Rumour Jack Luk-no-sius

[skam85]

Have at it.

Luko wanting to come home is exactly why you don't burn bridges on the trade table with other clubs.

We will look back and be thankful our Lyons, Wigg, Rankine, Burgess trades ran smoothly with the Suns.

How could you leave out the Rat, Rory Atkins,
They came in and stole him from right under our nose

You would like to think that we still left some loose change up at GCS when we did the Rankine trade

 

[DJ75]

Personally I don't see the need.
He's a decent player, but no superstar.

My question is - what position does he play that substantially improves us? Is he a half forward that we use as the connector?

It could make us a bit top heavy up forward, especially if Tex plays on. I can't see how we play Luko, Tex, Fog, Thilthorpe and probably Curtin in the same forward line.
Can he play wing?

You're talking about a 2025 problem that may only exist for a handful of games or more.

2026 we will need a third forward.

Will we?
Thilthorpe, Fog, Curtin, Welsh.

I don't see Curtin playing full time mid for a while - if ever. I can see him playing a role where he plays 60% forward and 40% mid.

I'm not against Lukosious, but I don't think he's a critical need.

Would make a perfect wing but could fit in and fill in allover the ground. Highly skilled player. Has a great kick and also a goal kicker. Versatile quality player. We'd be dumb as a box of hammers for us not to go hard for him.

 

[Ian Dunross]

It's a no brainer, he can play as a wingman or replace Tex or half back

A week is a long time in footy (especially after you’re plonked at full forward for the last quarter after an injury)

Need doesn’t factor into our thinking.

So few want to come here, we don’t turn our nose up at any homegrown best 22 player.

 

[FR0GGY]

So what’s the rumor?

 

[skam85]

He's a quality footballer, we need class and he will provide that

 

[Taylor]

I think you'll play him as the link in transition player and he will make a forward who can barely run look like a gun as the footy lands on his chest.

I'm hoping Tex retires if we get Luko.
We will go from midget city to Land of the Giants

They will probably refuse to give us Luko unless we take Ratkins as well.

 

[imagifED]

Hope we bring him in. Having potentially the most potent forward line by quite a distance could be a POD play.

Thilthorpe (2)
Lukosius (2)
Fogarty (12)
Rankine (3)
Rachele (6)
Pedlar (11)
Keays (24)

with Dawson, Curtin, etc rolling through

 

[maxlilly]

Ratkins couldn't sign that 5 year deal quick enough when GC put that on the table.
We will have to tell them, we don't have the cap for both of them

 

[BRL121]

We can rectify that by adding Caleb Daniel as well. (He can replace Murphy.)

 

[crows dude]

Atkins VFL form is very good. Much like Lyons could win the VFl medal this year.

 

[maxlilly]

I just hope if he comes to Adelaide he doesn't end up as Jack Latrocious

 

[skittlebrew]

So what’s the rumor?

The real question is what's the cost...?

 

[Rix31]

Not sure how hard at it Bailey Fritsch goes at Melbourne but I could see him being a similar player. Definitely have to do it but at the right price of course.

If you could get him stronger through upper body I reckon his confidence in the contest would go up.

Need to give him half a season to get Thilthorped.

 

[Jarman3]

OK, but they have to take Burgess back.

 

[Afcprophet]

Wonder when he'll publicly request a trade, at the end of rd 24? I have a feeling he will stay on the gold coast.
