Rumour Jack Luk-no-sius

[Soggy2112]

I feel in Ports team and there midfield he will be a very good addition, they don’t need him to be a saviour, he’s icing.

Whereas as after years of neglect our priority is midfield.

But it’s out of our hands, no recruit is choosing us over Port given where we are at. Yes Dawson and Rankine did, but they thought we were on the way up, clearly we are just shit and the shitshow of this week would have turned off recruits and managers, there is no doubt.

Plus we have Nicks and the beauty is after he went up there he couldn’t get the deal done.

But just as anyone when a Port complex, when he chooses Port he will be a shit player, had he chosen us he’d be good.

Let’s just hope they have to overpay and don’t get a bargain.

Money always talks though.

I don’t think we should be giving Jack a Godfather offer but we might.

Did they? We only looked like things were legitimately on the up in 2023 when both were already here.

So... move home to play for a premiership contender with a bunch of your good mates, or move home to play for a club that is allergic to its youth and perenially is out of the finals.



Must be a hard choice.

 

[CrowHop]

We saw it differently then .....another PS & in the weights room, you'll see an even better T.Murray

It's about seeing the traits ....i'm not worried about mistakes in his 1st year

Agreed. Toby is a work in progress but he has great potential with a solid pre season

Luko had a Murphy-like 7 disposals today

Tanking or just not v good?

$1m per season for next 2 years...

Port may not be able to afford him unless they push people out

The attitude in this thread is similar to what you all were saying about Brodie Grundy

... Not a need, too expensive, not a great player yet both of these players smashed us when we played them.

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Do players ever come out and request trades in the bye week if both sides are out of finals?

But we’re shit

All the more reason to add talent where we can. Murphy is a regular player for us. At least we know luko can easily bag 4 or 5 any given day.

I don’t really disagree.

Just that smashing us perhaps doesnt equal good player.

Well many would argue that Jenkins wasnt a good player because of the goose goals ... But what we all would give to have one of our forwards kick 62 goals this year...

It was the same arguments with josh, too many goose goals, too expensive etc etc.

If we land Draper or lalor and add luko, it would be a good off season. Hopefully we can retire some oldies too.

I'm coming to the conclusion that to get to the top it might take another 4 or 5 years even if we make great moves now.
By that time Dawson will be on his last legs.

So it might take our pick 4 this year, Lukosius, next years first pick, and the year after that to really have the talent level necessary to get there.

We need some big midfielder signing eg ldu
Or find something in the free agency market. Ie small fwd so Rankine can be full time mid. Or maybe actually develope one of our kids.

 

[King Elvis]

Would be a huge get for Port.

Luko is cream.

We are not ready for cream. Port are.

 

[baldandbroke]

Does Jack want to play in finals or just coast through an easy contract during a re-re-build?

I guess we will see …

Hang in there people, 2027 will be our year! 30 year anniversary.

Strong 4th post in 5 years. Very strong.



Go Crows.

I reckon it would be tough to get a big name to our club without giving up overs right now.

Development is our pathway- Taylor, Soligo, Edwards, Dowling, Curtin should form the young mid group with Crouch as the leader + Keays, Dawson, Rankine and Rachele all moving through on occasion.


I just can't see Luko coming here for peanuts and other clubs will offer so much more. Port might be happy to give up pick 15-18 to get that premiership.

 

[Redline]

Would be a huge get for Port.

I am not convinced he will come to us but he won't go to Port. Any picks they can get they want to take to the draft.

Maybe in 12 months they may be more willing to trade for him.

I'd give my left rat's tossbag for that to happen.

You mean dual AA, dual B&F winning ruckman Brodie Grundy?

It's not really apples and apples there is it.

At the end of the day, my comfort all comes down to cost. ROI. If we carry the contract, I would only be comfortable with minimal draft capital leaving. If they carry some contract, then given his age and where he was drafted the Grundy deal looks a decent parallel (F2).

But let's not pretend he's done anything close to producing at the level Grundy had.

 

[Two Eight]

Just feel that will be the time frame we need to get our good young players match hardened and our has-beens will be gone (including some of the coaches and board members). Hopefully something like what Richmond did from 2017. I can see it coinciding with our new home base and the buzz that will bring. 1997, 2007, 2017……..2027? It has got to happen! The time has come, build over the next two years and then smash it.
