Mod note:

Opposition posters making outlandish trade suggestions to bait the Crows board will be considered trolls and dealt with in the usual manner

No one wants a repeat of the Gibbs thread

Sheeesh . Lukoscious showing plenty as a hybrid forward , just what we need and he also has potential to get better in contested situations I50 with more confidence

What pick is he worth?

 

[GROTTO]

I want Lukosius if he develops as a forward this year. But not at 900k. Not even close.

I would love for us to get him if it was $900k, but only if he played like a $900k player.

I think paying overs like this, is a good way to screw our salary cap.

In any case, Port will be going into a rebuild soon, will be interesting how all this pans out in a few years.

 

[GROTTO]

What pick is he worth?

If Port are paying anywhere near $900k, he is worth two 1sts.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

If Port are paying anywhere near $900k, he is worth two 1sts.

Or a top 4 pick

 

[latinoheat]

If Port are paying anywhere near $900k, he is worth two 1sts.

Or as a pear supporter would say, straight swap with Dixon

Not watching, but how's Luko getting his goals? More from groundwork and general athleticism, or is he clunking marks?

Either way, I'm all for bringing in more goalkicking power haha

How's Stengle going?

If he does this most weeks than its an easy decision to go after him.

 

[BRL121]

How's Stengle going?

Nothing.

He's still outside, but he is definitely showing more speed and intent in this match, together with a good mark.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Nothing.

Nothing from Rankine either, it seems

Not a great day for small forwards

 

[cleanhands]

Nothing from Rankine either, it seems

Not a great day for small forwards

Or not great small forwards ?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

How's Stengle going?

Struggling

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Not a great day for small forwards

Rankine looks very fit but devoid of confidence and his magic

If ever a player needed a change it’s him , I don’t think it’s GC fault just one of those things

I’m in the Luko camp if he keeps developing as a forward this year

Ainsworth disagrees

He’s doing things we could do with like running hard and covering ground and providing an outlet kick option ( sort of like our Tom lynch but with potentially more threat I50 in time )

 

[Banshee23]

If the afl app is to be believed, Luko has been benched for the last quarter.

 

[1990crow]

If the afl app is to be believed, Luko has been benched for the last quarter.

It is. Wasn't out there

 

[cleanhands]

Ainsworth disagrees

Wasn’t a reference to him

 

[AFC979810]

If the afl app is to be believed, Luko has been benched for the last quarter.

Benched is negative.

Rested is positive.

Luko rested.

 

[1970crow]

Benched is negative.

Rested is positive.

Luko rested.

In trial games it's the same thing.

 

[Betts are off]

Jack looks substantially thicker through the core from those highlights.

Good sign if he's serious about taking a full time key forward post this year.

Ben King out may be a blessing to force Luko to become a key forward...
