Traded Jack Lukosius - Joins Port Adelaide as part of a 3-way trade with Collingwood and Gold Coast

[Bring back Bas]

Surprised if the crows would have him as much of a priority given their forwards are probably their strongest part of the field.

Can they really play all of Thilthorpe, Lukosius, Fog and Walsh all in the one side?

Think he’d fit in well next to Georgi as Dixon is on the way out but then we don’t have much capital to play with (depending what happens with Houston).

I think Port Power need more of a Charlie Dixon type than Lukosius. Georgi is good when he can run and jump at the ball. Lukosius is quite similar to Marshall. None of those 3 are the type you can bomb it on their head though.

I actually think Lukosius would fit well into Adelaide's forward line if he could play as a true CHF delivering the ball inside 50, the way Walker played up until the last few years. Thilthorpe and Fogarty are better suited to playing deep. Welsh would complicate things if he came on but that is a long way from being a sure thing. I think Lukosius compliments Adelaide's forward line better than Welsh, who looks to play very similar to Fogarty.

Why do you think it would stiff Gold Coast? The general consensus from crows fans is that it’s a second rounder at best, half think that they should be getting a pick to take him off their hands.

What can you offer? I just can't see where you're getting picks from - and i can't see you using what you get from Houston.

Even if both sides put a F2 on the table, the Crows would be about 22 and Port's would be in the 30s.

I may be going against the grain here but I would happily offer a future first with something else coming back, even if it’s a pick this year seeing they are flush. Especially if we get an extra one as part of the Houston trade.

I rate the skill level that he would bring to our side highly. The last kick into 50 and accuracy at goal are our biggest weaknesses by far.

 

[ABAB]

100% going to the Power if he returns to SA

ITK or just guessing like you did with Rankine?

 

[Iva Bigun]

Not many of those under Dimma though.

Yeah, only 20 games in his first year

Port will be looking more at Lord, Scully and Visintini to replace Dixon.

Marshall's future looks dubious with his concussion history unfortunately.

I think he has a fondness for the Power, though that would stiff you guys?

If he asks for a trade we are bound by the AFL to trade in good faith, if he picks the Power to be with his best mate Rozee terms would need to be reached

Personally I doubt he will go, it’s all speculation at this stage, comments about back ended contracts, cap restrictions, fallouts with the coach etc are fan driven to suit a certain narrative and quite likely fiction

 

[FR0GGY]

Yeah, only 20 games in his first year

Quote that then, his history with other coaches isn’t really relevant to now though.

It’s 20 games THIS YEAR, Dimma’s first

 

[FR0GGY]

Yes and he’s dropped him.
Has he been dropped by any other coach?

 

[Obeanie1]

Okay. But what are these extras?

If we keep Pick 2 it will likely be used on Draper (if Richmond take O'Sullivan). I'd be happy for us to drop back if we could get two of Trainor, Armstrong and Berry.

Suns have alot of extras it can add.

Picks. This year or next.

Players.

They are never short of extras to add to a deal.

Which is it?

 

[Redline]

For a whole lot of reasons I am almost certain he will leave the Suns, not convinced it will be too the Crows.

He would be a good fit but it depends what the Suns ask for and there will be plenty of other interest.

Don't be surprised if Lukosisius get involved with the Houston deal

I guess that works - getting and using a first this year means you could trade next year's

Was thinking this if we got involved with the Smith to GC trade.

GC - lose pick 11. Lukosius. Gain Smith
Dogs - lose Smith. Gain Houston
Port - lose Houston. Gain pick 11 and Luko.

Probably need another second or swap of seconds/thirds for the dogs in there somewhere. But with their tall forwards, having Houston and Dale picking them off must be appealing.

 

[Mostyn]

No, I'm planning to be surprised

 

[Mini GF]

Contracted
On a Large Salary
The Snowtown Media is making out he’s a star.
The Port and AFC fans are frothing over him labelling him a gun.

You will have to pay overs that’s if he wants to leave the beautiful little city at all.
We accept we have to pay overs for Rioli as he’s contracted. It’s called maturity.

Stop the nonsense.

Can confirm that Greek God of flakiness, Lukosisius will be involved in the Houston deal.

Is Lukosius a baklava?

 

[SLOWNE]

Crows fans getting excited about the idea of getting pick 10 + a former number 1 pick for a F2, just cos Crows.

The damn hypocrisy from a Cats flair is astonishing.

 

[Cleric]

He is a Crows tragic.

 

[Cleric]

I think where luko ends up will be dependant upon the status of Todd Marshall

No, where he ends up is dependent on where he wants to go. Todd Marshall has nothing to do with it.

GC isnt bound to do anything when he is in contract.

I think if west coast trade, do it with Gold Coast
as 2,2025r3 for 5,12,2025r2.
Both West Coast and GWS could have done better in 2022 megatrade, don't get ripped off again.
