that doesnt happen for no reasonGeelong get the player and pick 7.
We will give up pick 7 to get the player.
The difference between a competent club and an incompetent one.
In his on field interview after the Port game Dangerfield said that Bowes came to the cats even though he had an offer for more money elsewhere, maybe that was us? Maybe we were prepared to pay him his full gc contract money, rather than smoothing it out over extra years like the cats did?I have some vague memory that Dangerfield struck a friendship with him and that they were talking to each other most of the year
If you read it correctly it says I’m not sure what he meant by only the crows can stuff it up… so I’m guessing as to the reasons howSo the guy getting pushed out by a club and coach, and getting stiffed on the most valuable 2 years of a back ended contract by that club, wants "the best deal" for that club.
Sounds legit
And the third party, the AFL, who changed the rules so it could happen. The AFL media should be ashamed that they let that proceed without any scrutiny. Shows they know where their bread is buttered. Contrast that to the absolute refusal to let anything about the camp die down no matter what.that doesnt happen for no reason
something happened under the table and it happened twice between GC and Geelong. its not about competence its about some kind of corruption between the people involved on both sides. there is no other explanation
I’m guessing the playing group and off-field staff might not be on the same page? Playing group likes him a lot and still sees him as valuable, while Campbell/Hardwick see differentlyIf you read it correctly it says I’m not sure what he meant by only the crows can stuff it up… so I’m guessing as to the reasons how

Feenix has a lot riding on Luko not coming so of course he's going to be like this about anything saying otherwise. Of course if it actually happens he'll just shift the goalposts and act like he never said anything...In fairness, the "wanting to get a good deal for GC" was speculation from Swan97, not his/her source (which he/ she was pretty clear about).
Rubbish. He's stated Lukos dad has said the family previously haven't been big AFC fans given how Jarman and Edwards sons were dealt with.Feenix has a lot riding on Luko not coming so of course he's going to be like this about anything saying otherwise.

Yeah, apparently Weagles strongly considering him.Cal Twomey is usually bang in with his draft predictions. A month ago he had Draper ranked as the 7th best mid this year.
No idea why so many on here are saying he’ll go to WC at 3, none of us would have the slightest clue how it will pan out.
Cal Twomey’s 2024 Draft Predictions
collingwood have already said they are out of the luko raceReckon Collingwood may offer their pick ~30 for Luko and they (GC) are shopping to see if they can get a better deal elsewhere.... Feel like pick 25 is slightly overs for both ANB and Luko but will probably be used for one of them
Think there’s a less than .1 chance that pick is traded, at this pointYeah, apparently Weagles strongly considering him.
Regardless of who they take, there will be a quality midfielder at pick 4... which we must not trade!
Realistically, Pies are not going to take Lukosius on $950K pa, given they are still paying for players at other clubs.collingwood have already said they are out of the luko race
its afc or port
i look at this like this if i was lukoRealistically, Pies are not going to take Lukosius on $950K pa, given they are still paying for players at other clubs.
My gut feel says he chooses Port as they have more of a need, but not sure Lukosius is a logical thinker given he is considering remaining at Gold Coast.

From memory Bowes said geelong was the one that made him feel like they wanted him the most and not the pick (yeah they fooled him)In his on field interview after the Port game Dangerfield said that Bowes came to the cats even though he had an offer for more money elsewhere, maybe that was us? Maybe we were prepared to pay him his full gc contract money, rather than smoothing it out over extra years like the cats did?
What's rubbish is this crap about the Edwards and Jarman sons being dealt with unfairly, both were lucky to be given a shot at an AFL career given not one other AFL club had one iota of interest in either. Tyson Edwards especially has a history of being a malcontent.Rubbish. He's stated Lukos dad has said the family previously haven't been big AFC fans given how Jarman and Edwards sons were dealt with.
Whether that's fair from the three families is of course up for debate, but we have form with misleading players or playing them in the team before delisting them. That's the problem with not being consistent in match committee and rewarding form.
I happen to know for a fact what Feenix has said is true.
But circumstances have changed since Hardwick doesn't want Lukosius contract on GCs books, and the club are actively trying to offload him because they dont intend to play him as a forward and spend that much on a fringe player, and Jack now doesn't really have a choice other than to find himself the best deal as well as future opportunity to play AFL.
Which by all reports appears to be the Crows. He's not going to snub his nose at a 7 year deal on good money just because the family weren't happy with how the other 2 were dealt with.
If Port offered the same deal and could get GC to agree to the trade Lukosius would likely choose Port.
He's had some shocking misses in front of goal. One I can never forget was his 25m kick on a slight angle which didn't even make the distance and Brodie Smith marked it uncontested in the goal square.I would call Drapers kick elite for a ruck. His 55 meter lace out bullett to Wright in the first quarter against us was possibly the best kick by a ruckman I’ve ever seen. We must see very different things.
Anyway, we’ll see next year.
See "whether that is fair or not".What's rubbish is this crap about the Edwards and Jarman sons being dealt with unfairly, both were lucky to be given a shot at an AFL career given not one other AFL club had one iota of interest in either. Tyson Edwards especially has a history of being a malcontent.
I see that and it's crap, both were given a chance which was being charitable by the Crows given neither Ben or Jackson had a skerrick of interest from other clubs and we were very upfront with Luke and again that was the right decision..See "whether that is fair or not".
Don't need to convince me.I see that and it's crap, both were given a chance which was being charitable by the Crows given neither Ben or Jackson had a skerrick of interest from other clubs and we were very upfront with Luke and again that was the right decision..
Agree with first sentence but logic dictates it’s partly a salary dump along with a player they don’t rate that highly. Not a top 10 player for them going forward but on 1m/year doesn’t equate.This is just an assumption, there is no intel or reports to validate this theory
GC have been vocal about they are happy for Luko to stay if the right deal can’t get done
Salary dump is not a factor in this trade
