No future 1st for Luko given we have to pay his $2.5 million salary

He is a player being pushed out of the club

 

[manureid]

If we are paying his full salary because GC stupidly backended it, then we need to be paying a LOT less basically in pick capitol. If a future 1st goes out we need at least a 2nd back.

That won’t happen. Luko is worth more than a 12 pick downgrade. We’ve offered him a 6 year contract.

People thinking we can get a bargain here are delusional. He is worth our F1.

People are really overselling the "taking on his full salary" aspect. We are recruiting him for 6 years and will be smoothing out his contract, so we aren't taking a hit at all. He will probably end up being on 700-800k a year at a guess.
We aren't saving them by taking a terrible player and their full salary. We desperately want to recruit him and have for years since he was drafted.

People need to stop comparing him to Bowes, they are a completely different level of player and also Geelong weren't chasing Bowes for years. It was more Gold Coast were pushing him out and tested the market on who would be interested in taking him. The Luko situation is nothing like that. We will end up paying a future first and that is perfectly fine.

So long as Houston gets us two picks that add up to <30.

Higher than that.

Lol we're going to be paying Marshall and Lukosius close to $2 million a year combined, what a world.

Thank the gods we have a ball movement system that highlights the talents of these lead & mark forwards.

Hinkley’s ‘bomb it long to Charlie’ game plan (patented and practiced faithfully since 2016) is going to be extremely ugly with 3 leading forwards.

Haha, it'll be Esava.

Lead & mark forwards is just a nice way of saying can't take a contested mark. Which is fine if you're 188cm Bayley Fritsch but if you're verging on 200cm it's an insult.

 

[SureBuddy]

I can see a world where having Mitch, Todd and Luko as all space making leading forwards causing a lot of havoc. However I am sure we are all skeptical on it actually occurring under our current coaching regime.

Contested marks aren't all that. Example, both Toddrea and Luko averaged more than Jeremy Cameron this year.

 

[Powerade 08]

We will be playing a 4 tall forwardline because we need someone to ruck. Finlayson or Ratugolea

 

[afl2004]

He should of waited and asked to go to the lions on a much cheaper deal .

Worst club in the league to go to as a key forward

 

[JimmyBC]

Finlayson, Todd & Lukosius in the same side could be one of the worst forward lines you'll ever see if they parry up an off day all at the same time. Three space cadets wandering around without a mission.

Finlayson & Lukosius could be our wingman

Georgiades, Luko and Ratugolea. Marshall retired. Finlayson SANFL.

Georgiades, Luko and Ratugolea. Marshall retired. Finlayson SANFL.

If we go into next year with Ratugolea as a forward then we're screwed.
