Player Watch Jack Lukosius

[Chewy316]

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.

Because it was a future first and given the amount of academy and F/S selections at the top end of this upcoming draft, if they finished around 9th, that pick would blow out to be in the early 20s.

We'll turn out to be another Finlayson

Finlayson and Luko both lack the competitve edge to succeed.

There is no want or hunger to aspire to be the best player they can be.

There's no want or hunger to even approach a contest lol

So a perfect fit under this management.

I can't defend this guy all year, I want my buddy draft pick back.

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

Maybe, just maybe, Jack was thrown in as part of the Atkins deal.

The day we line up Marshall - Luko - Finalayson together in our forward line will officially be the softest group of key forwards in one team ever.

Everyone knows Luko is highly skilled but lacks presence, intent, aggression and all other aspects required to actually get your hands on the ball.

This guy is going to cruise his way to 200+ bruise free games and we're going to tear our hair out in frustration watching it.

 

[PJ Power]

I’d start by demanding that he walks with his shoulders back and head up. He slouches all the time. A key forward needs presence and aura. Lukosius has none of that.

Hardwick the Great was prepared to let him go.
That said it all for me from day one.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I'll take him. It'll be tough love though.

Who’s ya Daddy now bitch.

 

[MrMeaner]

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.

It was both, Macca. The kicks were awful hacks that only advantaged defenders and Jack hardly ever had separation from his (and sometimes, Mitch’s) opponent.

Until the supporters of this club realize that the heirachy of this club have successfully destroyed this club and revolt in a major way we will never be a successful club.
We are pure sh#t under koch and hinkley.
The recruitment of lukosious is just a sympton of the total ineptness of this entire club!

 

[Windy Cindy]

A 3 time premiership coach didn’t rate him or his effort..

 

[Portmagpies36]

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.

Hardwick would have driven Lukosius and Atkins to the airport to get them off the list and free up their exorbitant salaries.

 

[StueyDaDew]

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.

Some considered Dew as a good coach until he got shoved under the bus by the GCS. Luko was a regularly under S Dew and was a reasonable player.
Maybe he thought Hardwick was a dick and wanted to return back to SA.
The reason he likely didn’t play him in the A’s.

You are trying to read tea leaves mate.
Lukosious is a spud that is evident by his inept performances including last night. His mate rozee isnt much better.
But the inept coach stating thae lukosious was a high light of last nights performance is unbelievable@

If were me I would have try swapping him down back and put Finlayson forward to try and stop the hemorrhaging.
Most of his stats were defensive side of the wing. What does that tell you….Hinkley.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

We are pretty sure what we have but lets give it more than one game.

Let him settle in. See what he can do.

 

[Rash]

He will play well against richmond like all our players ussaly do: be flat track bullies.

All the happy clappers will aploud him and say how good he is, but when we vs a top 8 team he will crumble.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

It's more than likely that he's a second or third banana but we have to see it first.

I was just about to post that Luko reminds me of Finlayson with his lacklustre maybe-I'll-run-maybe-I-won't kind of demeanour.

We've got a few too many of those kinda players, really didn't need another one. Can't see him significantly boosting our forward output or talk presence down there.

 

[RossFC]

A 3 time premiership coach didn’t rate him or his effort..

At least a 0 time prelim winner does, so Luko is a rich man.

If there's one thing I hope Carr can bring to this group, it's a bit of mongrel. I'm worried you can't teach it though.

This is a big exaggeration - there's a lot of academy and father-sons available in this draft, but it's not like the top 10 is going to be made up with 90% of them.

At this stage, Zeke Uwland is the only certainty to be a top 10 pick from the academy and father-son players.

You can't teach it, you either have it or you don't.
Easy to pick the hard players from an early age.
People are delusional if they think grown men are going to change from pussy's to hard nuts.
What we have will always be.
