Speculation Jack Lukosius [RFA 2026, linked to Port Adelaide]

No chance Rachelle signed a long term deal that doesn’t pay him significant amounts in its later years. His wage will increase every year until he is one of the highest few paid players on your team.

He won't be on anything close to Laird even on later years, more than likely 7 years at $650K which is still a lot of money for a 19-20 years old.

 

[Buget]

Yep, great fit for Port and think he'll do very well there.

If Marshall and Dixon do both indeed retire, do you think Port will look internal or external for that second replacement? Or look to a smaller forward line?

Still have Lord, so I can see them playing 3 talls still, along with MG. Lord had a shocking injury at the wrong time of preseason, which probably threw his whole season

They do. In this case the main thing that changed was the senior coach.

I don't think it's "Lukosius doesn't want to live on the Gold Coast". I think it's "Lukosius and Hardwick don't see eye to eye".

Perhaps. Might be wanting to get some draft capital as well. I know he was considering coming back to SA before dimma though.

That’s very naive of you to think that by 2029 rachele will only be on 650k.

Will only be 25-26 and will earn the big bucks then.

He would be on that now with increases built in.

$650K isn't big bucks, it isn't 7 years at $800K like Lukosius (a few years too much).
