Player Watch Jack Lukosius

[Traveling_Power]

Cotton wool for the year. Can he be moved to the LTI list for a mid season draft pick?

and if we add Sinn with Luko also. then we will have 4 picks for the mid-season draft

These doctors bills will be mounting up.
No insurance company will touch us soon.

How many years left on his contract? It might be worth cutting our losses and getting rid of him. Absolute injury prone plodder.

Contracted until 2030 so there is a way to go.

Geez, the people associated with the 2024 trade period should all be sacked. Davies and Hinkley are gone but others should follow. We lost a two time All Australian defender and inherited an injury prone 'could be' and at the same time lost out on the Draft. That is not Lukosius' fault but those responsible should be weeded out. I am really angry about 2024 as I think it has ****ed our list up.

Around a year ago REH posted a cryptic comment about Parker and Cripps. I wasn't too sure what he was on about at the time but now I am sure.

As posted by another we could have as many as four picks in the MSD. Wouldn't that be something? Not a single pick in the 2025 National Draft but four picks in the 2026 Mid Season Draft ?

I’d be surprised if we were to use more than two picks mid year?

There simply isn’t the depth.

Possibly a likely Ruck and the best available forward or midfielder?

A long term view on both?

Groin Syndesmosis & Stomach Migraines.
Lethal combination.

Take him to the glue factory. He's done.

He won't be delisted as some have mentioned. But if he ends up having another poor season (this injury doesn't help) would it be unreasonable for Port to try and renegotiate the existing contract at some point or even ask the question? Would Jack potentially feel I am not giving value for money....I'll take a slight pay cut.

He obviously has no obligation to do that, and Port were the ones stupid enough to give him the deal but some of the Port hierarchy must be thinking WTF were we doing.

I’m not across the specifics of AFL player contracts, but I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a variable component of pay built in, where a portion of the salary flexes based on games played or availability.

Would assume there’s a base salary, with a variable component tied to games, performance, or similar triggers.

Happy to be corrected by someone closer to it, but it’s hard to see clubs committing to long-term, high-value deals without some form of protection like that in place.

There is both a base and variable components, but player manager's pressure and to a lesser extent lazy clubs who want certainty over the higher paid players, now give the higher paid players just a base payment and if they play finals, those players get standard match payments of around $5k per game. Finals match payments aren't included in the salary cap.
