026 seasons.

Ah, okay, makes sense! Thanks for the extra detail. Fantastic player, seems like a great guy. The trade will hopefully work out well for all parties.

to Hawthorn via free agency.
The Saints have been hoping for band one compensation, which would come after their first pick in this year’s draft (pick No. 8), but Nine’s Tom Morris thinks it’s a real possibility that they’ll instead receive an end-of-first round selection which will be pushed out beyond pick No. 21 once Academy and father-son bids come in.
Morris says that there’s every chance the compensation is band two due to the money that Battle has signed for at Hawthorn, which isn’t on average above $900,000 a year - a number many think is necessary to trigger band one compensation.

Its not 1.75m a season

Its over 2 years

true.. if Hawks are taking that salary on, will need a late first atleast and smooth it over to 3 seasons for 2m total with trigger for 4rth at the same 670K avg.
Luko has all the talent & is impressive when on, upto list management to see if he will grow further under Sam.

Lot of these is play on words. His HFC contract offer is over 6 yrs so avg is likely under 900k, but Compo is calculated for max period of 5 yrs. IMO, if Saints are willing to play ball, then we should structure contract to avg over 900k for 5 yrs. Trade for Sam Butler for a start.

Frawley didn't get that much. Neither is McKay (norf).

It's silly thinking there's an actual schedule or formula that generates a specific band of pick(s). It's whatever suits that AFL's agenda at the time, sprinkled with luck.
