and thinking Lukosius is worth a pick in the late 20s…

Didn't happen.

 

[Mostyn]

He is a life long Crows fan. His family are as well.
His family is in Adelaide.
Hs good mate Izak did the same thing and will be in his ear.
Adelaide has kept in touch with him since he was drafted and has tried to get him before.
But sure, he's going to North or Geelong.

Cameron has nothing to do with this, as he was a country guy who wouldn't be going home regardless of where he moved to.

He also bought a $1.3m beachside house in Adelaide.

For all these properties he'd want to start playing like he wants it.

This is what Gold Coast stuffed up as well. Rankine and Lukosius to the same school.

But it's Rozee and Luko that were good mates. If they wanted to draft the South Aussies to stick together it was Rozee and Lukosius they needed to take.

But it was Rankine that was the higher rated one.

Boyd Woodcock was actually Luko's best mate..still is.

 

[Jugada]

Always amuses me how people think players make career decisions based on who they were mates with as a 15yo and how some guy they went to school with 10 years ago is whispering sweet nothings in their ear to come back and be best mates again. These are grown ass adults capable of making new friends

 

[Pure_Ownage]

That's not going to work for the Crows.

Perhaps 4 and F2 for 6 and Luko?

That's probably the only way 4 can be involved.

Or perhaps F1 for Luko and 20?

Now they've made clear they consider him VFL level talent and that he's not in Hardwick's future plans, they've tanked his value.

Hes not vfl talent they are giving him a rocket.

 

[Jen2310]

Dimma spoke about him in the presser.
Jack wanted to play vfl, but Dimma was like.. lets just take a breather and reset. He spoke well about it, and was very strong on his future. He just is finding how to best utilise his talents.

Good players go through rough patches, this is just Jack's. He'll keep improving his game and will be back in the team.

Have it on very good authority that Rankine and Lukosius never really got along in school due to certain things, whether that's changed I don't know.

Can confirm, Lukosius is a dibber dobber cindy

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Apparently Blues interested but don't know how or why we'd get a deal done for him.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

We see him as a third tall / link up player

Suns want a top 20 pick. He is on $700k

Lot to play out. He has to choose us

I wouldn't be paying that much for him but fair enough

 

[SSSSSS]

He has a load of talent but I've had shits after a dodgy kebab that are harder than him.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Which they used for what? Thompson wasn't their priority. That left Adelaide as the only club that could get the deal done.

? They took it to the draft, they could of traded

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

I am at a bit of a loss with this one.

Jack is a mediocre forward at AFL level. He's not quick enough or big enough, he doesn't work anywhere near hard enough, and despite his major asset being his disposal, he is a very poor kick for goal.

Put him at half back or on a wing and you've got someone with an absolute weapon. A genuinely transformative player; arguably the best field kick in the game.

It's a major asset and it's going to waste.

If they're not playing him in the back half then they should move him on, but he can no longer be valued as the prodigious kid he once was. He's a 24 year old who now 6 years into his career, has achieved very little.

Of course, he's still contracted so the Suns will dictate the price, but if they do want him out it's a tricky situation. I'll be stunned if there's a first round pick in any exchange unless there's more coming back the other way alongside Jack.

Needs to play as a high forward/ marking wingman role and use his skills kicking inside 50 imo

Probably needs to work a bit harder to get the best out of that role though

 

[My Tilly]

Would love him at the hawks and wouldn't bulk at a first. Think I rate him higher than most.

I am the same. Rate him.
Needs a new environment. Hawthorn be a great fit as that roaming high forward similarly to how Jeremy Cameron is playing at Geelong.

In fact, would love him at the Cats.

 

[Mastiha]

He seems lost at the moment at GC - a change of environment could release the talent he has as he should be exceptional

Pretty long rough patch...

 

[Cleric]

Exactly. They never offered the pick nor entertained trading for Scott. Adelaide was the only one interested.
If Adelaide show no interest in Jack, then yeah, he may end up somewhere else. But, if the club wants him, offers the same money as everyone else, he goes to Adelaide.

you're putting the cart before the horse here

 

[Crow till I die]

IF Jack wants out and to the crows, is a 3 way trade in the offing?

Crows
In: J Lukosius
Out: F1

Suns
In Rioli
Out Lukosius

Richmond
In Crows F1
Out: Rioli

 

[Cleric]

Not really. The statement that if all things are equal, a player would prefer to play for the team them and their family barracked for isnt a crazy thing.
Did you think Izak was ever going to come back to SA to play for Power if the Crows were offering exactly what they were?
Do you think we are going to have an easier time keeping Thilthorpe as an SA born and bred Crows lover, or a harder time?

 

[kreglze]

Will be interesting, if Nick's is flying up to talk to him they must have a concrete interest in taking him. I wonder what the offer is, especially cause he is contracted for 2 more years.

 

[Obeanie1]

North a huge show here id reckon.

Shuffle of picks to allow GCS to get a pick in before Lombard whilst North still get Trainor with their first pick

Suns take Draper at 2.

Trainer at 6 for North plus extras.

Happy days.

 

[Obeanie1]

I think the Deal might be like 27 and F2 for Lukosius, F4 & 73.

So two picks that slide into the 30's?

That is Jack Watts level crash in value there.
