Player Watch Jack Lukosius

[Ford Fairlane]

When big Darren had hair he was more a part in the middle kind of guy. Jack is a dedicated neat side part.

 

[ElectricG]

Different type of player obv but if he can give us the 2 goals a game that Dixon used to then I consider the trade successful

 

[Imhotep]

From 2016 to 2024 charlie Dixon was targeted with the most kicks inside forward 50 of any player in the AFL. In that time he managed to average two goals a game twice! He never managed to kick over fifty goals in a season.

This is a man who stands at 203cms and 110 kgs. That had an entire game plan built around him with a premier rated midfield that won more clearances than any other team in the same time period. If Jack Lukosius does anything that resembles Dixons time at the club it will be a failure.

 

[Grave Danger]

I'm trying to think of a nickname for Lukosius and I think at the moment I'm settling in on 'the dart' because some of those 70 metre kicks are darts, mate, darts, like low flying missiles.

A slogan for Lucozade at one time was "Have you got it in you?"

I don't mind it.

Luko basically landed in our laps, being from SA and all. It coincided with Dixons retirement. So now people are thinking he’s Dixons replacement, which is so wrong. They’d be both playing together had he not retired. So if we’re really wanting to replace a BIG bodied forward, then it’s Lord, or rest Sweet up forward. Don’t be comparing the two, cause you’ll sound silly.

I was just having fun lambasting Dixon honestly. Worst player we've ever had the misfortune to bring onto our list.

That might be a bit of hyperbole… he did have an all Australian year. Plenty of players we have brought on to our list haven’t even gone close to that.

The Dixon hate on this forum has always puzzled me. Yeah he wasn't perfect but he was a guy who visibly gave his all every time he pulled on the guernsey and hated losing. Still remember him bawling his eyes out after the Richmond prelim, that's a guy who really cares. People hate him because of his blind devotion to Hinkley but his heart was in the right place.

 

[bomberclifford]

He shitcanned supporters on more than one occasion. That’s why he cops it.

 

[Imhotep]

I couldn't care less what he's said about supporters honestly. If he'd delivered a premiership he could say we're all campaigners and I'd cheer him on. I don't care if they give their all either, that's the bare minimum I expect of these people. The All Australian he was awarded was BULLSHIT Jack Reiwoldt, Tom Lynch, Josh Kennedy and Jeremy Cameron all had better years than Dixon. Not to mention he got the AA in a COVID year when he got to perform to no crowds with the best midfield in the competition.

 

[JimmyBC]

I reckon Charlie's foot in mouth disorder is a symptom of coming from a non football state and having no real understanding of success in a heartland environment, hate would be too strong a word for me he just played dumb whether by instruction or limited understanding of being a key forward due to his background I think it's a bit of both.

 

[ElectricG]

I don’t like him either but him at his best was good

You've definitely gone a bit overs on that one.

 

[Ralph Lorenz]

I'll never forget Dixon's 2017 elimination final OT extravaganza game. He had the strength of 1000 men, until 1000 men fell on his knee.

Luko's strength is how dynamic he can be in the modern game, structurally he can fill most holes providing we have 2 other fully fit KPF & KPDs (which he can also play as). I hope the coaches utilise him fully when game day strategy puts us on the back foot as often happens against solid sides.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Can we just give him the license to kick goals from beyond the 50 at all times? I feel he is more likely to snag a goal from that far then a 30-40 metre set shot from a slight angle.

Bump it out to 60 and you've got a deal.

 

[Rash]

He sucks.

We paid a future first round pick for him

We probs finish bottom 8 this year.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Bust

 

[Chrizzt]

We've had 32 inside 50s, 20-odd of which have gone directly to a loose collingwood player. Probably no point making any conclusive statements on him just yet.

To be fair, the entries have been putrid.

He’s no good. We’ve had six years to watch him prove himself.

****ing Bigfooty posters can work this out but our list management team who work full time+extra cannot

 

[Powerade 08]

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.
