Too soft and entitled

He'd be a coup. Will have a good career.

Old manic would have to harden him up a bit at first

He certainly has the skills.
Unless he's another Stevo, the other stuff can be worked on.

I watched the presser and he said that he's had multiple chats with Keane and he's confident he wants to be there. I think Nicks would be quite disappointed if he left in contract

That’s PR speak. Of course he’d be disappointed. But what he actually said is a far cry from what you initially claimed he said.

yeah possibly I was reading between the lines, All interpretation
Time will tell. If he stays or leaves. But yeah its likely PR talk.
Hopefully he stays for their sake.

He knocked us back before. Let him rot at Richmond

I thought we had a “no tosser” policy too!

Have to be careful this time of year when journos roll out the "I think" etc!

I love what this guy could be, his potential is huge, get him to spend some time with Bruzzie and see if he can teach him the ways of the Bruz.

One of the best kicks of the footy in the game also

At 24 we've seen what he can be, a highly skilled totally non physical tall who plays like Justin Westhoff. .

And judging by the most accurate shots for goal our best is Lippa at a very ordinary 55% ish. He would help there

I wish you were wrong but yep most likely!

Yeah Jay Clark does it alot, he's obviously a Pies supporter.

 

[JuniorB]

I noticed that passing comment.
Just get him!

 

[Scodog10]

The article I linked notes he is on $650K per year.
"Lukosius is in the second year of a four-year deal worth at least $650,000 a season."
Unless it is indexed or back ended that isn't a lot.
Cal Twomey said it would take offers close to $1M to get him to leave GCS. Not that he was on $1M.

That’s “at least” which isn’t exactly rock solid numbers, but neither are the ones it seems I’ve made up. Based on GC’s list structure back ending could go either way the indexing though would be the kicker which I think is a given and would have him at $850k.

Reading the lay of the land it’s a Tom Mitchell salary dump rather than a Jack Bowes one to keep room for Andrew who’s receiving godfather offers right now. It’s buyer beware if you ask me and if it were my nuts on the line I’m not involving a 1st Rd pick on a guy who’s less of a KPF than all of our forwards except Hill and McReery. By that I mean all of McStay, Mihocek, WHE, Elliott, Cox and Schultz play the role of a KPF target better than Lukocious because he lacks competitiveness.

Geelong I think but he has to have a cold shower whenever Pendles name comes up.

No, he's not.

A few thoughts / activities to help through the off season:

Oct - manage grief of no finals by watching endless replays of 2023 finals. Put off mowing lawn. Become seduced by footy rumours

Nov - mow lawn, watch Melbourne Cup. Watch draft night. Check fixture for AFL sanctioned rorts against Pies

Dec - prepare for in-law invasions. Invent creative new salad to go with turkey. Watch Sydney to Hobart, Boxing Day test etc

Jan - more cricket. Sleep during the day if not watching cricket. Go back to office when no-one else is. Watch some tennis.

Feb - entertain thoughts of footy starting again. Book holiday when schools are back. Go to Morwell to watch pre-season game. Stay overnight and spend a day in the Supreme Court at poisonous mushroom trial.

Mar - watch other suckers play in Round Zero . Steel self and family for another season of footy and BigFooty.

I don't think he's soft. That one that Cornes carried on about was just being too attacking and trying to take the ball on the turn to eat clear for a shot on goal. He just misjudged it with his opponent getting there fractionally too early for it to work.

Nick has the odd moment like that.

I was going to leave out the gangster slaps until the very end

Ok.

But on Tom Mitchell it was part salary dump but moving him on was more to do with creating AFL playing space for young guys. JOM and Mitchell out, so that Day and Newcombe could play more midfield time.

I have no idea if he's soft to be honest. I just want to harden him up for the sake of it

I walked right into that one. Is it a real career?, asking for a friend
