I'll stayHopefully if he does, then he's put enough credits in the bank for a nice trade bounty.
Assuming this is the correct figure, it's actually $2 million for the first two years as part of the existing contract, and $833k for the next three years, which given the increase in cap is equivalent to $600k per year currently.Interesting times
One minute, Luko apparently not worth anything as he has almost 2m owing
But
Next minute, Luko to cash in with 5 years at 900k
Before you reply let me guess, the media speculation on sentence 1 is correct but the speculation from the same media on the second isn’t
The deal looks inflated because of the GC contract yoke, which we will carry in exchange for discounted trade deal, ie a second rounder or f1st + a second, with your pick 12 coming back.

If only negotiations could be done on BF, we'd have it all sorted

It won't be to the team who offers a 2nd round pick to a player they are offering 5 years at 900k.
Port will let houston go, get back in the draft and have a f1 available. Once this happens do you think crows will still be offering a 2nd rounder? Or a swap of 1st rounders and a second? Boring, unrealistic trade, boring.

Lukosius will select where he wants to be traded not the Suns.
If he chooses Port who have less draft capital, that isn't a Crows problem...

He can pick which club he wants to be traded to, but if a deal can't be done then we don't need to make the deal
Thing is, do you think the club want to keep him ??
We wouldn't even be talking about it if they did

Indeed... & then you will lose a player you don't want to lose.

Who will we lose? We'll have 12 more months to re-assess, what's the worst that can happen? His value drops from a second rounder to a third rounder? Oh no! In the meantime if crows miss finals they sack their coach, if port miss the prelims they sack their coach, and we have another forward who's probably ahead of Walter and Read.

If 2 clubs didn't want him, i wouldn't expect much. We also told Rosas to look around and then changed our minds a week later. I'm not saying we want to back flip on luko, i believe we want him gone but it's not going to be a second rounder

Yep, his next 2 years @ $950K is significantly above his worth, which lowers his trade value.
Would make him the highest paid player if at the Crows & he wouldn't make our top 10 players.

That’s what has been speculated, it still could be Dimma cutting down Lukos ego.
So when it’s clear the SA clubs don’t value him by not being willing to meet the Suns price and he has to come back with his tail between his legs with a much improved attitude

HIlarious, it was literally Port's List Manager, Jason Cripps that made the comment in a press conference during the 2019 trade period about tracking Lukosius.
And Port's captain is literally chatting with hi every week.
And $2 million over the next two years isn't going to be a problem for either club. Because they won't be paying that. His contract will get smoothed out exactly like Jack Bowes did when he went to Geelong. The only reason that didn't happen with Bowes at Gold Coast was they'd already pushed out his payday on multiple occasions.
So he wasn't going to force them to hold his pay packet.
Rozee was always your target and Lukosius was ours so if we end up with both Rankine and Lukosius then who has been tracking them. Unless Lukosius decide to take a pay cut in the money owned to him in the next 2 years as GCS underpaid him in his first 2 years, I would expect he will get paid the $2M in the next 2 years and than offer another 2-3 years at $750K.
