Traded Jack Lukosius - Joins Port Adelaide as part of a 3-way trade with Collingwood and Gold Coast

I can't believe this bloke wasn't a salary dump.

 

[Crowbling]

Gold Coast pinching themselves after managing to salary dump Lukosius and Atkins and get paid full value for it.

 

[Sherrinator]

Lukosius is either a rebounding half back or a 3rd tall forward. Seems crazy to have a guy who should be a play maker as a role player tbh.

I wonder where the intend on playing him.

Probably plays more consistent footy from the back half

They are just stoked they got a highly rated player for peanuts. They will 100% misuse him.

I dont understand the acquisition to be honest


Marshall doesn't appear to be "the guy",
Georgiades is a physical beast but not sure if he can be the main banana
Finlayson in purgatory (or did I miss him being delisted?)

just another flanker added to an already undersized fwd group


If played back, is he any better than what they have? is he good enough to replace Houstons rebound?

I dunno, I agree that they're probably happy to get an overs for peanuts

He has better skills but the guy is not aggressive enough to be a game changer. He isn’t improving them and if anything will clog their forward line up.

Needs to be a rebounding half back or bust.

It’s interesting that he’s leaving now Dimma has taken over. I’d imagine he got a few home truths.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Will be interesting to see whether he ends up being value for money on $950k pa.

Said before trade week started it made more sense for him to choose Port over the Crows as Port are in more need of forwards...
Dixon retired.
Marshall in serious doubt with repeat head injuries.
Lord an unknown.

Reckon we will be useful as floating 3rd tall, with Georgiades as the main target & Finlayson (hopefully over personal issues) as 2nd tall/ruckman.

Think Ratugolea is better at CHB.

Did you watch many of his games under Dew?

He did play a role similar to Houston and pretty well.

Don't think you've seen the best of him yet.
