[GROTTO]

Dude just called 5AA says Luko will be a crow for f1 with f2 coming back. The caller could be full of shit too

Seriously if we give up a F1 for Luko we are f**ked.

He is worth a F2 given the state of play, its what his value was assessed a couple of months back and still holds true if anything its overs given the Suns salary cap constraints.

 

[Crow till I die]

We'd better have a good year then, if he's worth our shot at Sharp, then Luko better perform

Thought. If we got an f2 back, could our guys work the oracle to try some of those 2nds into a late 1st this year. Dodson being the aim. Then at least we are taking a guy that could be anything this year and luko for the opportunity cost of a f1 next year?

Gold Coasts biggest issue - well there are 2 in my mind - the dollars and the pushing out

We hold the cards

Our F1 is likely to be a Top 5 pick.

Nothing has convinced me otherwise with Nicks still in charge. A soft draw may give us a small chance to make the 8.

I bet our guys got spooked if this caller is on the money by port and wanted to make sure it was us. With an f1 on the table, GC are covered off from their end and a good contract covers luko off. I suspect if we did this, its a legacy cost as we have wanted him as a club since his draft year

 

[GROTTO]

Exactly.

Coach wants him out as he is surplus and from a salary cap perspective it gives them room to accommodate players that they need and want in their squad.

We hold the leverage. Taking on his contract should be part of the negotiation.

We cover the Suns by taking on Luko's ridiculous overs contract.

I like your idea of trying to get back a pick for Dodson. Do you think if we were to hold onto our current 2nd round pick (Cal T claimed it is going to Melb for ANB) Dodson would still be available? I know it is crystal ball stuff but just wondering what peoples thoughts are.

Also do people think Shane McAdam is =, <= or >= to ANB? Probably gives an indication of what might be fair for that trade?

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

Dude just called 5AA says Luko will be a crow for f1 with f2 coming back. The caller could be full of shit too

He said a F2 coming back also. Even quoted a 5 year contract

Apparently has a decent track record, claimed he told AA about Dangerfield before anyone else

 

[ABAB]

It's a good summary of the Luko situation. A future first works as long as we think we can improve. We can't give up a top 4 pick for him this year or next.

So worth the risk? We will get a much easy draw compared to this year which ended up as the most hardest draw but then we have Nicks so likely just miss out on the 8 with Nicks sacked so is Lukosius worth pick 10?

!00% If true sack Ried.

ANB is and always has been a better player.

We fleeced them big time, a rare moment of victory for JR

 

[Mostyn]

And my comment “why don’t they just get Buckley” was a sarcastic dig at a few on here who were keen on him as a replacement for sacking Nicks

I doubt Bucks coaches again - I certainly doubt it would be us or any non VIC club. Port connection being arguably the only thing that might turn his head


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Port is too small a program for him.

I think the historic value of Tasmania MIGHT be of interest, but I also think he maybe never coaches again.

Hell - why would you?

 

[Mostyn]

Seriously if we give up a F1 for Luko we are f**ked.

He is worth a F2 given the state of play, its what his value was assessed a couple of months back and still holds true if anything its overs given the Suns salary cap constraints.

The Suns can clearly keep him if they want to.

I'd rather F1 for Luko and 20. I'm fine with that

 

[Mostyn]

!00% If true sack Ried.

Oh, please. Stop with the histrionics.

The cost for Luko is something around 18 to 24. A F1 for him and a F2 is about right.

We'd all rather we got more for our players and got opposition players for less, but we should view it with independent eyes.

 

[Mostyn]

ANB is and always has been a better player.

We fleeced them big time, a rare moment of victory for JR

Why rare?

Fleeced them for pick upgrade last year. Fleeced them for Dawson. Most of his trades have been very good.

Wasn't there an article that said Reid is notorious for being a painfully difficult negotiator?

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

Some people think it’s our right to go get 10 elite players from other clubs and pay F8 picks for them. Idiots!

 

[FR0GGY]

If these people are so bored in life that they need to pretend to barrack for us to get off then all I can say is…what a waste of a life.

Thankfully likely to disappear once Power lose this weekend.

Honestly compiling lists and sending to the mods is pretty well up there with wasting one’s life.
Ignore and sail on with life!

 

[Crow till I die]

I'd rather F1 for Luko and 20. I'm fine with that

Yep, pick 20 is much better for us as that may well be in dodson territory. Then if they want our pick 25 for ANB, play a bit of hardball and try 25 and 42 for ANB and F2. Just need to make sure we end up with some later picks for welsh...but hey, if an earlier bid came in, we wouldn't hold an f1 in the above scenario so it would just chew our f2 back a bit if we had to dip into next year to match

This is what I don't understand. Why wouldn't we have just offered 25 for Luko instead of NB?

 

[fuic08]

This is that I don't understand. Why wouldn't we have just offered 25 for Luko instead of NB?

If we are spending 25 Luko makes more sense to me, ANB shouldn't be worth that much.

 

[Cromulant]

This is that I don't understand. Why wouldn't we have just offered 25 for Luko instead of NB?

It's still at the stage where the Suns want more than that. Come 3 weeks time they'll need to re-assess what they're willing to accept.

That's all well and good but we're shooting ourselves in the foot by promising 25 to Melbourne for ANB.

We end up the losers.

I was thinking this today as well

F1 for Luko and could we be trying to get their 2024 pick 20, or worse case pick 26

This will open the door to draft the young SA ruckman who is predicted to be drafted mid to late 20s

Agreed, I think it’s a good idea. It’s time to do something different. Plenty of upside with Luko and he’s ready to prove himself. Future ruckman in. And if you add Cummings then it’s not as important to have that future first coming in next season either. Track record with firsts is always worth noting
