Have heard we've got a deal 6+ year deal in front of him

Probably need to in this day and age (not just Luko but most players to get them to move)

Only thing is, GC can use that as leverage to get us to pony up the F1

“you clearly rate him, so pay up”

Sure. But we can always say, "good luck keeping Mac Andrew next year then".

Aaaaaand GC come to the table.

I’m I the only one who doesn’t want Luko?

My son doesn't want him and he is the only person I know who is a more fanatical crows supporter than me. Personally I want him but I only aant to give pick 25

And casually also let it drop that we like Lombard as well and would love to see him in our Midfield...now we can bid on him at 4 and you can burn your pick 6 matching...OR, Luko and his contract can come to us for a small price of a future 2nd rounder. Call it extortion if you like

What if Battle gets st kilda band 1. Thats pick 8. North might take that and an f1 in an even draft at the top end?

Sounds like Battle is less than $900k - so shouldn’t be band 1

Rumour was Dixon will retire boak to play on again next season

Dixon is cooked, so surely he doesn't go on.

Boak was actually one of their better players against the Hawks, but has he got another season in him? Probably worth keeping given they have plenty of ordinary players on their list.

 

[Crows I Am]

I agree about other areas of the field, but there is an argument after watching their much vaunted midfield get belted Thursday night, that apart from JHF, they are still thin on the ground and the extra top end mid might be a difference maker for them. Now their interest in Draper very much predates last Thursday, but that might have sharpened their minds even more if they feel that Rozee is not the answer in the middle and would be that crafty forward they are crying out for

Yeah fair enough. I think they need to go hard at key position players myself but can see an argument for them to bring in another quality mid.

 

[hippyhippy]

Good point. Everyone talks about their 3 elite mids but JHF feels like the only totally reliable one going forward. Rozee apparently 7 underwhelming finals performances in a row according to one of their posters. Just not a traditional Port Adelaide type captain and I wouldn’t be totally surprised to see him move aside for JHF over the next 1-2 years. He is SOFT and pretty players aren’t what September success is built on

Rankine>>>>>>>>>Rozee

You can't say that about Rankine.... Has he even played a finals yet?

Sorry to be clear I am saying Rankine will be a far greater player than Rozee over their respective careers. IMO

Rankine couldn’t have played finals as both GC and Crows haven’t played finals obviously since he was drafted

impartials like david king already think rankine is miles ahead of rozee

Jhf going to be a great player for sure but not sure why everyone is saying he was great last week. 16 posessions 8 clangers most after the game was over. Thought he was poor. Maybe it's just because everyone else for port was worse?

Agreed. I didn’t say he was great but at least he tried and is hard at it. Likely to win a B/low one day IMO as a Danger / Buckley clone

Apart from Bergman, he was the only other player trying to get the game on Ports terms - crashing in and bursting away from the contest and trying to be a threat when up forward, he was good or as good as could be expected without any real help

Supposedly he had a bad back and was iffy to play, which is why he spent so long on the bench at times. Same with Aliir, didn't want to play cause he was hurt and got told he's playing.

 

[King Elvis]

Port don't really need any more mids, they need just about every other position though. I would be surprised if they went all in for Draper.

Surely Luko would be more beneficial to them, than Draper.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Lukosius was 6th in the best and fairest last year, didn't make top 10 under Hardwick. Only top 10 listed in the article.

Doesn't help their cause to get a 1st rounder for him.

We should trade Murphy for him, he’ll finish in our top 10 again I’m sure

 

[WheresGroomgone]

That will actually be an interesting watch as to how many votes he gets…

Can we run a book on it?

well we all know he hardly missed a game.

Prediction - Gold Jacket Club Champion: October 5th

I know this will be held after we finish our finals campaign but with discussion already starting I thought we should get the pitchforks votes in early My top 4 Laird Keays Fogarty Michalanney

I’m I the only one who doesn’t want Luko?

Absolutely not. I can’t stand the thought of giving a 2nd rounder away for him. The game doesn’t suit soft talls like him. This finals series has demonstrated that.
