Player Watch Welcome to Port Adelaide Jack Lukosius

He looks like a cool dude extra, background left in The Great Gatsby

What he really wanted to say was I chose Port because I've already been at a start-up franchise with no history or soul no offence to the camries.

He chose West Egg over East Egg.

Hope he doesn't lose his hair and become bald anytime soon.

With Lukosius Georgiades and hopefully Marshall- Rioli, Richards, SPP and hopefully Hotton or Berry, we have the makings of a dynamic and mobile forward line. The best way to exploit that is quick (almost reckless) ball movement.

We also have a midfield, if given licence, who can deliver on that plan. The problem will be that teams will put numbers behind the ball to slow us down and reduce space. Ken’s counter tactic of kicking it to the monster forward and locking it in, won’t be playing to our strengths in 2025.

Spreading the defence will be the key. Having Lukosius work up the ground, switching play, corridor offence (more difficult without Houston) and a capacity to score from 50m+ will be the key but the major difference we should see is a forward line setting up by spreading across all of the F50- not having a pack form in one spot.

Get this right and we will become a 3 goal better side.

Oh to see a forward spread. A dream come true.

Cone on ladies & gents! Is there one thread on this board I can read that’s not polluted by a Hinkley shitstorm.
Port signing Luko is a positive, so be happy

For once an appropriate typo error that makes sense

 

[TazD]

Yeah, you shouldn't talk about Lukos new coach or how he will use him. Ken has no bearing on it. Just be happy farken.

How many goals does Jack need kick in 25 to get a pass mark?

For me, 45ish

He kicks 45 we are in for a good season.

A grand total of 9 kfs in an 18 team league kicked 45+ goals last year. Mitch finished with 44.

From a quick squizz the amount of teams that had a 2nd kf that kicked more than 30 was 7, so 30 is a very good achievement if so few teams are achieving that.

Dixon has cracked 45 twice in his career in a side that played through him at every opportunity.




I’ve said this many times, but people still apply pass marks to kfs as if it’s 1987 or something.



45 for luko isn’t a pass mark, it’s pants down windmilling stuff.

 

[JimmyBC]

45 goals could be a stretch when Lukosius might be best suited a kick and a half from goal.

Bring back the ff's kicking 80/90/100+ goals.

Maybe pass mark should be lower, but from all accounts, he is probably on like 900k+/yr, has kicked 39 goals 2 years ago (you would expect an improvement on that), and we have just paid a future 1st rounder for him.

I think I would be a little disappointed if he kicked 30-something (assuming he played all games) given what we paid to get him.

This also depends on how we play him. As mentioned later in the thread, maybe goals + GAs would be a better/fairer metric.

Free flowing end to end with old school one on one deep forwards & defenders.

Go and watch some old SoO clips from the 90's man it's entertaining.

Was great to watch in the old days both in the VFL and SANFL.
Obviously the game is totally different but also the goal kicking skills have fallen away.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

40 goals would be about right for the first year at a new club but with plenty of game under his belt and being the second banana to Mitch.

45 and its a good year.

50 and him and Mitch are the new dynamic duo.

Just allow pitch invasions for 50.

It depends how they play Jack if he plays higher forward it'll be about his high skill by foot and delivery inside 50 more than personal goal tally.

Definitely.

I would prefer it if he played a bit outside the arcs and used that delightful foot of his to hit up guys or take a ping. So it may be a few more scoring involvements that offset the goals.

I also gave you a thumbs down recently but it was an ironic thumbs down.

J-Luk rules, OK!

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I've said it before but he needs to at least be a 40 goal/year forward to break even what we traded out for him
