Player Watch Jack Lukosius

[Schulzenfest]

About the only way we come out of this trade without it looking like complete dogshit is if this bloke fulfils his promise as a former pick 2. No pressure Jack.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Luko is a good pick up. improves our side. I would like to stick him up forward and leave him there. Yes he is versatile but this has affected his form.

Luko likes to finish so we will need another forward who can work hard and do all of the garbage work.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Another uncompetitive flake who goes missing in the heat of battle, welcome to the PAFC Jack, you’ll fit right in.

 

[all seeing eye]

Question is does Luko in the side makes us better then when Dixon, Marshall or Finlayson are in?
Question is does Richards in the side makes us better then when McEntee, F Evans or Narkle are in?

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Happy to have him and think he’ll be a good get up forward. Just a shame we overpaid given the contract terms unless the Suns are carrying some of that.

Now we just need an actual forwards coach and open up the forward line for him and Georgiades to create in space.

 

[Spadge]

How are we gonna fit Lukosius, Ratugolea, Finlayson, Lord, Marshall and Georgiades in the same forwardline?

is it going to be the Hexagon of doom?

is it going to be the Hexagon of doom?

Yes but the doom is ours when the ball hits the ground.

How are we gonna fit Lukosius, Ratugolea, Finlayson, Lord, Marshall and Georgiades in the same forwardline?

is it going to be the Hexagon of doom?

Well Finlayson is break glass in case of emergency. Marshall is always out with either injury or concussion lately. Ratugolea won't be getting a game unless there are injuries (might even train as a ruck if Soldo gets traded).

Nothing quite like playing 4 talls though (Lord, Marshall, Georgiades and Lukosius) in the middle of winter when it's boggy and wet.

Luko wandering into Alberton on the first day of pre-season

 

[x_les_x]

Lol you do realise our shit for brains coaching staff will just earmark him as dixon replacement mk2 and have the sole gameplan revolve around booting it over his head and relying on him taking marks against 2-3 opponents.

Thats exactly the opposite type of forward he is. Hes a nick riewoldt type create space and leadup to the ball with the occasional pack mark. Not the hawkins/dixon man wrestle. He wont do any better than Lord did this year when we go in with the same piss blast gameplan. If its a revolving hit up lead gameplan we had a chance, losing our best ball distributor makes that more unlikely however

 

[all seeing eye]

Wasnt overly excited by getting Rioli at time, but proved me wrong big time, hopefully Luko does same. A soft player who kicks 30+ a year is a step up for us.

 

[Schulzenfest]

How are we gonna fit Lukosius, Ratugolea, Finlayson, Lord, Marshall and Georgiades in the same forwardline?

is it going to be the Hexagon of doom?

We won't. It'll be Georgie, Luko, and one of Rat/Lord (hopefully Lord). I'm essentially treating Marshall as medically retired, and Finny is depth only at the moment.

 

[RossFC]

If we can't get 30 goals out of him, close the joint down.

 

[AdamMarrett]

I'm calling it he will play half back under Hinkley and Ratugolea will take Dixon's role and nothing will change with our entries inside 50.

But in all seriousness I rate the lad and happy to see him at Port. I just don't know what his best position is but there is a player there.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I should have known they were going to pay ridiculous overs when initially I was informed about Lukosius having interest in Port and they compared his talent and situation to JHF 2 years ago.

Hope it's not the same people that had to evaluate Esava and Soldo's talent.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

If we can't get 30 goals out of him, close the joint down.

He needs to be a 40+ goals player for the price we paid.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

A new chance with home cooking and his best mate.

Cash in that talent, Jack.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Well Finlayson is break glass in case of emergency. Marshall is always out with either injury or concussion lately. Ratugolea won't be getting a game unless there are injuries (might even train as a ruck if Soldo gets traded).

Nothing quite like playing 4 talls though (Lord, Marshall, Georgiades and Lukosius) in the middle of winter when it's boggy and wet.

The only way anything works after this trade period is:
Marshall returns to the version from the second half of 2022.
Finlayson magically transforms back into the 2019 H&A version of himself.
Ollie Lord turns into the 2020 version of Charlie Dixon.

And Jack Lukosius decides that he really wants to be an intercepting half back and surpases Dan Houston.

 

[Adz2332]

He's an upgrade on the last few years Dixon

 

[jakey]

He's an upgrade on current Marshall. Ignoring the price we paid, Georgi, this guy, Rioli and SPP is a decent start on a functional forward line if we can develop a game plan to use their strengths.

 

[Lagooner]

About the only way we come out of this trade without it looking like complete dogshit is if this bloke fulfils his promise as a former pick 2. No pressure Jack.

Lol good luck with that.

Expectation: Second coming of Warren Tredrea

Reality: Second coming of Jack Watts
