Player Watch Jack Lukosius

[PJ Power]

The best part is that once he gets comfortable with his spot in the team, he will play even worse.

Top 10 pick for another Finlayson, stands around and does nothing. Never led at the ball in his life. Bargain.

And on the evidence so far, he’ll drag Georgiades down to his level.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

The best part was seeing the ball go to him one out in an advantageous position and outsizing his defender and immediately knowing that nothing will come out of it

He won’t be another Jay Schulz.

 

[Blinky Nyland]

I agree that he played poorly but our game style of slowly picking our way to get the ball forward (provided we don't turn it over first) wouldn't even have worked if we had Cameron or Hogan playing for us.

 

[philthy05]

eh

we would have been even worse if we didn't have him out there tonight.

getting him wasn't the wrong decision.

folding like tissue paper at the trade table with Collingwood and Gold Coast was the **** up.

Exactly, Luko is one of the last players we should be mad at. The defence and mids got their asses beat, there wasn’t much our forwards could do.

 

[Felipe16]

Giving up a first round pick for someone who was dropped by the Gold Coast Suns says everything we need to know about Lukosius.

 

[davesnothere]

No defence no midfield.

Nobody forward of 5[emoji646] got a look in.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Maybe we can get Gold Coast to trade the pick back to us because they just need points for all their Academy players.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Worst trade in club history.

This guy is a dud and we have probably given up a top 5 pick from him. Well done Cripps and com

 

[MrMeaner]

Playing a structured forward line would help him, as it would have every forward since Schultz

Hate to break it to you folks, but until we get a coach that knows how to football.
We ain’t getting Jack out of Jack.

Hardwick can coach. Didn’t help to get Jack out of Jack. He doesn’t compete hard enough consistently enough. He never has. He’ll have 3-5 games this year where he’ll “prove” us bedwetters wrong, but the rest of the time he’ll be a bland, non-contributor.

It wasn’t his fault tonight. Georgiades, SPP, Finlayson and others were way worse than him. But he has cost us a first rounder that may well end up a top 6-8 pick. He needs to be bloody good to make it worth our while.

 

[Macca19]

Pretty well every single kick to him tonight was to his disadvantage. Over his head when he was in front, fell short when he was over the back, wrong side etc.

Need to work out if thats because he was woefully out of position or because our kicking to him was horrendous. I'm thinking its option B at the moment.

They have been saying that at the Gold Coast for 5 years.

 

[TeeKray]

I'm sure he'll have some good games but at this point it seems incredibly unlikely that we'll get the same value out of him as what we gave up to get him (ie almost certainly a top 10 pick). The trade is hard to defend really.

I think he'll play some reasonable footy you'll just have to accept he's another floater without an iota of mogrel and grit it's about how you use him to be most effective. He needs to be roaming high and delivering into 50 imo.

He's too deep into his career to live up to his draft year hype.

Too many floaters in the side and it stinks!

 

[Ah12]

How was he even worth a first rounder? Hes been in and out of gold coasts side for years and Hardwick clearly didnt rate him. That shouldve been a 2nd rounder every day if the week.

How many laconic players do we want FFS

And lucky us got Atkins thrown in as part of the deal!

I don't want any he's here now though working out and playing him to his strengths is the only thing we can do.

Hardwick not being fussed about him leaving was a red flag.

 

[PAFC66]

We'll turn out to be another Finlayson
