You're drawing a long bow comparing Gold Coast to Port and the Crows although if you talk like that enough you try and turn the perception into reality. Sure not going that great but remember this Richmond finished 13th the year before a premiership. Not to mention we finished only a couple % below you. Does that mean Hawthorn are not a destination club too.
Think you've missed the point a little mate. Onfield you guys and Adelaide are streets ahead of GCS. I'm talking off field. I think most would agree it seems both Port and Adelaide may have some issues going on behind the scenes. I have no idea how you compare to each other but the perception is there. If a kid like Lukosius wants out running head first into more turmoil may not be as appealing as it is for other kids wanting out with the option to head home.
I think you'll find that the main issues with Port come from a large group of very vocal "supporters" (the sack Hinkley crowd). I expect this group are likely to be the same people who formed (the Sack Williams crowd). I think you'll find internally its not too bad but the Crows propoganda arm (The Advertiser, 5AA and others) have been pedaling the view that Port have no cash and doing what they normally do (destabilisation agenda).
every chance. I actually don't mind the strategy of loading up on picks this year to go to the draft - we have traded / are trading out a number of old players and then a couple like Keath and Greenwood so will end up with a number of 2nd rounders + pick 4 - should bring in some more good youth to compliment the players we have. Then next year make a big play for Lukosius and maybe..just maybe a big free agency play for B Grundy IF he still has not signed on with Collingwood
Damo Barrett is a muppet. Generally what he says - go with the exact opposite and you get close to the mark
You’re a few weeks behind mate.
Lukosius is just a man of his word and is waiting till his rookie contract is over so he can come play alongside his best mate Rozee.
I dont think thats Lukosius's first beer, that thumb is struggling to take shape
FWIW, listening to Ben King's presser, it looks like it's only a question of time when Luko re-signs with Suns.

Gee, Jack's already working on getting Connor to the Crows...nice work Jacky
It looks like Connor just won a thumb war. Kids these days really know how to partyI dont think thats Lukosius's first beer, that thumb is struggling to take shape
In most cases family is an easy reason.
Of course, football career is short. Fans last maybe 10- 15 years and everything is over after that. No guarantee going back to Adelaide or Melbourne early will be success. Tom Lynch get paid over with GCS and still get a flag with Richmond.
