Rumour Jack Luk-no-sius

[ABAB]

I can't imagine either club would want to. But if push came to shove which club is more likely to?

Given the rumour of GCS now offering their pick 20 as part of the F1, I say we are.......

 

[baldandbroke]

I’m still absolutely disinterested in getting excited about either scenario.

We get Luko …

Positives - huge potential, great kick, great skills, pretty decent footy smarts.

Negatives - not physical, not a hard worker, not good 1 on 1, very rarely impacts the result.

Paer get Luko … Flip those around.

I guess the cost will determine whether it’s a good deal or not. What is the winner of Luke’s signature giving up in terms of picks / potential other players / salary cap.

We shall see.

If that turns out to be right, I'd say the deal has already been agreed to by the clubs and the player needs convincing.

But I have my doubts it's true

I wouldn't say the deal is done, likely still in discuss and GCS has recently increase their offer with pick 20 for our F1 which is inline with what the ITK poster mentioned weeks ago that the trade doesn't happen is from the Crows (they likely only offer us a straight swap for F1 then) so Lukosius has agreed but hasn't nominated a trade as we are still discussing the pick coming back (probably can hold out for pick 13).

I think those positives work better as a less accountable third tall forward (high half forward) and the negatives are mitigated, as others have pointed out, by the fact that he's unlikely to attract as much attention as Fog or TT.

In that respect he's likely to end up a more effective player for us than he is for Port, even if Port need forwards more than we do.

Why do people say this stuff?

Yet, maybe 2 deals are done in the first 48 hours of trade week and then 75% of trades are done within the last 4 hours.

No deal has been done. It's the same as some people trying to convince everyone they have inside knowledge or a source.

You are saying the same thing but putting the decision onto the player.

No decision has been made.

You didn't read it all the way through did you.

I don't think that rumour would be true at all. But it does come down to the player, when said player is contracted and doesn't particularly want to leave.

I'm saying, no decision on any player across the AFL has been made. As much as anyone says otherwise.

Don't be that naive

 

[Shezzdog]

Adelaide should position itself to get a pick around 18-22 this year or next. Then flip to GC for Lukocious

A F1 (2034 points) based on this years position could land picks 13 (1212 points) and 22 (845 points).

Trade period hasnt started yet, there are endless possibilities...

Splitting picks. Clubs draft hands will continually change over the perod, including Adelaide's
Player trades. Potentially someone wants out.

Think its too early to focus on what picks we have at the present.

 

[Nicks_out_now]

Sure, that's why 75% of trades are done in the last 4 hours.

Just stalling for panic.

If you don't think the AFL stage manage the hell out of it then you really are naive.

The AFL love the click bait

Even though trades are agreed too they probably encourage clubs to lodge late as possible to generate more click bait for the AFL

We've had ppl give us Betts a year out from when it happened when no one was even talking about it. Rankine was 2yrs plus out. Some parts, at least, can get done well in advance. Not saying the whole thing is done tho. In this case have massive doubts that the trade is even close to being sorted.

Do they really need to though?

It makes a lot of sense for clubs to draw things out anyway to hold for a better deal or to apply pressure to other clubs etc.

Why would the AFL need to stage manage anything? If they were we wouldn't see a day without a trade happening.

And to even do it would require a lot of coordination and a lot of people not spilling their guts.

Debunked.

Of course they do, it's why more and more trades go down to and sometimes past the finish

 

[Nicks_out_now]

Please bump this post if a deal is done within the first hour of trade week.

Because if what's being said is true. Paper work submitted?

Yeah?

So it's a conspiracy?

I think 1 in 100 posters have inside information.

The rest is just talking out of their bottom.

Despite there being a more logical reason for this?
