I thought Luko played well last year in 2nd half.
If that is true he's even a bigger sook than l thought.He’s missing dew was my initial thought
A lot of players had a good relationship with Dew like it or not.If that is true he's even a bigger sook than l thought.

A lot of players didnt
We are now down one pacey skilful goalkicking winger who's playing for Freo contending for a premiership and a big bodied mid recruit of the year at Carlton because of that
His very special relationship walked to Adelaide
If Lukosius doesnt like Dimma it's not because Dimma doesnt like him
Hardwick is past caring about players' feelings if it gets in the way of the club's success
Clohesy every day of the week over both Hollands and Sharp IMO.You do realise that Hollands was let go by Dimma, NO? Still a good decision in my books. Some Blues fans are already critical of him (selfish, not working hard). For sure he has a talent but still seems a full of himself head case.
Sharp was lazy and did not work hard at Suns by his own admission. Sometimes the last chance makes wonders as well as staying home. I enjoy watching him running hard on wing for Freo. Still I like Clohesy more, haha.
Yeah, what a pick up. I can't wait to see what he can do with several preseasons under his belt. He did have flat patch but he was bloody awesome against Essendon.Clohesy every day of the week over both Hollands and Sharp IMO.
Already one of my favourites.
Runs hard both ways, beautiful kick, can find the ball, strong mark, sticks tackles, stands up for his teammates.

Hollands was under contract so we could keep him. No report Dimma wanted to keep him.Did Hardwick release him?
It was my understanding he tried to get him to stay along with Sharp
Who knows?
If Dimma was coaching 2 years ago we might be lining up with Rankine Hollands and Sharp across the midfield
Luko might be doing a wine tasting course in the Adelaide Hills instead and we would be just about over him as opposed to never getting over losing Izak
I'm with you 100% on this one. Truly a generational player that we let gonever getting over losing Izak
When a player requests a trade there's not much point fighting it.He had no trade value because he was playing like a nuffy in the VFL to stick it up Dew and had the drug conviction.My mail was Dimma would have preferred him to stay.Davies may end up being better thoughHollands was under contract so we could keep him. No report Dimma wanted to keep him.
Hollands had s**t attitude. We can't keep them all due to cap. I feel we follow GWS closely by letting some players go (it was actually mentioned a couple of years ago by Cameron) I suspect Luko is next especially now with Mac progressing to 1M.When a player requests a trade there's not much point fighting it.He had no trade value because he was playing like a nuffy in the VFL to stick it up Dew and had the drug conviction.My mail was Dimma would have preferred him to stay.Davies may end up being better though

I mean, that should be the mentality with every fringe player, shouldn't it?If the Club get a trade they are happy with Luko is gone.
So l'm told.

Everything points to it. Question is what is decent trade? Late 1st sounds good, but I expect 2nd round pick if we are shipping him out.If the Club get a trade they are happy with Luko is gone.

It's not a cap issue. That's what Cal Twomey said.Everything points to it. Question is what is decent trade? Late 1st sounds good, but I expect 2nd round pick if we are shipping him out.
Will he play in VFL tomorrow?
Listening to Twomey, it does look like Luko's contract is back ended. It would off-load a lot of money.
I still think Dimma did not use him properly or he just does not fit into his plan.
Yeah, it does look like surplus with Mac, Read, Walter but they are still developing. 1M would be handy to re-sign Rowell, Mac.It's not a cap issue. That's what Cal Twomey said.
It's more of a team balance issue.
If he played this week, he likely replaces Walter.
If we keep Mac forward, then we need to play Luko in defence where he struggled early this season before being moved forward.
Moving Mac forward has freed up King and Ballard.
Then, we need to find a spot for Ethan Read.

Luko kicked 39 last year in a shit team. With shit inside 50 numbers.Everything points to it. Question is what is decent trade? Late 1st sounds good, but I expect 2nd round pick if we are shipping him out.

If Luko is not in Dimma's plans and is pushed out he will come cheap.Luko kicked 39 last year in a shit team. With shit inside 50 numbers.
He will kick the same again most years in a different team one would assume.
Plenty of teams in need of key forwards.
Worth a pick around 10 or player similar value? Rioli?
We don’t need picks. We need best 22 playersIf Luko is not in Dimma's plans and is pushed out he will come cheap.
If we turn Luko into Rioli that would be good business.We don’t need picks. We need best 22 players
And he in contracted
No rush to move on him quickly and cheaply
Small point, but if you listen to Twomey on Gettable he says Luko is on a lucrative contract, and it would take around $1m to get him out. That doesn't mean he's getting $1m from the Suns for the next two years. I took as that he would want more than his current salary to move and that would be around $1m.Yeah, it does look like surplus with Mac, Read, Walter but they are still developing. 1M would be handy to re-sign Rowell, Mac.
