Player Watch Welcome to Port Adelaide Jack Lukosius

[Peninsula Boy]

The two things that will drive his price down is that Dimma is not a fan and the cap space, along with GWS, is invaluable to them.

I hope he enjoys being at home and more relaxed with family and friends and fulfils his potential.

I'd love to see him hit the weight room a bit.

 

[Bump Bailey]

The club won't allow that to happen. Unless things drastically change. It was been made clear to Tredrea he is a Board member only. Even some simple tips he has wanted to give players around leading patterns was shot down in flames. Chad Cornes is the Forward coach and he will be the one who does the coaching.

I would have thought when you have your only AFL Premiership Captain and Multiple All-Australian key forward wanting to pass on some wisdom this would be welcomed with open arms, but I guess those at Alberton have other ideas.

Additionally, imagine if we also had an internationally-renowned coach of multiple tennis champions who rather than letting him utilise his strengths and work with the coaches, was instead shunned by small-minded, paranoid people and marginalised to a point where he felt like he had nothing to offer and walked away.

Imagine.

 

[Rigs]

Very happy with Luko
But hard to get too excited if we don’t replace Ken and High performance team. I think they’re the two most crucial

Terrible. I'm sure there is an emoji for it.

I'd love for Marshall to find a role where he's not getting concussed every week, but his last concussion was from a simple tackle. Fear that for his sake, he's done.

It was MG knee to the head/neck against the wees & poos.

Cracks me up everytime I see anything to do with Burgess and the Camries.

What a ****ing mercenary.

 

[Lambot]

I don't really like him as a player but given we have probably the worst forward line in the whole league he will still improve it.

The problem comes when our game plan turns into "bomb it to Luko"
Our forward line is trash, yes, but our forward entries are worse

 

[Festerz]

What a ****ing mercenary.

When it comes to employment and salary I think most people are. And most people over-estimate their own worth as well.

The criticism goes to those who pay the salary when it isn't justified doesn't it?

 

[OneGreatClub]

Why does Dimma want him gone and why wasn’t he played later this year?
I don’t follow other clubs ins and outs but I thought there were flaws with him?

 

[jackag24]

I would have that ‘other guy’ tomorrow. McLean - think he is the best of the three.

Yeah I just drew a blank on his name.. decent player aswell

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Hardwick himself declared that '80% of the club's next premiership team' was already on the list ...

... not you

Keep Ken and that's what it'll be. Then midway through the year we'll try him at half back because it wasn't working.

Jack Watts v2

 

[Vagabond0]

Will be interesting to see how we line up KPF-wise next year. I'm assuming no Dixon or Marshall.

Luko and Georgie are both clear best 22. Finlayson is a better player than Ratugolea but is probably just a poor man's version of Luko, whereas Ratugolea offers a bit of a point of difference and could potentially have a bit more impact when not in a forward line clogged up with Dixon trying to play the same role that Rat is playing.

With any luck Lord or Scully comes on and makes it a moot point.

Scully out of contract, not sure they would extend if we get Lukosius. I guess it depends on how they see the odds of Marshall becoming unavailable.

Lord I think signed at least until 2025.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Ah well at least trade period will be interesting

What happens if Kens replacement is Hardwick?

 

[Andre]

No-one else overpays Gold Coast. Why should we?

We did for Dixon. They know the AFL cough VFL cough are happy for them to be a cheap development pipeline for the Vic clubs, but they (AFL) are happy for them to screw us over. I'm just waiting for the mental gymnastics from commentators that we have to accept a shit price for Houston as he wants out, whilst having to pay up for Lukosius as he's contracted. It'll be wild.

 

[simba_]

how did this go from nominating us to 6 year deal in 5 hours, isn't there a giant middle bit involving what picks it takes to get him that we missed

Apparently Rioli to GC for #6 is a fait accompli, but Carlton are getting squeamish about #11 for Houston.

Same age, same income. One is coming off back to back AA, the other plays for the Tiges.

Crowey sounds a bit deflated . Wants to know why Lukosius has suddenly chosen Port and what has being on behind the scenes when Crows were offering him more.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Are there any other good AFL players who were in Rozee’s bridal party

It was obvious Lukosius had chosen Port a few weeks ago but he couldn't announce it while we were still in the finals. That seemed obvious to me
