I think he takes over Texs place. Luko has great cardio for his size, runs all day, presents all day, and has elite delivery by foot. That's a skillet that no other forward we have, has.

Fogarty.
Yep
I think if Luko is to fill a forward role it's that half forward who runs up and back linking up.
He absolutely has a role to play with us and will make us a better side, but if we pay a F1, we need to be getting something pretty handy back as well as the player.
Yeah I think this is where it lays, his form has gone through the roof since signing and the cap has gone up.
So he can get a lot more and port have seen an opportunity to get a low draft pick. Win win for both parties.

The trade whisperer...aka ricky nixon
Houston signed on long term for unders and then has been a dual AA. He knows that he can get more coin by moving. Just speculating but he probably would like to stay with a pay rise.
If I was him I probably wouldn’t be too stoked that Port are happy to pay more to Perryman, and rumoured that Esava and even Soldo are on more than Houston.
Surely Port will be all over Luko? Their forward line is a shambles. Dixon is finished, Marshall is average and might not play again anyway due to concussion, Lord is going backwards quickly, Georgiades is the only real key forward they've got. Luko is a nice to have for us, but much more like a need for them.

Yeah it's clearly a disaster they're going to have to address. They have to up their offer for Jack. It will cost them their first round pick though.

I reckon if you look at the last 20 years of pick 4 history Luko would sit in the middle rankings even now, not taking into account any improvement.
Draft picks are a gamble that don't always pay off. We might draft the next Bont, or the next Tambling.
I'd be fine with a future first. Pick 10 is fine. Single digits and would love something back. Personally I think our pick will be in the 8 to 12 range next season

He's probably middle to lower of the pack at his draft position (pick 2)
I'd have Ash and McDonald above Lukosius right now.
Pretty sure they don't have a first round pick this year, and not sure if they're allowed to trade next year's? They used their 2022 + 23 first rounders in the JHF trade, then this year's first round as part of the trade to get Ratugolea and Zerk-Thatcher last year. The AFL let that through because that previous first had been traded for JHF who was only 1 year in the system so basically a draftee anyway. Not sure if they'll be allowed to trade next year's too, though?
If they end up trading Houston then that could give them some capital to work with for Luko (or whoever else they're into). If Luko does end up going for just a 2nd round pick then it might as well be ours and we should be up to our eyeballs in that. If Port are giving up a first rounder then they're welcome to him.
They could do a Collingwood and backload the crap out of a few contracts and hope to snag a flag before they catch the can.
He's worth to them what they can extract for him. We can send in a hard edge negotiator like Reid, but they'll know exactly how desperate we are. And Luko himself isn't going to let himself be subject to a bidding war centering around how late a second round pick he's worth. This year's first will be off the table as the value is fixed and the trade result known immediately. Unless their F1 comes back to us. I think our LM group buckle and our F1 goes and if it ends up being pick 4 and a disaster trade, it's irrelevant to LM committee because 3/4 of the heavy hitters won't be at the club in 2026 anyway.
