Perhaps it could also be that he's been playing with the Sun's all those seasons? It's realistically only this one & last season that they've gotten more in form as a team. Look at Rankine, was already a good player as that damaging small forward but since moving to the crows he's even better and now more so as a part midfield player. He showed his 1st game with crows massive differences. Point is, the team and style helps too. So Lukosius may go even further with his potential at Port. He was moved around a lot this season because they wanted Jed as key forward and King where as King was usually playing a key defender prior.
If Georgiades continues his form and gets even better whilst having Lukosius there too and they both score 30+ goals then that's a boost for Port realistically. I'd assume Georgiades will get to 40 easily if not more next season if he plays every game and would expect Lukosius to do so as well. Finlayson could of but he had a shit season with accuracy... hence why Port kicked a crap tonne of points.
Hoping that if Lord gets set over pre season and actually develops into that big key forward we hope for plus with those 2 and ports other small forwards then they'll have a cracking season.

Same energy as the people on the main board who were telling us how silly we'd look if Ken wins the flag this year.
"If x then you're gonna look silly!" is an utterly pointless thing to say if x hasn't happened and may never happen.
Vaguely recall a state lotto ad campaign with a similar sentiment
6 years ago I would be over the moon us getting jack...now 
I'm cool with him coming... Hopefully he can stand up and be robin to Geo's batman.
I'm still hoping that pick 23 or whatever it is good enough. He has talent but will be will reach it?

What's his views on ****?
Donut's is a terrible coach6 years ago I would be over the moon us getting jack...now

However the one thing he is decent at is getting players across to the club who have not reached their potential, and a fair share of those players have reached it.
Hes a terrible coach but he also gets the best out of players
Yea I don't reckon donuts gets the best out of players at all he gets them to a level and they generally plateau from there or dip. Lukosius will probably have a spike initially then fold in with the rest of the kenbots as he realises it's taxing style of game with little reward.

Guess GC aren't going to barge on their demands for a future 1st rounder despite wanting his salary off their books huh?

I’m just gunna say this
If we are giving Houston AND a future first than I would want more than Luko, 13, 23 and Richard.
I look at that deal and think we are getting royally screwed

Not much harder.
Richmond finished 18th. If they'd won either or both of their games against us, they'd have finished 17th.
Adelaide finished 15th. If they'd won the second showdown, they'd still have finished 15th.
Melbourne finished 14th. If they'd won their second game against us, they'd have finished 11th.
St Kilda finished 12th. If they'd won one game against us, they'd have finished 11th. If they'd won both games against us, they would likely have finished 9th or 10th (it is possible that they'd have overtaken Collingwood on percentage, but unlikely that they'd have overtaken Carlton).
Fremantle finished 10th. If they'd won one game against us, they'd have finished 8th. If they won both games against us, they would likely have finished 6th (it is unlikely that they'd have overtaken Brisbane on percentage).
Carlton finished 8th. If they'd won their second game against us, they'd likely still have finished 8th (it is unlikely that they'd have overtaken Hawthorn or Footscray on percentage).
Taking these "what ifs" in combination becomes more difficult, because it moves multiple teams (including us, who could have tumbled all the way to 15th with a 7-16 record).
In isolation, there's very little change to the strength of our fixture measured by whatever brackets (top 8, 9-12, middle 6, bottom 6, bottom 4) you want to choose. We should also keep in mind that, for example, Carlton moves down in the universe where Fremantle moves up.

It really annoys me that we might trade our future first. It feels like 23 to 28 is about right for Luko. Tired of giving up first rounders to top up for players that are the final piece of Ken's puzzle.
