Apart from Lukosius being a soft bigman .....he's too similar to Marshall & Georgiadis

bigger issue is that georgiadis and marshall are injury prone.

once luko is the main target he is going to get gorilla-ed

 

[George Kramer]

I don’t think I’ve seen the board so united

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Correct .....add Boak (36), Soldo (under sufferance), Wines (too slow), Lord (poor goalkicking technique) .....it's a diabolical list going into 2025

Where's their height ??

 

[Geoffa32]

I don’t know why Rowey sucks up Ports arse so much? Is it to talk down Reid?

Cos Cardone is his boss.

 

[Geoffa32]

As posted on Port’s forum - this is there potential best 23

If they get any injuries - they are ****ed

Georgiades and Luko are very similar forwards.

 

[hippyhippy]

This is so delicious..

I am just utterly astounded by how bad this trade period has turned out for the powa flogs..

They actually thought they got off to a flyer and beat big bro up the road by securing Luko.. or should I say “jack watts 2.0”..

They definitely believed they’d get one of cumming or perryman for nothing (free agent)
So they shopped AA Dan beleiving they had a replacement..

Then..
No cumming
No perryman

Stuck having to offload AA Dan so they could follow through with Luko.. plus dan had decided to give them the middle finger by then and asked to be traded to vicco.. and richards (fxxk knows what they see in him)

Got a pineapple with no lube inserted up their arses in the eventual trade.. lost their future first.. got 13 and a heap of junk speculator picks.

Somehow got rory fxxkn atkins added with the pineapple.

Is it the worst trade period for a club in the history of the AFL?…

Coildnt happen to a nicer bunch of *****.. supporter base included

So basically traded dan for luko and moved their future first to this year... Not a win imho

Lol, I wouldnt put Luko in jack watts category. He's not a KPF though, more a high half forward flanker who can deliver into the F50 or alternatively a rebounding defender.

Pick 13 will slide

Doesn’t mean anything

 

[ABAB]

So basically traded dan for luko and moved their future first to this year... Not a win imho

And took on salary dumps of 2 players totalling $2.2M of their salary cap.

 

[Crow till I die]

Doesn’t mean anything

They will get a good player but fingers crossed nothing as good as the top end mid we are going to get...AND we still have our F1

 

[FR0GGY]

More meaning it doesn’t matter if it slides, it’s irrelevant to anything but points.

 

[BunjiMC]

Don't laugh too hard yet.

Multiple GWS players to be suspended to start next season after dressups gone wrong at an after season party.

Fingers crossed it's not Peatling or Cumming.

 

[FR0GGY]

 

[Crow till I die]

bigger issue is that georgiadis and marshall are injury prone.

AND they should be getting a hard draw due to their top 4 finish and they have almost no depth. They are contenders to really drop next season. That half back and full back line someone put up of theirs looks so lightweight, i can't wait for the next showdown to test it out with our power forwards and dangerous smalls

 

[Crow till I die]

For sure. I was just expanding on from your point

AFC to delist them. Geelong to take them on

 

[FR0GGY]

Usually when a team takes a salary dump player they get compensated for it, looks like port almost paid for the privilege?

 

[spenze]

Rat is just a salary dump pure and simple, I dont expect we see him much in the seniors

People are mad if they don't think Atlins fits in that 15-22 player on their list, their list is shallow AF

 

[pjcrows]

Atrocious deal for Port (funny, but atrocious). Unsurprised they aren't going through with it.

Just catching up... hang on... they went through with it?!

 

[Peter Doherty]

Not sure how fresh this GWS new is, but if it involved Cumming and Peatling, surely the media would be pushing that angle.

 

[George Kramer]

Nah, they’re not naming players yet

 

[El Doederino]

So the GWS thing sounds like they did some poor taste but not illegal stuff at a private event that was players only.

Why are the afl getting involved?
