Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 25, last 28th August)

Best news about Luko being dropped is there goes any chance of pick 4 being involved. Not best 23 = not 1st round pick imo

One things for sure, Hardwick will hold players to account. As all good coaches do

You mean good coaches don't auto select the player who is worst on ground most weeks? Hmm strange.

Rankine also got dropped in his time at the Suns if I recall correctly? Might have even been more than once?

St Kilda's logo is great. I imagine the new design will be worse

Lukosius had a good season playing in the forward line last year, Hardwick then initially played him in the back line and then moved him back forward and he hasn't been as good as last year outside of kicking 5 goals against Geelong.

Ah well I guess the tenants in Luko's Grange mansion will soon be out on the street then?

Probably quicker to Alberton than Thebby?

Being dropped as an established player is more damning than being dropped in your early days

Takes away a lot of bargaining power for the Suns

I don't have memory on that one but with 3 games left it feels telling

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Wonder at what cost though

Certain it won’t be pick 4

Maybe a couple of 2nd rounders ?

1x 2nd rounder is plenty.

He's not a gun.

Oh dear, post my whole post if you are going to quote me.

If you see a Luko as a competitive beast that is worth our attention - good for you.

If you want to show the exceptions that prove the rule … knock yourself out.

I don’t see the characteristics I need to see in a player of Luke’s build or position. I made it very clear multiple times that he would be welcome in our 22 at the right price… in fact if you look back you’ll see I referred to Luko as an upgrade a loooong time ago … you are stuck on a “trying to win BF” loop that clouds your ability to make sensible choices.

So go find some other topic that you struggle to comprehend and hound someone else about that.

You noticed that as well

He could be handy. Not a gun, but handy.

 

[Mutineer]

He could be handy. Not good.

I disagee, he could be both good and handy with his elite kicking, we'd just need to use his skills to our advantage.

In that Tom Lynch “connection “ role

In that Tom Lynch “connection “ role

Not sure Nicks has that in his game plan

 

[GameofSloanes]

If we downgrade our first for their first plus whatever our 2nd pick is for whatever theirs is immediately after that how are we looking for Lukosius currency?

Cap space
+ 1st and 2nd round upgrades

Enough? They're probably a bit too close to us on the ladder for that

No. Our first is for an elite mid only.

Fresh looks on the cards as clubs explore new logos - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1190784

New logo!!

Have to do it before the new HQ, makes sense. I'd go back to the late 90s one or something similar

But with modern finishes

Luko doesn’t work hard enough for that role

always thought this should be our logo

Returning that away guernsey this year could be foreshadowing

 

[Redline]

1x 2nd rounder is plenty.

He's not a gun.

I tend to agree but I think it will be a future first with a whole lot of other pick swaps.

I don't think the Suns will want another pick this year and we won't give up pick 4.

Its possible that a combination of Keane, Berry and some other lower pick swaps could land a future 1st in some form so it could even be that pick.

If the Suns want a future pick, then future 2nd.

Luko is not worth a 1st rounder or 2x 2nd rounders.

He's not a need nor is he a gun.

 

[DJ75]

How do you propose that works if the players don’t want to be traded?

"Hey Rory, you've been great. We love you. But reality is we think your future is in the SANFL....there is an alternative though..."

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Given some of the utterly bizarre trading GC have done in last few years, a future 2nd round pick for Luko would probably seem the most sensible and rationale thing they have done in comparison.

I'd look at Luko if no first round picks are involved.
