Thats the thing though... we won't be offered an extra future first on top of a first this year. It'll be instead of. With the pressure that, you need this future first to get Lukosius.
Getting approval to use our future first on Luko and getting that trade done separately, allows us to sit the Houston trade negotiations without the Luko trade being used as a lever against us.
Port did NOT have the easiest draw this season just because AFL decided to posy some dribble post after H&A to make it appear that way and to push their narrative(s). The entire season through out, Port have had one of the hardest fixtures and it was mentioned time and again. Hawks had an easier draw and lost majority of games against top 10 only mainly winning against the double up easier teams. Or teams with mass injuries etc..Why is everyone not shit scared of trading our F1 away?
Ended up having the easiest draw this year.
A lot of teams below us have heaps of improvement in them (Freo, GC, Collingwood didnt have a fwd line this year, heck can even see Melb with Petracca). Every chance we dont even make the 8 and hand over a top 10 pick for Luko and pick 23 that likely blows out to >25.
What narrative are you talking about? We only played one eventual finalist twice - Carlton, with 4 of our double ups finishing between 12th and 18th. Fixtures don't get much easier than that.Port did NOT have the easiest draw this season just because AFL decided to posy some dribble post after H&A to make it appear that way and to push their narrative(s).

Yes other teams have been and will be improving but guess what? So will Port. They won't decline. Freo young list but so is Port and they beat them twice. Port beat Hawks with a younger list in finals too.
If Port do a deal that trades their future 1st to GC then I'd assume there's a deal later involving a future 1st back to Port. My assumption is North trade out their pick 2 to Fremantle for picks 10 & 11 so Freo can deal with Bolton then North hand over pick 11 & future 1st for Houston. That's the deal Port should take. Not these other stupid ones from Pies & Blues.
They finished there because we beat them. Lose those games and our draw gets much harder.What narrative are you talking about? We only played one eventual finalist twice - Carlton, with 4 of our double ups finishing between 12th and 18th. Fixtures don't get much easier than that.
People really under selling luko here.

Not sure what Luko’s contract agreement is yet, but I’ll say it’ll be a multiple year deal.Hey Lukosius fluffer, what’s he ever done that warrants millions? If you really think your mate Stinkley can get more out of this turkey than Hardwick then you really have drunk Stinkleys Pepsi.
And at least Sturt have a decent coach. You wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for new fans.
I really, really hope he does.if luko comes top 10 in the Coleman next season
The majority of people in here are gonna look like clowns.
Yeah lets hopeI'm just hoping he matches Georgiades' output from this season.
Na, would've preferred he Picked them the opinion doesn't/shouldn't change because of him coming to us.Those people would still be whining had he picked the Crows.
Kinda reminds me of the naysayers when we traded in BTZ and played J Sweet as our No.1 ruck.if luko comes top 10 in the Coleman next season
The majority of people in here are gonna look like clowns.
I will be honest in saying some of the optimism is from his draft yearI really, really hope he does.
How much of your optimism in him is based on the Under 18 form and hype and how much on what he has shown and achieved in his 6 years in the system?
What are the traits that you’re most excited about and are there any that have you doubting him?
You can scratch elite set shot. Every player, established or rookie, seems to regress in set shot accuracy when they arrive at Port, with the exception of Jay Schulz.I will be honest in saying some of the optimism is from his draft year
however he has ovbious traits such as a great inside 50 kick and decision making, a elite set shot, good leading patterns. Someone said yesterday if luko got the same shots as finlayson did in 2023 he would be kicking 50 a year which i do agree with.
The only doubt i have, he can be a little bit soft and doesn't take pack marks, and as we know we bomb it long to our key forwards. lets hope we have a new forward structure, with leading and better inside 50 kicks to the advantage of our forwards on a lead. If this happens i see him kicking 45+ goals next year
I think he will fit in well alongside MG,Marshall/Lord, Rioli,DBJ,SPP,Barett and Richards in a mobile forward line
No current season stats available
Impressive given they have about 30min of actual content that just gets repeated through a different lens each time they change shiftIs Trade Radio still 60% adverts?

Pick 23 is a 1st round draft pick so if we trade our future 1st and get 23 with Luko then we don't have to ask the AFL about trading the future 1st rounder
Why do people keep saying this? It is absolutely not true.Pick 23 is a 1st round draft pick so if we trade our future 1st and get 23 with Luko then we don't have to ask the AFL about trading the future 1st rounder
Pick 23 is one of the end of first round picks that was given to north last year as part of its assistance package. They traded it to Gold Coast for pick 18. It’s definitely a first rounder.Why do people keep saying this? It is absolutely not true.
