Player Watch Jack Lukosius

[PowerLil]

According to Chad, Lukosius isn't the biggest fan of gym work.

Lol at Chad. There has been a question mark over the complete squad under the previous coaching panel. I would suggest to Chad that the lack of standards set by the fat controllers, Kenny and bro Chris has been the driving factor.

 

[Chachi]

Chad did say a few weeks back that out he would've kept Marshall as KPF and sent Luko into defence. Still early days for the Marshall transition but so far it's hard to argue with.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Because defenders never get injured...

Yeh we can see that

Rozee needs to look his mate in the eye as a captain and a friend and sort him out.

Sounds like he’s happy with the contract and doesn’t want to do the hard work

Good call. Rozee has to have a harsh word with Lukosius. A lot of guys are putting in the hard work and with the coin he's on, he has to show something. Better speed, endurance, power, running, whatever.

Dougie is coming and maybe Lukosius will be on a million dollars playing in the Magoos in a few years.

That is Rozees job as Captain. If he's not prepared to do that he shouldn't be captain. PA needs to have standards in relation to effort in training & games. Players should be dropped if they don't meet these standards irrespective of their salary or reputation. Basic stuff.

Jack is not serious about being a quality contributor to the team & wasn't at GC throughout his time there. He wasn't worth the risk of a R1 pick & particularly after we have traded several out previously.

I doubt he could bench press his paycheck.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Chad should shut the **** up, really. The Cornes crew really so love ingesting satchels and farming sour grapes.

Chad did say a few weeks back that out he would've kept Marshall as KPF and sent Luko into defence. Still early days for the Marshall transition but so far it's hard to argue with.

The only way that would work in my opinion, is allowing Lukosius to be a free intercepting defender, otherwise it won't work. He is and would be terrible as a defender otherwise, especially 1v1.. And Port already have Aliir there to do that role. Marshall can provide a lot more then Jack back there. There's only so many options for Lukosius with how he presents himself and plays, that's either a free forward who can do what ever and not have the better defenders on him, which means they'd hopefully have to be on Georgiades or Whitlock, OR, he is a wingman, and as much as I'd believe he could play that role, he is clearly lazy and not wanting to do anything except be a forward.. Well, that's how I perceive it. Could be wrong.

Of course it is early days, we haven't even played one proper game yet. Marshall has had 2 quarters of match sim.

 

[Willsy10]

So Rozee needs to look Luko in the eye and give him a spray for hurting his groin?

Injuries happen to a lot of footballers, some more than others and it is quite often through no fault of their own, some players are just more susceptible or have a run of bad luck. We don't even know the extent of this injury, could just be a very minor niggle they don't want to risk so he is good to go in round 1.

some serious overreacting going on here. Luko wasn't even injury prone at the suns, so it's been an unlucky start to his career here but i'm sure he isn't getting injured on purpose and doesn't need to apologise for it.

 

[SureBuddy]

Massive overreaction by so many. God the guy had a collision injury and broke his knee cap last year, how is that his fault? That is purely bad luck.
He has never been considered injury prone before, he was actually pretty reliable at the Suns.

Yeah i agree, if it was soft tissue like fantasia and stuff that would give people the right to act like this

Ignoring the knee hes strung together a back injury, 2 calf injuries and a groin injury which likely have nothing to do with a broken knee cap.

Thats a flag of someone who wasnt committed to the rehab

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I've seen highlights of Lukosius down back and they are really good. I liked him as the third defender. You have to remember that he can use that mule of a kick with greater devastation down back. He ran off and kicked beautifully.

He's going to be a tough watch until he gets consistency in a role but with Dougle and Zoomer coming into the team soon, we will have a plethora of tall timber.

You watch him train? See him in the gym? Know his diet? Track his sleep? Join him when out on the piss?

**** me

It's definitely a bit weird or just super duper unlucky.

**** me

We've got a comedian over here.

Seeing him in the gym is about as much chance of seeing fantasia near one

 

[Doctor Feel]

I dont want a weak as piss forward to be a weak as piss defender. He can go be weak as piss in the delist pile.

Agree, even when fit he should be playing sanfl until he stops being a soft ****

 

[tribey]

I still don’t get how we lost a reigning dual All-Australian with years left on his contract for a player on a bloated contract Gold Coast didn’t want, a spud on a bloated contract who was incapable of top-flight football, and a decent but largely unproven mature age small forward.

How did we end up a first rounder short after all that?

 

[Portmagpies36]

He’s not a fan of work full stop.

 

[tribey]

He plays by far his best football as a tall Bailey Williams.

Which is nice in favourable circumstances, but not when he’s being paid like a prime elite power forward.

I watched his highlights a while ago and he was that free intercepting defender type who ran off and he had some serious numbers for marking, intercepting and metres gained.

I think the defensive side wouldn't be the best. You would play him like a cross between Aliir and Houston. That aerial marking and intercepting and then a bit of run and a sweet boot coming forward.

All the decision making of a bottom club, absolutely no backbone with Houston even Essendon showed a bit of spine to keep Merrett.
