’ contract will likely impact trade negotiations with Port Adelaide as the former No.2 pick looks to land at Alberton.

With the season over attention now turns to the free agency and trade period, with both South Australian clubs set to be busy again.

What the Power ends up stumping up for Lukosius could depend on the Suns’ desire to take on some of his money.

The swingman was contracted for two more years at the Suns, on a heavily back-ended contract believed to be around $1 million per year.

The Power will give the 24-year-old a six-year contact after he chose Port Adelaide to play with captain and good friend Connor Rozee

Gold Coast wants a first-round pick, while the Power is considered likely to prefer to part with a second selection for Lukosius.

But if the Suns take on some of Lukosius’ contract, then the pick they could receive for the Woodville-West Torrens product could improve.

Cap space is much more important for them to keep players they want especially the Mac Daddy Andrew who they want to give Powerball to.

We just need to wait for the Richmond/Rioli deal to be signed off then offer the second rounder. If GC's celery cap is as stretched as some think they will then be in a situation where they have to make the deal work with Port.

Hey Jack, get ready for some high balls booted inside the 50!!!

 

[blackdiamond]

Lol my bad.

Same, same.

Just stalked the Crom board about Luko all they are doing is potting us and turning on each other LOL. About the first time I've been there and not come out with some type of ban

 

[Port 2004]

Not with Josh Carr as senior coach.

 

[Port 2004]

Just come out of work and haven't found any report that says Luko has nominated Port, just that he's nominated to come back to SA.

Edit above: OK ... just heard Rozee talking and confirming it.

cRowie was confident the other day Luko was leaning towards choosing the crows lol

Of course he was. Just like Polec. Dickhead.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Hence, that was what I had reaffirmed last evening at an event I attended by a member of the fairer sex.

Women say shit gon happen, shit gon happen.

A little tied of this us against them mentality tbh.

Wasn’t it the Adelaide media pre coming saying he was going to the Crows?

Perhaps the customers should media shakes heads instead of shooting Port & Luko.

I wonder how Lindy is feeling right now?

 

[WillemDaDrew]

GC's celery cap

 

[Waspy79]

Like Rankine blossomed when returning home to his beloved Crom, Luko will flourish being under the warm wings of Rozee, Hinkley and The Chad.

 

[snozulu]

Luko’s dad now drives an MG confirmed

He kicked 8 goals on debut

 

[Waspy79]

Additionally, imagine if we also had an internationally-renowned coach of multiple tennis champions who rather than letting him utilise his strengths and work with the coaches, was instead shunned by small-minded, paranoid people and marginalised to a point where he felt like he had nothing to offer and walked away.

Imagine.

Was unaware of this but it hardly surprises.

 

[Waspy79]

Other teams have good players too you know.

And possibly more importantly, better coaches

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

So they cannot afford 1M per year for 2 years? What can they afford that we don't have to pay?

 

[Papa G]

Big Macho Man Randy Chadbro getting a bit gatekeepery there.

A confident man would invite Tredrea in, tell him the plan, and then ask his advice. Doesn't mean he needs to take it but get the man in and get him onside.

 

[Waspy79]

So they cannot afford 1M per year for 2 years? What can they afford that we don't have to pay?

As others have said, Port offer 6 years and can spread the 2m across that plus the rest. I doubt the suns will be left paying any of his salary and that is ok so long as we don’t get fleeced in draft capital.

Randy Savage had access to the best coke that has ever been produced in the history of all the world.

We get to do burnouts at Gillman? Hell yeah!

That's it. Squeeze them dry.

Having bad contracts is bad business.

The last two years of Luko could hamstring them and limit their options.

I wonder how Brodie Grundy turning down guaranteed premierships at Hinkley's Port Adelaide to live his work/life balance at those lazy Swans is going for him. Poorly I assume.

 

[PAFC66]

Not with Josh Carr as senior coach.

We need Chad out as well. Isn't he forwards coach or has he gone down back again?

 

[PAFC66]

Kenny gets another great pickup

Yeah has his finger prints all over it, what a man. Be crazy to get rid of our unique selling point.

The one thing I think is silly is fans commenting on speculated salaries.

Like... Who cares? Have we ever missed out on anyone due to not having enough salary cap? We have no idea how much wiggle room we have and we've literally never had an issue with the salary cap in the past, so I don't see what any player's salary should matter. We're not Gold Coast.

Length of contracts, sure - they can become an issue with list management, but we shouldn't get in a tizzy about how much they're getting paid.

Edit: Reading back, seems like a random post by me, but was just seeing a lot of posts about Lukosius' current and potential salaries.
