Port can’t trade F1 as they haven’t used a first round pick last year or this year. Unless they trade one in this year of course but with Houston staying unlikely.

Doubt it will be a problem, AFL will let them have the same concession as Geelong. Remember they got JHF 2 years back who was only 1 year in and its all about teams not mortgaging their future on older player types
It's also not the first time he has meet with Port. He meet with them a few weeks ago as well
The reason Luko hasn't made a decision yet is because he still isn't sure if he wants to leave. He has the option to stay and fight his way back in the team. He is quite settled in the Gold Coast, and all things been equal, he would have stayed.
For accuracy, it was Lyons who approached the club after trade period and asked to be delisted.
I suspect, no such luck for Luko.
BTW, Luko can also retire and play golf. That's another equally unlikely possibility.

I'd like to be as sure of winning tattslotto as Luko playing for the Crows next year.
The dream of having Rankine and Luko has been strong since Day 1 all those years ago.
The Crows ol boy network see them as their property. The self esteem adrenaline rush will be too much to resist.
They will pay what is needed, which conveniently is not what would have been needed even a year ago. Salary isn't an issue. And Luko should play his best footy there, even though that best mightn't be quite what was hoped for in the past.

There's also no point him asking to be traded if on principle the clubs can't agree on his price, doesn't look good for either club, luko or his managment group. Or he wants to go to port.

Really? Do you have a source for this?
The AFL has already said they will let them trade it.
Bringing in a 19 year old JHF counts in the herbs and spices.

IMO, no doubt Luko will not ask for trade unless it can be done.

I'm not sure fans on the internet's opinions on trade worth is going to impact anything with actual real life events.
Adelaide and GC have good and fair history trading between each other, both teams have always come to the table and negotiated fairly. I doubt there will be too much bad blood at the trade table at all.

He has made the decision to leave the club.
The fact it hasn't been announced yet like other players requesting a trade is strange though.
Iva clearly behaving like a child.
He has not informed the club that he wants to leave yet.
That's not to say he won't leave, just that he isn't rushing to any decision, and I'm saying it would not surprise me if he stayed.
Put it this way, if he hadn't of got the Dimma treatment, he would have had no interest in leaving. This has been all GCs push.

The news that a Victorian club has offered Mac Andrews a 1.5 million a year, for 8 years should tell you why GC is looking to try and offload Luko and his contract. On top of that Rowell comes out at the end of next year and will also get shy of a million a year from a Victorian club to get him home. Then, add to that the 800k a year they need Rioli.
He's close to Port, and Kimbo is very close to Adelaide. Remember who broke the news about Rankine and Adelaide, it was Kimbo. Also, the way these guys work is that if Kimbo knows something, but doesn't want it public that he was the one who leaked it, he will tell Rucci to say it, giving the impression that Rucci heard it through his sources.
The amount of info the Adelaide click like Kimbo, Rowie etc have is crazy. Alot of it they don't share, because they want to protect the club, and their relationships. Remember when Rowie heard that Sando had been sacked, and got in his radio show for two hours saying there is something massive that has happened at the club but it wasn't his place to say it. Then, two hours later a Vic reporter "broke" the news, making Rowie look stupid.

I’d just offer the future 1st and be done with it. Would be a perfect replacement for Gunston.
Probably because Adelaide, like the other clubs, don't want to pay gold coast what they are asking.
There, fixed that for you... much better
